There are certain standards on which pediatricians rely when assessing the development of the baby. So, a six-month-old child should turn over in both directions through the left and right shoulder. Meanwhile, all children develop differently, and not always all skills are acquired in a timely manner.
The reasons why a baby can not turn over when, it would seem, already have all the necessary prerequisites, can be quite a lot. Perhaps the crumb is observed hypotonic or hypertonic muscles, so that it can not manage them well enough. Some babies were born prematurely, which means they can acquire some skills a little later than other children. In addition, sometimes parents simply do not participate in the motor activity of the baby, not giving him the opportunity to develop.
To the child in time to master all the necessary skills, you need to participate in his activities, engage in gymnastic exercises that strengthen the muscles, and show how to do this or that action.
