tips for walking?
my son is turning 1 in exactly one month, and i just can’t seem to get him to walk or stand independently, but he crawls, pulls up to stand, and cruises (walks while holding onto furniture/walls). he has a push walker, instead of the ‘traditional’ sit in one, and he does really well on it, but i think his balance is what makes him scared to stand or walk independently.
i knoooowww i should be waiting for him to walk on his own time, but i’m hoping to get him walking before his (outdoor) birthday party, so that he can explore and play on his own, without needing to be carried everywhere 🥲
so basically!! i’m here to ask, how did you guys encourage independent standing and walking for your little ones? how can i help him practice his balance and feel more confident?
