If we don't, he starts screaming and crying anyway.

He's really good at rolling to his front though. You put him down on his back and step away for a moment and you know he'll be on his front by the time you come back.

It seems like he prefers lying on his front, but just doesn't know what to do from there. Is there anything I can do as a parent to help him learn how to roll back to his backside, or crawl?
I watch an occupational therapist for babies on YouTube. She teaches you how to help your baby learn the motions. Babies develop at different rates, but I have a friend who's days within my kid and mine has been developing faster. My friend has a "he'll get there eventually" attitude, where as I do exercises in hopes to speed it up.
