Long being in a wheelchair prevents children to explore the world.
Experts warn that too frequent and prolonged use of strollers and seats can cause considerable damage to the health of the baby. The thing is that in this way parents reduce the time they can spend productively, interacting with children and giving them the opportunity to explore freely the world.
The consequences of such a sedentary and constrained lifestyle from infancy can lead to impaired attention, difficulty balance, coordination skills, as well as reduced performance in school and future adult life, says neuropsychologist Sally Goddard Blythe, Sally Goddard Blythe). “The child develops their attention skills of balance and coordination during the first 36 months of life, which is very important for later cognitive learning. Therefore infants should have the opportunity for free movement and exploration,” says Sally Goddard Blythe.
She also adds that social interaction, such as singing, talking or even just eye contact, it helps the physical development of the child.
