Encouraging Walking

3 ways you can encourage and guide your baby into walking:

  1. provide items to practice cruising such as: the ledge of your couch, kid shopping cart, wooden bike etc

  2. provide opportunities to practice and work on it every day: get the mail together while you hold their hands as they walk

  3. Hold their hands as they walk around and let go of the pressure of “suppose to” — they will walk when they need to

Disclaimer: always check for milestones and stages as when they hit over 15 months it can become a concern.
