At what age should a little manto make your first independent step? Many mothers, especially those who raise their first-born, this question seems extremely important. The sooner this happens, the more reasons for pride, and if such a significant moment is delayed for some reason, inexperienced parents tend to worry and be upset. Elena Shuvarina, teacher and psychologist, head of the Center for Development for Children and Parents "House of Joy", advises not to rush things: "Do not take as a guide the frames read somewhere: how and when your child should start walking. And of course, put a filter on the conversations of other moms about how their children are developed and how early they started walking. " The main criterion for determining the time of the first step is ... the baby himself. Yes Yes! No common rules, rules and terms simply do not exist, because each child is unique and each has its own pace of development. "You do not need to teach a child to walk. Simply create a supportive environment, and the child will tell you when he is ready for a new stage of life ", - advises our consultant. Of course, many parents are also asking whether it is worth buying various devices that are designed to help the child begin to walk? Elena Shuvarina believes that the choice of such "devices" should be approached very thoughtfully and not take the time to buy: "For example, the question of using the walkers remains open. Many scientists believe that walkers do not stimulate, but hamper the development of the child: they have a bad influence on the development of the muscular corset, the vestibular apparatus, give a misconception about the position of the body in space. "So, we, the parents, can help our baby, who soon has to make his own the first steps in this land? Elena is sure that it is very useful to encourage active crawling, because this is an excellent exercise for the physical development of young children. And one more important point: before a child learns to walk, he, of course, more than once and not two will fall. Do not make tragedy out of falling, advises Elena Shuvarina: "They can not be avoided, and your fear and emotions will immediately be passed on to the child, and he will simply be afraid to walk alone. Believe in your children and be happy, because only a happy person can make their children happy! "More good advice from Elena Shuvarina on the site
