    For any parent watching this, potentially panicking because their child simply won't crawl, but insists on going straight to walkning - don't panic. Walking is also a cross-lateral movement and so far, there is no convincing research suggesting that people who didn't crawl as children, perform significantly worse in any of the mentioned fields in their grownup years.

    Hello Ms. Bridget Teyler, thank you for sharing this. I am one of the many who benefit from the knowledge and expertise you share. I hope you will have time to read my comment. My son is almost 13 months old. He doesn't like crawling too much. I don't remember seeing him crawling that much. When he goes for a toy which few feet away, he would crawl on fours halfway there and then would attempt to stand up and walk toward it. I am worried that he might be skipping a very important skill as you mentioned at the beginning of your video. I will do the activities you recommended. Please advise...also, can my son's going straight to walking be linked to hyperactivity?

    My oldest hated tummy time and would scream if we put her in that position. We finally took her to a chiropractor who adjusted her hip when she was around 11 months old. She stopped screaming in the tummy time position and finally learned to crawl at 1 yr. Since then all of my kids get checked as newborns by an amazing chiropractor who specializes in kids :)

      @BiellasPointofView he is doing amazing!! He turned a year old yesterday! He strictly army crawled until about 11.5 months (and didnt learn how to army crawl until about 10 months old) and then he figured out how to crawl on all fours, pull himself up on the couch to stand, gets onto the furniture and even cruises along it real fast all in the last month! He actually was pulling to stand before he figured out how to crawl on all fours and he still favors army crawling but does standard crawl when he wants to. If I could go back I'd tell myself not to worry for sure! ❤️ your baby is going kick butt too 🥰

I was afraid of cereal palsy since he only used his right side at first. But once they get going they really take off!
