A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step 👣 – Confucius.

Baby’s first steps 👣are one of the most precious moments and biggest milestone in life! 🍾 Being able to stand up from the ground to walk off in search of what caught your eye is the start of a lifetime of exploration and independence for a child. 🧑

For many children, learning to walk seems like a natural progression for them. 🚶‍♀️However, for some children pulling to stand or even putting weight on their feet to stand seem like a struggle. 😳😳There are many reasons why a child may struggle to learn to stand or walk, 🤔 but none is because they are lazy. Often there is an underlying muscle weakness or adaptive habits like bottom shuffling that is holding the child back from learning to walk.👶🏻

All toddlers 👧 should be walking independently by 18-19 months old otherwise they would be considered to be delayed in their gross motor skills 😳

So if your child is not yet walking at 19 months, don’t wait any longer, reach out to one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists at My Favourite Physio on 📱(02) 9790 4233 or DM us @myfavouritephysio today! Let us help your child with that first step.
