The roller coaster, also known as the children's balance bike, is a kind of cycling bicycle to exercise children's balance ability. Compared with a bicycle, a balanced car lacks pedals, chains and auxiliary wheels. It looks like a "bicycle without pedals".
How can parents guide their children to learn balance cars?
1. Adjust the height
Adjust the height of the seat cushion to a position suitable for the child, with the knee bending of about 135 degrees.
2. Wear helmet and protective equipment
The strap of the helmet shall be tied to the chin, one finger away from the throat, and the connection (red dot) shall be adjusted to one finger under the ear. Knee pads and elbow pads shall also be properly worn, or the strap can be directly stuck
3. Hold the handle
Hold the middle of the handle, and parents should remind the baby to prevent the baby from holding the middle or both sides for fun, otherwise the car will be difficult to control
4. Sit tight
Stand on the side, hold the handle, and lift your legs back to get on the car
Note that the buttocks should be in the middle of the cushion. Some babies like to sit in front or behind, which is a dangerous behavior. When they bump and fall, they are likely to cause secondary injuries due to incorrect sitting posture.
5. Walk slowly
At first, due to prudence, fear, unfamiliarity, and lack of balance, the child may not want to step up, but only slowly push the cart.
Or just stand and walk slowly after stepping up, and even refuse to sit on the cushion
This is a normal situation, and the duration of this stage varies from person to person. Some babies may give up after a long deadlock in this stage without realizing the interest. At this time, as long as parents give more patience and encouragement to the baby, it is better to have peers play incentive games together, and the baby will become familiar with cars gradually.
It's like making friends. When the child is familiar with the car, he can sit up and walk around with confidence and make rapid progress.
那么家長如何指導孩子學習平衡車呢?
1、調好高度
把坐墊高度調整至適合孩子的位置,以膝蓋的彎曲度約135度為宜。
2、佩戴好頭盔護具
頭盔的帶子綁在下顎處,離喉部一指,連接處(紅點)調到耳下一指,護膝和護肘也要佩戴妥當,也可直接綁帶粘住
3、握把手
要握住把手正中間,家長要提醒寶寶,防止寶寶出于好玩去握中間或兩邊,否則車頭將難以控制
4、坐好
站在側邊,握住把手,向后抬腿上車
注意,屁股要坐到坐墊正中間,有些寶寶喜歡坐前面或者坐后面,都是比較危險的行為,在磕碰摔跤時很可能因為坐姿不對造成二次傷害。
5、慢慢走
剛開始由于謹慎,害怕,不熟悉,平衡力不足,孩子可能不愿跨上去,只肯慢慢推車。
或是跨上去后就只是站著慢慢走,甚至屁股都不肯坐在坐墊上
這是正常情況,而且這一階段持續的時間因人而異,有些寶寶可能在這一階段僵持久了沒有體會到趣味性,就放棄了。這時候家長只要多給寶寶一點耐心,多給一點鼓勵,最好再有同齡人一起玩激勵激勵,慢慢的寶寶就會熟悉車車了。
就像交朋友,等孩子和車熟悉了,稍微加一點引導孩子就放心地坐上去走動,快速進步了。
