The walking stage of the child
Walking is one of the important stages for the child and his parents, because it is a qualitative leap in the child’s life. He moves from the stage of holding and the inability to walk to the stage of mobility and freedom of movement throughout the house. He starts walking gradually until he is able to rely on himself. , But in the first stage of the walk, parents must support their child so that he can walk properly and avoid hurting himself and exposing him to any danger.
Steps to teach the child to walk
- Encourage the child to stand alone, by holding any solid piece in the house.
- Bring a set of eye-kid games, work on distribution in places accessible, preferably placed on home furniture, to motivate and encourage the child to stand up to get them.
- When the child reaches the age of ten months, he begins to change his position from standing to sitting. In this case, the mother can put a set of toys on the floor so that the child can bend his back to get them.
- Start by holding a mother to condemn her child and help him walk. When the mother notices that her baby has begun to walk gradually, hold on to one hand and leave the other.
- You must create the right place to walk and moving for the child, and get rid of everything that can cause harm to him; because when he stumbles on anything from home furniture, he will be scared and be anxious when walking.
* The mother must carefully monitor her child, if you notice the difficulty and inability to walk in the shoe, working to remove it to be able to walk better.
