As babies grow up day by day, not only do they undergo physical and psychological changes, but they also acquire more and more skills. After a certain month, babies will learn to crawl or stand on their own. Due to differences in living environment and absorbed nutrients, the time required to learn these skills also varies. Some parents may say that their baby won't be able to climb or stand even when they're one year old. So what if their baby can't climb or stand even when they're one year old?
What should I do if my baby can't climb and stand at one year old
When a baby crawls, their entire body muscles can be exercised, and their hand eye coordination, balance, and spatial cognition can be developed.
Babies who cannot crawl may feel that their balance and hand foot coordination are poor in the future. At school age, some children may experience distractions and poor grades.
The doctor explained that 7 to 8 months is a critical period for babies to learn crawling. At the age of 7 or 8 months, parents can play games to teach children how to crawl. This can help the baby learn to crawl smoothly and promote parent-child relationships.
Usually, parents should give their babies more opportunities to crawl and walk on their own. If the baby still can't crawl at 9 months old, parents should pay more attention and take the child to a professional institution for examination and finding the cause.
What are the hidden dangers of babies not crawling
If it is caused by brain injury or motor nerve damage, there is a high possibility of motor dysfunction in the future, such as cerebral palsy, and even early treatment cannot achieve the same motor skills as normal people. But the probability of this happening is very low.
Some children may experience transient delay in brain development due to certain reasons, mainly manifested as slow motor development. For example, at 8 months old, they can sit, but their movements are clumsy, they cannot climb, or their crawling movements are clumsy. Some of these children may experience motor coordination disorders in the future, but most children can reach normal levels with age if they receive early training and treatment.
In general, babies have already learned to crawl and stand by the age of one. However, there are also individual cases where if it is not due to pathological reasons, it may be due to parents' laziness and inability to take care of their babies from a young age, resulting in such outcomes. In that case, parents need to take more action, accompany their babies to do every little move, and take care of their healthy growth with care.
