Many parents have such worries: the baby is small, so he always takes off his socks when he wears socks, and strolls around barefoot. Summer is fine, what should I do in winter? The feet of children over one year old grow very fast, and by the age of three, the soles of their feet can reach half of their adult length. There has been controversy over the issue of infant crawling and walking barefoot:

One thinks that “coldness is born from the feet.” The bones of the child’s feet are cartilage, very delicate, and there are many blood vessels and nerves connected to other organs in the foot. Cold, damage and infection of the feet can have a great impact on the health of the child, so it is recommended to give the child’s foot Footwear and socks are essential for keeping warm, hygienic and adequate care.

Another view is that babies between 1 and 2 years old are mainly crawling to toddler stage. This period is the key period for the formation of the baby’s arch. Barefoot touching the ground can directly feel the nerve endings of the child’s sole. The ground helps the coordination of walking posture, enhances balance and flexibility, and can promote the healthy development of the arches and stabilize the joints, and prevent the occurrence of problems such as valgus and flat feet. Bare feet on the ground can play a role in plantar acupuncture points. , Can also improve the baby’s immunity.

I think that children’s behavior is instinctive, they don’t like restraint, they like to touch things personally, such as walking on the ground with bare feet; from the child’s physical development, if conditions permit, they will definitely agree with the second point of view. Walking barefoot helps to coordinate and correct walking posture, enhance balance and flexibility; and if the floor of the home is messy, it is easier to breed bacteria in humid areas. Children who do not know how to pay attention to these problems will pass through the bacteria they have touched. If the hand is passed to the mouth (children love to lick their fingers), it is easy to get sick, and eventually they will have to go to the hospital. Therefore, if the family conditions are not so good, you can choose a pair of good quality and moderate thickness socks for your children, so that your children can not only touch the ground, but also protect them from cold or viruses.
