Some babies take longer than others to complete the stages of development. There are babies who begin to walk between 10 and 15 or 16 months. It is normal to understand parents who worry if their children are among those who delay the most. But the important thing to keep in mind is whether the baby crawls and can sit. In those cases, there should be no concern if the child is under 16 months. But if the baby does not crawl or finds it difficult to keep his head up when sitting, it is better to consult with the pediatrician or seek the help of a specialized physiotherapist.

If your child does not show ability in sports, it is possible that he may have difficulties controlling and moving his body and may need an evaluation of his development by a pediatric physiotherapist, preferably an expert in TMPI (Pediatric Integrative Manual Therapy) to facilitate activities. that a child should have, which are the ability to play and play with others with movement.

If your child has difficulty riding a bike, it could be a sign of developmental disorders. Specifically, aspects related to neck tension, vision problems, and balance. These are some of the most common signs in developmental disorders and can be very well treated and improved with the help of specialized physiotherapy.

The first thing you should keep in mind is that school is sometimes a hard place for children. They need movement and experience with their body and in many cases they have difficulty sitting still in a chair and in front of a table, receiving almost unique information through vision and hearing. Children with developmental difficulties, both in terms of controlling their body or in visual and auditory aspects, may have difficulty staying still and maintaining attention. And that, obviously, can affect their school results. When this occurs, it is very important not to use labels and seek help to understand how it works and help you by giving you the tools so that you can develop your full potential.

Going down the stairs is not as easy as it seems. One of the typical signs of coordination and development problems is the alternation of steps when doing so. In addition, vision has to clearly inform the volume of the steps and the space, which is also difficult for some children. In that case, you have to seek help to understand how the child functions and carry out an evaluation and intervention that will surely help a lot to achieve this.

If your 9-month-old daughter has difficulty crawling, an interesting aspect would be to observe if she moves in a particular way, for example, with one leg out, or if she lacks a little strength in her body. We may be able to do exercises to move her a lot more, dance with her in our arms, and do more movements, so she can gain strength. And also put ourselves on the floor with her and have the activities take place on the floor and not on a table. Also, try to get used to putting her face down on the floor and not sitting directly.

There is a saying that we professionals have: the baby carrier is for the children and the stroller is for the parents. It is a way of understanding that the stroller is an invention that gives a lot of comfort and makes the parents’ life easier, but it is not what the children need the most. This is true for babies, but be careful! …. If we are talking about a 3 year old child, he/she should absolutely be walking together with the parents. The stroller should disappear at about a year and a half, or maximum two years. The child should get used to walking. We can carry him in our arms from time to time, but he must walk hand in hand with the parents, getting used to walking is fundamental. Keeping a 3-year-old child in a stroller (or with a pacifier) greatly hinders its development. Out of ignorance, sometimes, we do it without realizing the consequences.

The quality of a child’s handwriting in their writing is something that is showing us what their development is and what control of their body and hands is. It can even be a sign of neck problems and visual problems. Good handwriting is the result of the habit of writing and also of the child’s maturation and the good development of his systems. We have to try to see how the child is building his development. We must be attentive to whether the neck had any limitations or torticollis when he was a baby and, in some cases, a more in-depth evaluation is recommended.
