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?

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.

Established 1968. Cast about parenting, life in South Wales, coding, being older than most around here and general nonsense.

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?!!
