Ways to encourage my baby to walk?
Just so we're clear, I do not want to force her to do anything (if I had it my way she wouldn't have started crawling). I want some ways in which I can encourage her to take her first steps, I know as her Mother I have to encourage her no matter how badly I want her to stay my tiny baby. She's 1, can stand up unaided for as long as she likes, but she gets distracted very easily. She has 2 different walkers, one with lots of buttons and spinny things the other is a Quad bike. Everytime she walks around on one of these we shout and clap out hands and she gets loads of praise, she can walk around just holding onto one of our hands and she's putting no weight on it atall, we make it a game for her by walking round, then spinning suddenly, and chasing people. She has taken a step on her own, but as soon as she goes to take that second step her confidence fades and she falls. I know she can do it, she just need the confidence to let go and go for it. What are the ways you encourage your children? I'm happy to leave her to do it in her own time as I know she will, I do NOT want to force her into doing anything. Just want some ways I can do what I can to help her.
