Teaching a Toddler To...: WALK

Sophya is one year and 12 days old. She does almost everything that is supposed at her age except for walking. Although I do understand that all children are different and develop according to their own scheme I started to get a little worried about it since my elder daughter began walking at the age of 12 months and all my friends` kids do walk even being younger. So, I studied the question in the literature and would like to share some interesting facts.

Is my Baby Ready to Walk?

Children: toddlers. Lets play together!

My sweet girl has been trying to walk herself for a month already but that still doesn`t come out very well. I googled for some exercise to encourage her. Here is one of them:

Push me, pull you
If your toddler is pulling herself up and trying to walk, help her practice with a pushing and pulling game. Use a moveable object such as a child-size chair or plastic stacking box filled with soft toys. While she holds the edges for support you can hold the other side and keep it steady. Then slowly pull the box toward you to encourage her to step forward. Soon she'll start to push while you gently pull. This will build her confidence for the day she finally walks on her own.
