Why does an 8-month-old child not creep even in a plastunist way?
Not all children creep at this age. And this is not a deviation from the norm. Some children learn at first to crawl, then sit. Others on the contrary. One crawls only "on the tummy", the other confidently rises on all fours.

But to help your child develop faster, you have to deal with it. To sound the alarm and experience is worth it, if the kid does not try to crawl or walk for a year.
How to teach a child to crawl on all fours
So that the baby has an incentive to crawl, it should bemore often put on the floor. And next to him lay out a bright, interesting toy. It is necessary to cause the child's desire to take it in hand. The baby, lying on his stomach, will try to reach the goal. As soon as he succeeds, we must praise the child and rejoice with it a new achievement. And next time the distance to the goal is slightly increased. Helpful Hints:
- The floor must first be covered with a carpet for crawling or other not too soft covering. Grudnichku will be warm and comfortable to learn new skills.
- You have to learn to crawl on the floor, not on the couch or bed. From high surfaces, the baby can fall and hit. And on the floor in this regard is safer, and more room for movement.
- Begin to lay out the baby on the floor can be already from 3 months. At this age, they are actively learning to turn over. And the time spent on the floor will benefit his physical development.
These exercises should be done when the baby is active, in a good mood and does not want to eat or sleep.
What to do if the child does not crawl
Every child is unique. And the stages of development of each baby differ in time and in sequence. One child quickly crawls on all fours, and then crawls long and fast. And another baby, almost creeping, gets up and starts walking around 9-10. Everyone has his own, unique way of development. And help to learn how to crawl, the child will be helped by exercise. Circumcision with creeping peers will do good. The baby will take an "example" and quickly creep. Picking up water for bathing in the bath, put the baby on the bottom, tummy down. As the water is collected, the child will climb on the handles and legs. In water, the body becomes lighter, and the child is easier to climb. This exercise should be done carefully and under the supervision of an adult, so that the child does not get scared of the water. During this period, a beneficial effect on the physical development of the baby is provided by professional massage and gymnastics. If the child does not have something yet, do not look at peers who have already got it. Just for your child, the time to crawl has not yet come. Maybe tomorrow, he will crawl. And today you need to have patience, do exercises with him and praise him for new achievements.
