[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD was exactly the same and she qualified for services for early intervention. Not sitting well at this age is huge missed milestone and also not crawling for a school of thought in child development. [/quote] Crawling isn't even considered a developmental milestone by many pediatricians. [/quote] There is now some research that suggests that crawling is important for brain development. When my DC was in EI, they stressed the imperative of crawling.[/quote] There is also research that shows crawling is important for fine motor development.[/quote] But correlation is not causation. There's no evidence to suggest that "making" or even encouraging a child to crawl will have any benefit. FWIW, mine never crawled because she walked at 8 months. And continues to be ahead in all areas of gross and fine motor development, including the things correlated to crawling. [/quote]
