To perform this tip, help the child in assume a crawling position. Use a towel or a sheet and place it on the the child’s upper chest. Hold the ends of the towel as shown in this video and gently shift the child’s body weight from side to side.
Place your legs closer to the child’s legs to prevent them from assuming a frog position. Assist with reciprocal movement while advancing forward. Repeat as needed until the child doesn’t need support.
