creeping/ crawling distances..

here is a C&C goals for 3-4yo healthy kids.. usually they say to do these for 90 days..

"We don't know the answer to when the benefits start. Some children need a little bit, some need a lot. MyDS has crept many hundred of miles &we still don't have convergence. Some children only creep 3 or 4 months and have great convergence (those are the ones who can hit a curve ball going 90 miles an hour). We have both kinds in my family. How much your child needs is undetermined. The 90 days thing is just for insurance. That's when they are doing GREAT. (You pay your car insurance even if you haven't had a wreck yet.)"

So, with that in mind here, i have printed out the suggested goals & my target at this time is start the process and encourage the kids to do it.. i'll have to be creative in where else i'm we can do this to keep them motivated.. i don't know how to do tables on the blog yet..so i'll just copy the info i have in a paragraph form:

Crawling:
· Distance to be covered initially is 50 meters, type of surface: smooth, flat surface like masonite, linoleum (or my favorite plastic over carpet strips).
· Type of footwear: bare feet or sneakers with rubber toes,
· Type of clothing: T-shirt and shorts (knee pads and elbow, if needed),
· Track: a measured distance in and out of the house but as long as possible,
· Awards: post daily goals and the award for accomplishing them,
· Lapcounter, have a checklist to count laps.

Goals, in 3 weeks: 350 meters daily with 50 meters nonstop,
in 6 months 400 meters daily: 100 meters nonstop

Bi-Weekly schedule for goals. Each day you should increase the distance your child crawls until he has built up to the next goal in two weeks time.

Week 1 - 5 meters each session, 10x/day = 50 meters total
Week 2 - 15 meters, 10x/day = 150 meters
Week 5 - 25 meters, 8xday
Week 7 - 35 meters, 8xday
Week 9 - 45 meters, 7xday
Week 11 - 50 meters, 7xday
Week 13 - 60 meters, 6 xday
Week 15 - 75 meters, 5 xday
Week 17 - 80 meters 5 xday
Week 20 - 90 meters 4x day + 1x40 meters
Week 22 - 100 meters 4 x day
