At five months, she gained control of her upper body, sit up on her own and increased mobility; Now she needed to strengthen the muscles and to learn stand up.
Working as her trainer, I figured that the best activity to build her standing muscles was holding her in front of me so that she could stand up and then down. (while I was smiling, talking, singing and making funny faces).
I began with one set of twenty repetitions during the first week, and then I increased the sets five times during the next week.
“Even a low-class warrior can surpass an elite, with enough hard work.”
She gained strength to carry her body weight, healthy ankles, hips, and an increasingly mature sense of balance.
Her crib was the perfect area for practicing. She first began to stand by pulling herself up in her crib. It was the Ideal height and was easy for her to hold onto. I was constantly cheering her up to keep her holding and staying on the railing.
“Motivation can’t take you very far if you don’t have the legs.”
I gave her plenty of time each day to explore and develop her skills on her own, so she became more interested in hitting the walking milestone.
