A month ago, Youyou's mother took Youyou to a German pediatrician for the seventh routine physical examination (U7). I asked the doctor, "Why sometimes Yo Yo runs with his knees bent inward instead of facing forward?"? Is there any problem that needs to be corrected? " The German doctor calmly replied: "It is a common phenomenon that the legs turn inward or outward when walking and running. Children are in the period of exploring their own bodies, so there is no need to worry. The crooked walking posture and leg shape will slowly adjust themselves with age. " Then the doctor went on to say, "If the temperature and environment permit, let the children play barefoot as much as possible, which can help adjust the leg shape and the posture of walking and running!"

In fact, Youyou's German pediatrician has reminded Youyou's mother about barefoot more than once. Before Youyou learned to walk, the doctor advised me not to wear shoes for Youyou, and to wear warm socks and Fusack when going out for a walk in winter. If family conditions permit, try to go barefoot. Even after the child can walk, wearing shoes all the time is unfavorable to the development of the child's feet and legs.

The foot bag matched with the children's stroller reduces the time of going out to wear shoes.

German kindergartens also encourage barefoot in summer.

Yo-yo mom is in my dream, too. Who says early education is forbidden in Germany? See what kindergarten classes German babies are attending! (0-3 years old), physical education class also encourages children to do sports barefoot. This is a common occurrence in Germany.

1 What are the disadvantages of wearing shoes?

The research published in The Foot magazine in 2007 shows that compared with the free development space of feet when barefoot is used, the structure and function of feet will change, because feet have to conform to the shape of shoes and are limited by space for a long time. The younger the child is, the greater the possibility of such injury. (preview: this involves how to choose the right shoes for children. Youyou Ma will talk about it in detail in the next article. It's not alarmist, but the incorrect way of wearing shoes will be serious enough to cause the child's foot deformity, ugly leg shape and ugly walking posture! )

Babies who can't walk don't need shoes, because shoes are useless to them. On the contrary, unsuitable shoes will harm the growth of baby's feet.

Children who can crawl and can't walk should not wear shoes. Wearing shoes will greatly hinder the baby's crawling exploration.

Children who are just learning to walk should not wear shoes at home, because in the case of barefoot, children's feet can better judge the ground situation, barefoot can better promote toe grip and body balance, so that babies can better adjust their bodies during toddlers. Walking barefoot can learn to walk faster than wearing shoes.

What are the advantages of walking barefoot?

Barefoot not only makes children feel free, but also exercises, strengthens and promotes the development of children's growing feet, ligaments, ankles, legs, knees and buttocks.

A follow-up study of children who have been barefoot for a long time shows that their toes grow straighter, they are more flexible when walking, their feet have greater bending strength and tighter plantar muscles, their hips have a wider range of motion, and their hamstring and gluteal muscles have higher flexibility. -and these are all necessary to form a natural and beautiful leg shape and walking posture!
