Family members, relatives, and friends always take extra care of the newly welcomed baby, wishing they could bring all the toys and early education from around the world to their home for the baby. Well, the baby is going to learn to walk, so of course they need a walker. But when they bought it, they realized that the baby can only walk backwards when sitting on the walker. What's going on?
1、 What's going on when a baby rides a walker and only moves backwards
At the beginning, it's like this when learning to walk in a walker, it's okay. But if the baby relies on a walker, it will delay the time for the baby to walk on their own. The safety of the walker affects the baby's balance ability. Most parents put their babies in strollers to learn how to walk because they are lazy. But the baby's balance ability needs to be exercised when they start walking by supporting themselves against the wall.
2、 How to teach a baby to walk
Firstly, when infants are learning to walk, to prevent falls, they should choose a place with a wide range of activities, flat ground, and no obstacles to learn to walk. If learning to walk indoors in winter, special attention should be paid to avoiding coal stoves, radiators, and sharp and angular objects indoors to prevent accidents. At the same time, it is necessary to provide the baby with suitable shoes and lightweight clothing to facilitate mobility and walking.
Secondly, when babies are learning to walk, parents should be careful not to rush for success, let alone stop practicing out of fear of falling. Teaching should be flexible according to the specific situation of one's own child. At the beginning of learning, it is important to schedule time every day to accompany and protect the baby, as this will help them learn to walk faster.
In addition, at the beginning of learning, babies can learn to walk in a walker. When the steps are steady, parents can hold the baby's hands or one hand to let him learn to walk. They can also hold the baby's armpits behind them or pull them with a towel to let him walk forward. After exercising for a period of time, babies can gradually start to experiment independently, and parents can stand in front of them and encourage them to move forward.
Mom and Dad, do you understand now that you see this? Actually, it's best for babies to rely on themselves for their growth. Lazy parents or busy parents who are too busy with work should not buy a walker just because they don't have time to help their babies learn to walk. This will affect their balance ability!
