The baby walks like a duck. The baby walks on tiptoe.

Many babies walk like little ducks when they are learning to walk. Parents don’t need to worry too much. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you must correct it, you can. The editor will teach you some tips on how to correct your baby’s walking posture.

Baby walks like a duck

If a child walks like a duck, it is a physiological problem because he still has flat feet. Children need to hone the muscles on the soles of their feet and develop an arc in the process of walking. 95% of children will naturally have an arc on the soles of their feet before the age of 5.

Correction method:

1. If you think your child walks ugly, you can also let him play the game of pinching pencils, handkerchiefs or big buttons with his toes when he is about 2 years old.

2. When riding a three-wheeled or two-wheeled stroller, the curvature of the child's feet will form faster.

3. When playing in the playground, hold your child's hand and let him step on the barrel.

4. Or encourage him to walk on tiptoes.

It is normal for babies to have flat feet. On the contrary, if the baby has arched feet, it may indicate a neurological disorder.

Baby walking on tiptoes

If your baby walks on tiptoes when he first learns to walk and often falls, it may be a sign of cerebral palsy and you should take him to the hospital for a checkup. If your baby has already learned to walk and can walk steadily but walks on tiptoes, don't worry, it may be because your baby is naughty and thinks it's fun to walk like that.

Don't walk with your baby

For babies, learning to walk is not only a manifestation of motor development, but also the beginning of their independence, which means that they can go to places they want to go and explore things of interest according to their own ideas. A baby who does not need to be led by his parents may experience more difficulties in the process of learning to walk, but he can also gain more growth. Because he learns to walk through his own exploration, he will be more independent and autonomous. Although a baby who needs to be led by his parents to walk will eventually learn to walk, he is still very dependent on his parents in his heart. When encountering difficulties, he will first think of throwing himself into the arms of his parents instead of trying to solve them by himself.

Parents should not rush

As the saying goes: Seven sit eight crawl. This means that the child can sit by himself at 7 months and crawl at 8 months. Children also have a strong desire to crawl. During this period, parents should let their children crawl more, which can not only promote the child's physical coordination ability, but also promote the child's intellectual development, correct rib valgus, and children who crawl more will have better thinking logic. Therefore, the child must be allowed to crawl, and parents should not stop him from crawling because they think the ground is dirty. Now, most families have 4 elderly people coaxing one child. We often see that when children go out, they are held by the elderly, and very few walk by themselves. The application of any skill requires thousands of attempts. The same is true for children learning to walk. Some parents can't bear to see their children stumbling, thinking that the children will naturally walk when they grow up. In fact, there is a connection between technology and technology. If you have mastered this technology, you will most likely use it in the future. Only when the child learns to walk can he run, and only then will he have great curiosity about the world, thus prompting him to constantly understand and explore the world. If the child walked late before and everything else was normal, then parents don't have to worry. If the child has other symptoms, then parents should pay attention and seek medical treatment in time. Every child has his or her own growth pattern, and parents cannot blindly use public standards to judge whether the child's growth is normal.
