What's the relationship?<\/strong>\u2049\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very often I see and listen to families, discuss about the \"early\" skills of their children and how they started walking within 8-9 months.\ud83d\ude30
While I understand that it may seem exciting for a parent to have a child doing things in advance, it\u2019s really important to be aware that this could compromise the child\u2019s future physical, emotional, and cognitive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawling is a cornerstone of motor development that is important for a wide variety of future abilities reaching the ninth month of the child\u2019s life.\ud83d\udfe9 It is a milestone that teaches our children to look out for themselves, solve problems, and look for others in the environment.
\ud83d\udfe9It gives our children the ability to pursue peer relationships, explore the environment and move forward (physically and emotionally).
\ud83d\udfe9With the Crawling establishes the coordination eye \/ hand, the necessary skill to read and write.
Crawling is also essential for the development of vision, hearing, learning and reflex integration, it even acts as a physiological springboard for walking.
We have repeatedly said that movement goes hand in hand with learning and that brain activity, through the continuous movement of crawling on hands and knees, helps to stimulate and organize neurons, allowing the brain to control certain cognitive processes such as understanding, concentration, memory and speech development. And it strengthens the left and right sides of the brain, allowing more communication between the two parts, and thus stimulating learning.
For at least twenty years, research has highlighted the importance of this stage of evolution and how important an analysis of the movement of childhood as an early diagnosis of autism could also be.
There are so many publications about it, but despite this, it continues to be the crawling, a phase too undervalued by families, doctors and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clear that obviously, NOT all children who don\u2019t crawl develop future problems, but, on the contrary, many of those who have neurodevelopmental problems haven\u2019t crawled.
Or they haven\u2019t crawled enough, or they\u2019ve crawled badly, for example dragging themselves on their butts without a real crusader scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I wanted to do a little research on the \"I bimbi di Mario\" our students and patients that we follow in Italy and the United States, with ADHD, Autism spectrum syndrome, language disorders, dyslexia, misfortune, and we saw that 74% of them completely missed the stage of crawling.
A data that impressed us very much as you can see from the graphs below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science has known for years that children who lose their vital crawling phase may have learning difficulties.
It seems that: \"Everything has to do with a reflex called symmetrical tonic of the neck (STNR). \u2705 This reflex helps us to operate our upper and lower body independently. When a child gains independent control of arms, legs and neck, the STNR is mature.\"
When this reflex does not integrate, it may indicate immaturity of the central nervous system and bring or predict these problems \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb:
\u25fd\ufe0fADHD
Poor balance
Reading difficulties
\u25fd\ufe0fEmotional Difficulties
\u25fd\ufe0fRelationship Difficulties
\u25fd\ufe0fDyslexia (related to reading or spelling)
\u25fd\ufe0fPoor sense of orientation (left\/right)
\u25fd\ufe0fPoor academic skills
\u25fd\ufe0fImpulsiveness
\u25fd\ufe0fConfused manual skills
\u25fd\ufe0fFoot problems (very high or very flat feet)
\u25fd\ufe0fArched legs
\u25fd\ufe0fTendency to collapse when sitting at a desk
\u25fd\ufe0fPoor hand-eye coordination
\u25fd\ufe0fSlowness in copying activities
\u25fd\ufe0fDifficulty copying from blackboard while at desk
\u25fd\ufe0fDifficulty with vertical tracking (important for mathematical equations)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd3aCrawling on hands and knees is vital for the proper development of the brain and body.
\u2705Allow your baby to crawl for as long as he wants and when he walks alone he will bring with him the benefits for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffbIt\u2019s important to avoid a wait-and-see or fatalist approach when you have doubts about your child\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2764\ufe0fSo if you see that your baby crawls badly, fails, tries to get up early, or just have some doubts, contact us now, we will help you facilitate this fundamental step first of all with the FSC Method \/ Castagnini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0aYou have to encourage crawling even if your baby already walks: it\u2019s never too late to develop this ability!\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
