If your baby:

• 4-point crawls
• Crawls any other way than a 4-point crawl

______________________________________

Or...

• Needs support to crawl
• Falls to one side or forward often
• Can't crawl for more than a few seconds
• Seems stiff or collapses at the elbows

You're in the right place!

The baby is now moving through space, not just organizing within it. 

Movement becomes reciprocal - left and right sides alternate in a coordinated pattern. 

Weight shifts are no longer static. They are continuous and dynamic across al four points.

This is the first time movement beocomes truly directional and intentioinal.

The system is no longer learning how to organize. 

It is learning how to move forward 

If this stage is clear:

• The system is fluid
• The system is coordinated
• The system is mobile 

______________________________________

If this stage is missed or unclear:

• Movement may stay one-sided
• Coordination may break down under motion
• transitions become inefficient

This is the foundation for efficient locomotion, coordination accross the body, and futuer walking patterns

• "They'll figure it out on their own."
• "They just need more time."

______________________________________

Understand that...

• Crawling is a skill, not a position.
• It requires coordination, not just age.
