    It's easy to crawl on a smooth surface, but much harder on a slightly rough. It is most difficult to crawl on a very rough surface. To speed up the transition to crawling on all fours, Doman advises gradually to change the surface on which the baby crawls. So, you need to do the following.

    Change the surface relief. If before the kid moved, for example, on linoleum or a smooth parquet, now move your slider to a short-haired carpet. The child will find that crawling on the stomach is already difficult, so it is much more convenient to rely mainly on the hands and feet, not on the stomach. Soon he will learn this and begin to crawl over the rough surface faster and further than he did, crawling along the smooth one.

    Since your task is to provide the baby with a quick transition to the next level of brain development, give him to crawl an even rougher surface, for example a carpet with a thicker pile. So, we put it on such a carpet. He discovers that crawling with the face is quite difficult, since the stomach is strongly clinging to the fleecy surface. If the child is physically ready for this, he will begin to crawl, carrying the main weight from the abdomen to the arms and legs.

    • Many believe that crawling is an optional phase in the development of baby movements. There are children who do without it. Glen Doman argued that if a kid passes the stage of crawling - this indicates that he lacks physical activity, motor activity. In his opinion, crawling is a very important moment in the development of the child, including in the development of his intellect.

    • During crawling, hands develop and grow, it is good gymnastics for comprehensive training of the child and perfect preparation for future walking.

    • The earlier a child learns to crawl, the faster he can independently overcome the distances available to him, explore the surrounding world, learn new things and develop.

    At some point, the baby crawling on the belly makes its first discovery. He discovers that he is able to stand on all fours and move forward without touching the floor with his belly. This is a new stage in development! Crawling on the stomach can be called a movement for the sake of the movement itself, while crawling on all fours is already a purposeful activity.

    Getting on all fours, the baby will first start to slope back and forth and right-left, and sometimes even fall. Do not worry - this is normal for a beginner slider, besides a thick and fleecy carpet will soften the falls, and the child will repeat his attempts again and again.

    It's time to reconsider the baby's wardrobe. Now he will need socks and long panties, otherwise the knees will suffer.

    If the baby was able to get on all fours and repeats this action regularly, it means that he moved on to the next stage of development.

    • All children crawl in different ways. The classic option is to crawl, leaning on the floor with six dots: hands, knees and toes. The most difficult way is on all fours, that is, without touching the floor with your knees. This method allows you to move much faster, but it requires more agility, strength, stamina. So, according to the authors of the system, only mobile, strong children crawl with good coordination of movements and the ability to navigate safely and quickly in space.

    After the child learns the position of crawling on all fours, he will begin to actively exercise in such a crawl. Sometimes it looks comical: the baby grunts, often loses balance and even returns to crawling on his stomach when he wants to get somewhere "right now".But, despite this, he returns to attempts to crawl on all fours and sooner or later he will begin to creep in this way from 30 to 60 cm.

    Remember that the floor on which the child crawls should still remain clean, warm and safe.

    In this case, the concept of "security" includes one very important thing. Your child's motor skills are developing. As you do this, you will have to remove from it those objects and types of furniture that have not too much stability. Your child's skills are growing every day, so you have to "lock up all hatches" in which he can fail, and remove all the shaky objects that have the insidious property of falling, it's worth to touch them. Especially it concerns table lamps. In addition, take care of the safety of stairs.

    So, you have provided the baby with everything you need to develop further.

    At this stage it is very important for the child to have "space for wandering".He already knows how to get to the items he needs, and now he needs to learn how to get to the right place. Mobility is a means of transportation. Your child is now learning that mobility is all around. And he has new obstacles and problems that need to be learned to solve.

    Here the baby crawls to the wall and discovers that now he needs to learn how to turn around. He crawls into a corner, and he will need to dodge to the side. Even creep across the threshold into the next room will seem to the crumb an uneasy task. Do not rush to help, push, reschedule. Give the little man the opportunity to conquer this world!

    Properly dressing the child and giving him a suitable room for crawling, give him the opportunity to satisfy his natural curiosity. To stimulate his thirst for knowledge, leave various interesting objects in the remote corners of the room, and as he begins to creep through larger distances, in other rooms. You will quickly understand what exactly your baby likes and why he will "chase" - it can be balls, clockwork toys and even a pet.

    So far your child has learned so cleverly, skillfully, quickly and confidently to crawl that now no surface will bother him. Thanks to this, the development of his middle brain has reached its highest point. He is already tearing his eyes from the floor and looking around thoughtfully, with concern. Creeping to the sofa, he puts his hands on the seat and tries to get up. The period of crawling on all fours came to an end, and now it is no longer possible to hold it down.
