1. Running hand in hand: You and your baby face to face, holding his two hands, you slowly run backwards; then run backwards holding only one of his hands; finally, you hold one of his hands from the side, use a ball to roll forward, and chase the ball together.

2. Let go and run: When the baby runs forward, you jog backward half a meter in front of him to prevent him from falling when he leans forward due to top-heavyness.

3. Automatically stop and run steadily: The baby has learned to run when he can automatically slow down and stop steadily while running. You can use the commands "one, two, three, stop" when your baby is running, so that he can learn to gradually straighten his body, slow down his steps and stop steadily.
