POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Cruising: Infants can practice walking by “cruising” back and forth alongside a sofa or short bench. Stand your child next to the sofa and let him hold on with one hand as you hold his other hand for balance. Slowly move back and forth along the furniture and practice walking. Soon he will let go of your hand to practice the activity on his own. If he needs an incentive, you can place his favorite toy on one end of the sofa for him to walk to.
Cruise and Kick: As your infant is holding onto furniture while cruising, place a foam ball on the floor next to her feet. She may accidently kick the ball at first, but as you keep putting it back by her feet, she will start raising one foot to kick the ball on purpose. Place the ball on both sides of her body so she can practice kicking with both feet.
Assisted Walking: Stand behind your child, place your hands around his upper arms, and pull him up to a standing position. Gently pull one arm forward and then the other. His feet will naturally follow as he rotates his hips to step. Keep practicing walking until your baby is ready to stop.
