– The instagram reel a video compilation of babies exhibiting various unconventional crawling styles, highlighting the diversity in early motor development and challenging the notion of a “typical” crawling pattern, which is supported by research from the American Academy of Pediatrics indicating that not all infants crawl in the traditional manner. – This phenomenon can be linked to neurodiversity, where children may develop unique movement patterns due to differences in brain function, as discussed in a 2023 GoodRx article that explains how neurodivergence, including conditions like autism and ADHD, can manifest in varied physical behaviors, suggesting that such crawling styles might be early indicators of neurodivergent traits. – The video’s portrayal of diverse crawling methods aligns with developmental psychology findings from ZERO TO THREE, which emphasize that babies often use asymmetrical or unilateral movements (e.g., pushing off with one arm or dragging one side).
