A. If your 1.9-year-old daughter has Down syndrome and is not yet walking, it's important to remember that each child with Down syndrome develops at their own pace. Delayed milestones, including walking, are common, but with proper support, many children make significant progress over time. Here are a few steps to consider: Consult a Pediatrician or Specialist: A doctor or pediatrician can assess her development and rule out any additional issues. They can also recommend physical therapy or exercises to help improve strength and coordination. Physical Therapy: A physical therapist can work with your child on strengthening her muscles, improving her balance, and providing exercises that support her ability to stand and walk. Encourage Movement: Engage in activities like tummy time, crawling, or assisted standing to promote muscle development and confidence. Use Supportive Equipment: In some cases, orthotic shoes or special equipment may help with walking development. Patience and Consistency: Keep providing a nurturing, stimulating environment, and celebrate her progress, no matter how small. It’s important to work with healthcare providers who specialize in Down syndrome to create a tailored plan to help her reach her milestones when she’s ready.
