An interesting Norwegian study has just revealed that crawling, the first form of human displacement, starts once the baby's brain is able to detect and overcome obstacles.
While some children skip this phase of displacement to stand up straight, crawling is very important for their psychomotor development, so it is important to stimulate and not force the baby to stand up early.
Around eight months (some before, others later) the baby starts the crawling to reach objects, but only when he is ready for it, when his neural networks are ready to detect possible collisions.
That is why it is not convenient to compare that Fulanita's baby began to crawl long before yours. Each baby has its own growth and maturation rate. Your child will do it when his body and brain are prepared to crawl safely.
To conduct the study, the scientists measured the brain activity of children between five and eleven months when a multicolored dot was approaching them on a screen, simulating an object about to collide.
They discovered that older babies, those aged ten and eleven months were able to process the information much faster than small babies between five and seven months.
It is between eight and nine months when they are forged the neural networks that identify the danger of collision with the various objects, precisely the age at which babies begin to experience mobility.
