How to train children's balance ability

Many young children now have very poor balance ability. This phenomenon makes us parents very worried. They are afraid that their children will have unbalanced walking when they grow up, so we have been looking for positive and effective methods for treatment. Maybe you don’t have a clear understanding of how to train children’s balance ability. Let us learn about the methods to train children’s balance ability.

1. Balance of mind

Maintaining balance is not just a physical thing, it's also about all the senses in your brain. Every time your baby raises his little head, the brain evaluates and responds to the stimulus, and the role of the nerves in this process cannot be underestimated.

When a person is born, he or she has more than 100 million nerve cells, but these nerve cells can only function when they are connected to each other. Much of the sensory stimulation children receive in their early years is obtained through their balance organs, which stimulate the connection between nerve cells and promote blood flow to the brain. The connections between nerves are very complex, and the constantly connected nerves enable information to be transmitted to the brain faster and more accurately. A sense of orientation, the ability to concentrate and determine direction are all abilities that children need when engaging in other mental or physical work. For example, when children are looking at a clock, we can ask them where the long hand is and where the short hand is, on the left? On the right? On the top? On the bottom? For another example, when children are recognizing letters, they can distinguish between "M" and "W". This means that when children cannot distinguish similar letters or words, parents should consider whether this is a problem of reading or a problem of needing more development of the sense of balance. If a child's balance organ is stimulated frequently, his brain will be particularly sensitive. On the contrary, years of research have found that children with poor vision, hearing and sense of balance also have delayed intellectual development.

2. Balance in Activities

Based on the above understanding of balance, we will want to know how to keep children's six senses closely coordinated and sensitive. The answer is simple: activity. Activities are the nourishment for cultivating children's sense of balance. Healthy children have a natural need for activity, and they will spontaneously stimulate the vestibular system in their brains. For example, they will suddenly stop while spinning and feel dizzy. They also like to swing and jump. Unfortunately, today's children live in a "sedentary society" and their desire for movement and rotation is suppressed at an early age. Children's laughter and noise are seen by adults as a disturbance of quiet. The child's sense of balance, acute perception of gravity, and other senses become dulled.

The above content introduces us to methods of training children's balance ability. We can use the above methods to help our children achieve the purpose of exercising balance. It can help our mothers solve the distress caused by children's imbalance problems as soon as possible. We also hope that everyone’s children can recover their health as soon as possible.
