Accepted Answer

It's generally considered normal if a child does not walk independently at 1 year and 1 month old. Every child develops motor skills like walking at their own pace. Here are some points to consider:

1. **Developmental Milestones**: Most children begin walking independently between 9 and 15 months. Some may start later and still fall within the normal range of development.

2. **Motor Skills Progression**: Before walking independently, children usually go through stages like crawling, pulling up to stand, and cruising (walking while holding onto furniture).

3. **Variation in Development**: Children develop at different rates, influenced by factors such as genetics, muscle strength, and opportunities for practice.

4. **Consult with Pediatrician**: If you have concerns about your child's motor development or if they're significantly delayed in achieving milestones like standing or walking, it's advisable to consult with a pediatrician. They can assess your child's development and provide guidance or referrals for further evaluation if needed.

Encourage your child with safe opportunities to practice standing and walking, and continue providing support and encouragement as they progress through their developmental stages.
