AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cruising begins with small side-to-side steps while holding onto a fixed object for support. As they feel more balanced on their feet, they slowly take wider steps, rely less on support, and rotate their trunk to turn and look around.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term ‘baby cruising’ is used to describe the stage between crawling or ‘bottom shuffling’ and walking independently. A baby is ‘cruising’ when they walk holding onto furniture, like a sofa or coffee table.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Cruising” describes a baby walking while holding onto objects. They might use the coffee table to move around or lean from one object to another to work the room. This shows that your tiny sport is learning how to shift weight and balance while taking steps.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cruising is the stage between crawling and walking where babies pull themselves upright and take their first steps with the aid of walls, furniture or caregivers. Cruising typically begins at 8-12 months and may overlap with crawling.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because independent walking can happen anywhere between the nine-to 18-month mark, they might start taking steps on their own as early as a few days after cruising, or several months.
