Parenting

Parentcaster

16mo daughter still not walking. Crawls like a maniac, walks great holding hands — just refuses to go solo. She’s a big girl (90+ percentile heigh & weight), so maybe just taking her time. Ped suggested PT soon if we wanted but feels a rushed. Anyone else skip PT and let it play out?

Tiny ranch. Normal size chickens.

Mostly posting works in progress and food pics.

🤣 that's awesome. Same reasoning here...

We waited on walking and speech therapy, now they’re running all over the place and won’t shut up.

My youngest was far later walking than my eldest - mainly because he knew his elder brother doted on him and would fetch anything he needed. Why have a dog and bark yourself?!!

A friend in a similar situation years ago told me that her mother said "nobody looks at a 12 year-old and says 'oh, you're such a good walker,' and she stopped caring. It sorted itself out eventually.

I think wait til 18mo sometimes just rapid development with a few days and weeks here's a lil bit money towards new shoes 18 $degen

I would not freak out about it and bet she will learn just fine in time

I slowly went from holding hands to holding three, two fingers to one finger to pinky only… wonder if that would help ease the transition?
