Demonstrate Crawling

 
Dad demonstrating crawling to baby
 

Don’t underestimate the power of demonstration, even at a young age. Baby’s are absorbing information from all around, and that includes watching you. 

If your baby is at the stage where they are able to get up onto their hands and knees, but they are not crawling forward, yet…

Try This: 

Get into hands and knees position and demonstrate rocking forward and backward and crawling. 

Encourage your baby to take a turn. You may be surprised by what they do!
