I can't find actual scientific studies on the web Tom Send a noteboard - 25/04/2012 09:56:14 PM
I do find statements all over the place like this on parenting sites, though:

Crawling builds on all of the earlier skills of developmental movement. The diagonal movements of crawling and spiral turns show us the action of nerve fibers crossing over between the right brain and left brain. These connections linking the cerebral cortex are vital for language, reading, writing and math. Good communication between the brain hemispheres is essential to all problem solving and complex thinking such as sciences and creative work. Ability to see the whole and the part, and all their relationships, is developed through crawling.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Really, before 18 months you're wasting your time Tom - 20/04/2012 01:26:05 AM 1353 Views
I dunno. I really enjoyed books when I was that young LadyLorraine - 20/04/2012 03:12:29 AM 1381 Views
At a year and a half? Nate - 20/04/2012 06:18:01 PM 1162 Views
I don't remember reading quite that young, but I do remember not long after that. LadyLorraine - 20/04/2012 09:35:11 PM 1350 Views
Color me slightly skeptical. Tom - 21/04/2012 01:17:51 PM 1224 Views
my mother spent over 20 years classroom teaching, is an Ed.D... LadyLorraine - 21/04/2012 10:40:56 PM 1575 Views
So did my mother. Elementary school teacher from 1960-1990. Tom - 22/04/2012 05:24:44 PM 1173 Views
I double checked. I was confusing it with another event. I was about 2.5 *NM* LadyLorraine - 22/04/2012 12:19:09 AM 753 Views
That sounds about right. *NM* Tom - 22/04/2012 05:20:35 PM 614 Views

Doesn't need to be an extended period of time, though. A few minutes is enough at the beginning. Rebekah - 23/04/2012 12:42:23 PM 1447 Views
No problem, if you just want to flush money down a toilet. Tom - 23/04/2012 02:29:57 PM 1139 Views

Look, it's useless to discuss at this point but let's have the discussion again in 2 years. Tom - 23/04/2012 04:39:47 PM 1551 Views

anyone who thinks an infant sleeping on its stomach is dangerous is behind the times. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2012 01:51:59 PM 1443 Views
Yes, the SIDS indicia are all over the place. Tom - 26/04/2012 02:29:15 PM 1206 Views
If there was a big ad campaign in the UK about this then no-one told my medical team. Rebekah - 26/04/2012 07:40:48 PM 1272 Views
Hmmm. *shrug* I don't know. I trust this professor to have his facts straight. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2012 08:01:53 PM 1301 Views
Possible answer is difference between Scottish and English health systems. Rebekah - 26/04/2012 08:28:38 PM 1200 Views
weird. maybe trends have swung back the other way. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2012 10:01:01 PM 1282 Views
I hope you don't have it mixed up... Vivien - 26/04/2012 10:18:00 PM 1315 Views

I understand where you're coming from LadyLorraine - 26/04/2012 04:50:46 PM 1534 Views
