Mom and dad, today we want to introduce you to a special world.
The world of the sporty baby, eager to climb everything and venture into this fascinating universe that he entered a short time ago.
"How can everything escalate?" you may ask. Yes, aren't you used to your baby making his way on foot, exploring with his hands everything he finds around the house? How, are you not used to testing everything you can see around you?
We think you will enjoy this process, right?
How pleasant is it to follow him now, so small and funny, passing with his body everywhere, without caring what he finds in his way? You know, it's as if we adults are moving towards our dream, overcoming every obstacle that life puts in our way.
But let's get back to ours!
Today we propose to talk about the babies about to make their debut in the world of sports!

We talk together about an event that won the hearts of many parents and babies in the world and then we learn to create our own, right in the living room at home.
The World Crawling Championships are known in the world as the " Baby Olympics ".
Crawling Cup. A funny story from the world of sports babies
Yes, you must have laughed, but it is as true as it can be! We are talking about the children's Olympic Games, which are fun, but which help them develop their physical and motor skills, and not only that.
In addition, think that from a young age they assimilate the value of daily movement and later integrate it into healthy life habits! Isn't that what we parents want? Isn't that what you want too?
And yes, you can enroll the little one in such an Olympiad. There are several sports, but crawling races ( walking on 4 paws) between babies are famous, especially in some countries, such as Japan. 
What would it be like to enter him in the World Crawling Olympics?
You know, those races in which babies compete, motivated by parents who wave toys, cookies or anything else that attracts their attention, so that they reach the route faster. This is what we learned from topendsports.com.
Did you know that these crawling races date back to the 40s? You see, the babies have been competing with each other for a long time, but I'll tell you a secret and you promise to keep it between us, okay? The little ones don't know that they are competing with other babies! They are just waiting to reach the toys in your hands!
I propose to go back in time for 1 minute and tell you that starting from 1946 to 1955, the National Institute of Diaper Services USA organized every year crawling races for babies (also called "diaper derbies").
They stopped for a while, but they came back.
And to give you an example, babies from Japan are famous for these races, and those from Lithuania "run" on their birthday, on June 1, every year. Probably get huge rewards with lots of toys. Don't you think so too?
But you know what the best part is? Like cute babies, they turn the world upside down and leave their mark even on the Book of Records. Yes. You read well.
We scour the internet and find out that 601 babies from Japan, aged between six and 16 months, went to bed somewhere around November 2015 in a shopping center in the city of Yokohama, on the outskirts of Tokyo.
They set a Guinness World Record by participating in the biggest baby competition in the world.
Imagine that your baby, who hasn't even started walking, ends up in the Book of Records. How would that be?
From the quickness of the "speeding zebra" to the "Wacky Wiggle", your baby can leave you speechless with his creative way of moving.
We say get ready for an avalanche of laughter and joy, an epic confrontation of the babies - we guarantee it will brighten your day, and who knows how many others after!
No, don't hesitate, because walking the bus is very important to them
It has been shown to help strengthen the arms, hands and fingers.
In addition, the muscles that develop in this way are important for good posture, for handwriting and even for athletics!
What other benefits does their playful gait have?
It also stimulates their brain.
It is a movement that requires both hemispheres of the brain. Cognitive processes such as understanding, concentration and memory begin to form.
There are even studies that have shown that due to daily walking, better academic performance was found later in life.
Improves vision
Yes. Trying to conquer the world - in fact the floor -, the little ones help themselves without realizing it, developing the ability to look close, but also far at the same time.
Think that when he crawls, he has to look down at his hands, while looking at his destination in the distance.
Learn to solve problems
He learns how to get from point A to point B, explores by crawling to get a toy he wants.
Let's not talk about the fact that this is a step before walking
They develop their physical strength and balance in the central area, arms and legs, necessary when they are ready to walk.
Who would have thought that their walking is so important?
Okay, but how do you motivate him to do this more often?
How do you encourage him to go to the bathroom more often?
You know, you can do it in turn :) or together. You will have a lot of fun, if you haven't already.
Well, before we prepare the marching band, which will introduce you to a world where children clatter while fighting to win the big trophy, let's see how you encourage them to do so! You just don't want him to be last at the Olympics, do you?
Are you ready? What about babies?
First of all, check if the baby is ready. Most babies will reach this walking stage between 6-10 months, although sometimes it can take a little longer.
Hey, make room, please!
Remove obstacles. If the floor is smooth, do not put slippery clothes on it. You can also put leggings with anti-slip knee pads.
Tummy time!
You know those moments when they sit on their stomachs? Not everyone prefers this, so it would be good to create a fun environment for him to be motivated. Sit down and play with him.
The time he sits on his stomach strengthens his arms and neck. Pediatricians recommend placing babies on their stomachs 2-3 times a day, for 5 minutes each and increasing gradually with age.
What if you created a tunnel?
A tunnel can motivate him to venture out. It is like a gate to the unknown and as we know the little ones are very curious.
So either you buy a fairly long tunnel or you create it from chairs, beds, blankets to lay over!
And at the end, place his favorite toy and encourage him to move through the tunnel towards you to receive the toy.
Take turns, mommy and daddy! It will be a pleasure for him to observe you both.

Maximum enthusiasm!
Use words that encourage him, but also a pleasant voice that inspires firmness, confidence and joy.
Your tone, that of the parents, is the main factor that motivates him. It is important for him to know that he has support.
Now, let's move on to the competition tests, because that's where we want to get.
Let's imagine that the baby is taking the competition tests
Here we are in the middle of the action, on those tracks in the living room, specially set up for the Crawling Cup challenges!
- The first test is the "March to Pampers" - challenges the little ones to a speed race from one end of the living room to the other, while you shout and encourage from the sidelines, with your hands clasped and the camera ready.
- The "obstacle course" is the time when he passes over the toys, but also over other obstacles, such as your slippers. Well, nothing can stop the little athlete!
- And to prove that they are real fighters, we also have the " Diaper Stop Race" , where your little one has to overcome all the barriers in his way, including the wet and unexpected ones. You know what we are talking about.
How about equipment and rules?
Equip your baby properly: diapers and comfortable clothes.
Know that the rules are clear. Or do you think that maybe you still cheat? No! Fair play and maximum fun!
The atmosphere is full of joy! Scream, dance and support your champion. The image of you, mommy and daddy, running with a Mickey Mouse toy on their head, for example, is a great opportunity to amuse you.
We have also arrived at the time of the awards, so much expected
And now, the moment you are all waiting for: the awards!
Reward the little champion with shiny impromptu medals while he basks in his triumph with innocent smiles.
And thus, we conclude this energetic adventure.
To return to the World Crawling Championship proved that it is never too early to get involved in sports and fun, and the special bond between parents and babies is strengthened through this unique experience.
So, dear parents and little champions, get ready for the next edition of the World Crawling Championships or for a new adventure in your living room, because the fun has just begun!
