Hello, My baby is 15 month old but she is not walking independently and whenever we are trying to leave her hand and encourage nher walking alone it seems she is not confident and holding our hands. Although she is eager to walk all the time and keeps walking holding our hand almost whole day. Please suggest how to develop confidence in her and make her walk independently

A. don't worry and keep trying as the average age if walking is 13 months and the range is from 10 to 18 months. and so don't worry and slowly she will walk.
