My daughter just turned 7 months old yesterday. She has been pulling herself to stand for about 3 weeks now, whenever she is on the floor or in her crib she is standing. She has just began trying to "cruise". She never really crawled. She did get on her fours and rock back and forth. To get around she usually sits herself up from her tummy, puts her hand out, lets herself fall, scootches, and then gets up again and so on. This is just how she has always got around for about 2 months now. Anyway, I was talking with my mom telling her that she is attempting to cruise, when my mom said that it was bad if she never crawled. She said that babies that never crawl are not good readers later on in life. She claims there have been studies proving this theroy. I was wondering what everyone else thinks on this matter? I think its false, I don't see how crawling has anything to do with reading. What do you think?
