How to deal with the child at home, and how to teach him to pull himself up on the bar
If the baby is very small, then an adult shouldcarefully insure the baby so that he does not get scared and does not refuse to continue training. In this case, practice hanging until the child gets the hang of it. Older children are already trying to pull themselves up and feel perfectly well when it is not worth taking risks. But observation and wise advice from an elder will not be superfluous. It is good if there are older children in the family. Then the question of how to teach pull-ups disappears. The baby will copy the elders and his progress will not be long in coming. However, when practicing or observing the child, be sure to explain to him the importance of the correct grip: the thumb is opposed to the other four. This gives the necessary uniform load to the muscles of the hands, forms a beautiful posture. Another important point is getting off the horizontal bar. You can’t jump off it abruptly yet, which can cause displacement of the vertebrae. You need to smoothly get off your toes. Having mastered the basics, you can do pull-ups, which will dress the spine in a corset of muscles and bring invaluable benefits to health. Horizontal bar exercises are good for your child's physical and mental health.
