In fact, there is a significant percentage of babies that naturally 
crawl in a parallel system rather than the more common (it is a mistake 
to call it "properly") cross system. Learning cross-body motion is a 
significant challenge for these people after they become adults, and 
teachers should recognise the difficulty.
