GM.A.59 GETS FROM SITTING TO CRAWL POSITION

The baby now has enough control to be able to stand with only 1 hand held. (Walking with 1 hand held comes later.)

How to Assess

Method: Place your chil­d in standing, held only by 1 hand. Score plus if your child can maintain this position.

How to Teach

All the work your baby has been doing up until now is used to enable her to perform this skill. If she is not able to do this, continue practising the earlier standing skills in this sequence.

Your baby must stand with straight hips (bottom in). If she is not able to do this, continue with earlier exercises.
