In case anyone tells you crawling is not that important,

check out the above link.

I remember crawling being important from some research

I did years ago when I was home schooling.

Large motor development skills are important for

learning to do many things, including reading and

writing later.

I had read about one teacher who had a student do

marching exercises to improve his reading. She had

very good success with this, nearly immediately.

Exercise continues throughout a child's life, at

least, to be good for their learning skills, and

many great and creative people got their ideas,

and did their best thinking, while walking.

So, don't be misled about the importance of crawling.

If a child does not do this on his own, he may still

do so as a therapy type of exercise later, but sooner

is better for their development.
