Children walk early and late, suggesting the "IQ" high or low?

Nowadays, the community is getting bigger and bigger, and the buildings are getting taller and taller, and because of the recent hot weather, the pool area at the entrance is full of parents or grandparents with children.

The other day when I passed by the entrance of the district, I heard an aunt say proudly: my grandson is only nine months old and has already learned to walk, so smart, and grow up to be great. Immediately afterward, people around the kind of chatting away, some bragging about their children walking early; some are full of envy, saying their own children are more than a year old, stand still can not stand let alone walk.

Independent walking is the most important feature that distinguishes humans from animals, so walking alone is also the most important milestone in determining the development of your baby's big movements. Walking alone requires the coordination of the baby's brain and trunk, limbs, eyes, and other organs, and represents a higher level of ability that the baby will learn as he grows, and a big step for the baby to start living independently. Many parents will discuss the age at which their child will walk, which is an indication of how important walking alone is as a milestone in a baby's gross motor development. As you can see, the conventional wisdom is that the early age of learning to walk is related to IQ. But, does it imply "IQ" when a child walks early or late?

The most important feature that distinguishes humans from animals is walking independently, so walking alone is also the most important milestone in determining your baby's gross motor development. This is the most important milestone in your baby's development. Walking alone requires the coordination of your baby's brain and trunk, limbs, eyes, and other organs, and represents a higher level of ability that your baby will learn as he grows up, and a big step towards starting an independent life. Many parents will discuss the age at which the child can walk, which is enough to show how important it is to walk alone as a milestone in the development of the baby's big movements.

A. Parents' comparison mentality fuels these "misconceptions"

Hearing this, it is really hard to think that people are listed in various comparisons from birth. Then height, then intelligence, than looks, than on the talent training courses ...... interesting is that, no matter what the comparison, the end will always be unified by parents to their own children's high IQ.

The truth is that these are not even remotely related, and the main factor in deciding to walk early or late also has nothing to do with IQ, so don't be fooled, moms and dads.

Second, the child learns to walk sooner or later, affected by the following factors

01, personality children have different personalities, some lively and active, and always like to show themselves, as long as the parents a little assistance, they will learn to stand up and walk, this kind of children generally learn to walk are relatively early. Another introverted and timid character of the child maybe because of shyness or fear of unstable fall, have been afraid to try to walk, learn that time is naturally later.

02, coordination ability people in the process of walking, need leg, feet, and arms coordination, some children due to physical reasons, poor or late development of physical coordination, walking time will naturally be postponed. Relatively speaking, the better the coordination, the earlier the child learns to walk, but this is not directly related to IQ.

03, the muscle strength of the legs although the child grows small, the legs are also muscular, only when it develops to a certain extent, there is enough strength to support the child to walk upright. Some children develop physically earlier, their limbs are coordinated and strong, can walk very early; the rest of the children have poor leg strength, and can only more crawling way.

However, parents do not need to be overly anxious and do not think that other children of the same age can walk, their children are still crawling is a bad thing. The baby in the crawling process helps to exercise the body's coordination and leg muscles.

Third, when is it normal for babies to learn to walk?

Generally speaking, babies can start walking independently at about 1 year old, but they are still unsteady and can walk well at 15 months. Earlier babies can walk alone at 10 months, and at the latest generally not more than 15 months.

Some babies can't crawl and already walk, so some parents think there is no need for their babies to practice crawling, which is a misconception. Because crawling is beneficial for babies.

Crawling has an important role in promoting your baby's motor skills, cognitive abilities, and character development. Mothers should recognize the importance of crawling and actively provide their babies with an environment and opportunities that are conducive to crawling so that their babies' crawling ability can be fully exercised. But there are no absolutes, if some babies miss crawling because of certain factors, directly into the stage of standing alone, or walking alone, mothers do not have to be worried about the baby's motor skills, and intellectual development is affected. Besides, babies who can stand and walk can also exercise their crawling ability.

In the normal time frame, there is no difference in how early or late a child learns to walk. Many parents think that walking early is because the child is smart, so they start to "help" and intervene artificially. This is not advisable!

If parents are too eager, not only will it not be beneficial for their children to learn to walk, but it will even hurt the child's bones and joints, which may cause "O-shaped legs".

Fourth, the exercise of children's leg muscles and limb coordination skills tips

If parents can take their children to exercise some muscle and coordination of small games or movements, but also let the child in the process of learning to walk a little more relaxed.

"Sitting on a boat"

Parents lie on the ground, legs bent, let the baby lie on the legs, and then back and forth, up and down shaking legs, which can strengthen the baby's muscles. With the baby's favorite music, but also at the same time exercise hearing.

"Kick the ball"

Parents use both hands to hold the baby's armpits, move the baby's body to kick a small ball, can exercise the legs, and abdominal muscles, also strengthening the coordination ability.
