Many friends ask me questions about children walking. For example: children walk late, children have O-legs or X-legs, children walk with eight characters inside and eight characters outside, children walk with pads, children walk badly, children fall easily when walking, children can't jump, they can't jump high, and so on.
Children learning to walk are two principles that parents must master. For the vast majority of babies, actually learning to walk does not require deliberate training, but some deliberate training is harmful. For example, it is not recommended to use a walker, or even to walk with children. Walking is a natural thing for children who have no problems in raising their heads, turning over, crawling and standing alone. On the basis of good protection, don't be too involved and fully encourage.
Some parents will ask their children how to walk, how to walk with their feet always on, just like ballet. There are indeed many children who have this situation, generally because the baby has been curled up in the mother's womb 10 months, legs and feet folded, and the achilles tendon and muscles have not been fully stretched. Generally, it will gradually improve with the increase of walking activities.
If you still walk like this after two years old, accompanied by some behavioral abnormalities (such as indifference, increased or decreased muscle tone) or developmental retardation, you need to go to the hospital.
What happened to the baby learning to walk? Most of them are caused by physiological factors. For example, children need an external eight-character gait to maintain balance, and it usually takes one to two years to gradually improve due to the contracture of the external rotator, the thick fat pad on the soles of children's feet, insufficient muscle strength or poor ligament stability.
Most of the children's horoscopes need to wait, but in fact most of the reasons are biological. For example, children with femoral pronation and tibial pronation will get better at about two years old, and some children need 8- 10 years old to get better gradually. At the same time, some studies believe that children's sitting posture or kneeling posture will aggravate the performance of the inner eight characters. Therefore, children are generally advised to sit cross-legged.
