The child does nothing for nothing.

Surely you had such that the child repeated the same action many times. For example, he climbed on a chest of drawers or on a Swedish wall, substituted a chair and climbed onto it. The story is that if a child does something motor, it is a needful thing. Children are very sensitive to what heals them. And we feel the same. Someone walks when they think. Someone is doing other motor reinforcing actions.

The child wants to tell you with his motor skills - this is what he needs now and helps to cope with the problem, helps to develop. Don't prohibit. Throw in the trash your idea of ​​how right, how wrong, how it should, how not.

And if a child does something not by chance, but constantly, constantly repeating, then this needs to be strengthened so that he is quickly satiated. If you want him to finish it quickly.

Therefore, children, for example, begin to walk on curbs. And walking on curbs provides writing at the table. Everything in this case is interconnected. And a child who does certain things saturates his need.

Recently I had a young "girl" who constantly walked up the stairs. And putting the foot forward, and even on the stairs, and also high ... A child to walk up the middle stairs on which we walk is like climbing onto a chair. Whether you want it or not, the pelvis moves out, and the child feels it. It turned out that she really had an inverted pelvis. Walking up the stairs helps fix that.

Do nothing, watch for safety. This is a tool you can take. Instead of coming up with some unique, magical, furious individual ways, approaches to the child. He himself knows what he needs. Therefore, the most important thing you can do is give time and allow your child to make mistakes. An insane amount of mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, repetitions.
