When a child is one year old and still crawling on the ground, how old is it to start learning to walk?

Not long ago, my best friend Linlin asked me anxiously: "Why did my neighbor's 9 10-month-old baby learn to walk, while my baby is almost one and a half years old and can't walk a few steps?" . Presumably, this problem is also bothering many parents, so today I will mainly talk about the problem of baby learning to walk.

In fact, the physical condition of most babies is similar, and the main reason for the gap between babies and morning and evening may be the parents themselves. Parents who are anxious that their baby can't learn to walk, please calm down and think about the following four questions:

1. Did the baby learn to crawl first?

Before learning to walk alone, babies need to go through a step-by-step process of sitting, crawling, standing, walking and standing alone. When the baby is struggling to crawl, parents hope that he can learn to walk, which is obviously a bit too impatient.

Therefore, parents should not be too anxious about their baby's learning to walk, but also take it "step by step" slowly and steadily. If the baby is forced to walk before he learns to climb, even if he can barely walk a few steps, he is likely to tremble and it will take a long time to stand firm.

Would you like to put your child on the ground?

The elders at home always put down the baby when they see it, always hug and hold it high, and they are reluctant to put the child down from their arms. However, children are always held and carried at home, and children are not given the opportunity to learn to walk, which naturally delays the process of children learning to walk.

3. Have you learned to let go?

When the baby just learns to walk, parents always like to lead the baby when he is afraid of falling and bumping. However, taking children to walk for a long time is prone to problems such as internal character and tiptoe, and even affects the baby's learning to walk sooner or later, so parents should try to let go of the baby.

It is suggested that parents can try to let the baby walk by himself with furniture (fixed) and walls, and then slowly guide him away from these helpful things and encourage him to walk by himself. When the baby is confident and has a good sense of balance, it is not far from walking.

4. Is the method used correctly?

In fact, parents will play a more or less auxiliary role in treating the baby as a toddler. However, this does not mean that using a walker and wearing hard-soled shoes too early can help children learn to walk faster, because these two methods are actually helpful.

The simplest and most effective way is to let the baby walk around barefoot, or put on non-slip socks. This can make the child better contact with the ground, and at the same time, it can also make him feel the subtle feeling that the limbs of the body cooperate with each other more truly.

However, if the parents do not have the above four problems, and the baby has not learned to walk at 18 months, then it is necessary to consider the problem of backward development. Most babies learn to walk between 10 and 18 months. After that, you need to go to the hospital in time to check if the baby has any problems.
