I completely agree w/Kathrynk's post.....I too NEVER crawled - I rolled everywhere
, and my mom was really concerned that i had no interest in crawling as she had heard the same thing - however I was walking at 9.5 months
, speaking in complete sentences at 14 months, and reading very very early. I also skipped a grade in elementary school and am an avid reader. I was extremely active in sports and achieved both academic and athletic success in college.
Now that you have my resume'....lol...
I too don't want to debunk any medical studies with just my own humble experience. I'm sure there are circumstances that do link delayed crawling/no crawling and reading - but seriously my mother would roar w/laughter at that as reading was and is such a HUGE part of my life.
Very Interesting though!
