Children start walking only when their backbone got stronger enough and is absolutely ready to the loadings connected with independent movement on legs.
When in family there is a kid, each his new opening for parents is considered the real holiday. Many get special albums where mark age at which the child for the first time smiled, sat down when there was the first zubik that ate in the first feeding up. The first step and the first word, of course, are considered as grandiose events.
At what age the child takes the first steps
Young parents face what is constantly heard from the acquaintances that their child started walking in so many, to hold a spoon in so many, to say offers in so many. Once you come with the kid to the playground, involuntary comparison begins at once. It is not necessary to be tormented if the neighbour's boy seems developed by it, and own lags behind.
Certainly, there are norms about which the pediatricians concerning age features of manifestation of any given skills speak. But at the same time you should not forget that each child, as well as the adult, is individual. On average children begin to take the first steps at the age of 12 months. If to speak about an age framework, then these are 9-15 months. Respectively if someone brags that his child went in six months, then it is improbable, perhaps, means – took several steps in walkers. Preparation for circulation begins already with the crawling moment. Time goes, the kid gradually begins to get up, holding handles furniture or walls, then slowly squats. And once releases handles and takes the first step.
Whether it is possible to promote that the child started walking earlier
Many parents ask a question what to make in order that the kid went quicker. It is not absolutely correct approach. The fact is that the person is created by the being capable to self-training. Children unconsciously in everything imitate those who surround them. The child anyway will start walking, this matter of time. The only thing that can help it, are active games and attention of parents. If to begin to explain to the one-year-old offspring how to move legs to go, he can simply be frightened, and children are very subject to a stress. This can just become the reason of unwillingness of the child to go.
What to do if the child did not go in time
Nevertheless it happened so that the kid already was 15 months old, 16 months, and he does not want to start walking, it is worth addressing experts. Problems can be connected with weakness of muscles or consist in a spinal cord. Independently the diagnosis cannot be made, this business of pediatricians. The psychological aspect can be one more cause, the child can and took the first steps, but something frightened him, and further he refuses to study.
