We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

My son crawled with one leg up and the other tucked underneath him...

Response to Crawling problem

 

it made the transition to sitting so much easier for him, and I think that is why he did it. We'd just about given up on him crawling anyway and were just working on walking, so we were thrilled with any kind. I thought he would progress to full quadraped, but he never did. He is three now, and sometimes he will still crawl to get something if it's close and he doesn't want to stand up and walk over to it - he's always gauging what is easiest LOL Sometimes he crawls on both knees, and sometimes he still crawls with that knee up It did make the one leg stronger, but, he still learned to walk just fine We tried and tried to get him to crawl on both knees and he fought it, so we got to the point that we just let him crawl how he wanted.

So - not much advice, but I think it is quite common for kids w/T21 to tweak their crawls - so you are not alone
