Slow children know cows often learn poorly at school

Babies who haven't crawled at 9 months of age face the risk of being left behind at school and having trouble catching up with their classmates, a study has just revealed.

The study confirms that children who are slow to perform important milestones such as standing up or crawling are related to behavioral problems and learning ability.

The finding was found in the University of London's Millennium Cohort study - tracking over 18,000 children in the first five years of their lives, from 2000 to 2001.

The research team said the "slow" development affects about 10% of children.

Specifically, babies who are difficult to perform skills - such as standing up without help, crawling, walking or performing small movements like holding objects, moving objects from one hand to the other, holding objects with forefinger and thumb - there is a high risk of being left behind in school at age 5.

These children are also more likely to have lack of sociable behaviors such as refusing to share, DailyMail said.

Professor Ingrid Schoon, the leader of the research team, thinks children grow at different speeds, and in some cases it doesn't matter if they're slow to sit or crawl because they will catch up with other friends. . However, in many other cases, this problem may indicate that the child needs special assistance.
