Surely, many parents are looking forward and awe when their baby starts to walk. The day this event happens will be unforgettable. While the child is just making attempts at the first steps, parents can help him with this.
Remember, all children are different. Someone starts walking earlier, someone later. Be patient. Don't rush the kid. When the time comes, he will definitely go. If the child already knows how to crawl, do not limit him in this. Crawling strengthens the muscles and spine. This is necessary so that the baby can move in an upright position. Think of crawling as preparation for the first steps.
When the child starts to get up and walk, holding on to pieces of furniture, prepare him a kind of route. Arrange the sofa, chairs, armchairs in such a way that they form a vicious circle. Moreover, the distance between them should be minimal. Have the baby walk in a circle, alternately holding on to each of the objects. Increase the distance gradually. To make it more interesting for the child to do this, you can arrange toys. Then he will perceive it as fun entertainment. Gradually begin to lead the child by the hands. First take both hands, then one. Encourage the child to go to you, stretch out your hands to him.
Do not forget to praise the baby, encourage him. Be confident and calm yourself. Believe me, your confidence will certainly be passed on to your child. Protect your baby from falls. Often, after a fall, a child develops fear. It will take additional time to overcome it and try to walk again. Remove all dangerous objects at home that the child can hit, put bollards at the corners. And most importantly, make sure that the child's clothes do not hinder his movements. Keep it loose and light enough. It is better to choose socks with a rubberized sole that does not slip. In them, the baby will be able to feel much more confident.
When walking outside, choose places where other children are walking. Your child will try to imitate them. At first, have the child walk, leaning on something. Let him roll the stroller himself, or a gurney to hold on to. Help your baby and believe in him. You will definitely succeed.
