At what age do children start learning to walk?

Parents all hope that their children will grow up healthy. In the process of growth, they will have more and more abilities. For example, at the beginning, the child will turn over in bed, then crawl in bed, and then the baby will have the ability to stand up. Next, the child will start to learn to walk. Parents must guide their children to learn to walk correctly and never rush it. So at what age do babies usually learn to walk?

At what age do children start learning to walk?

In fact, it is a gradual process for a baby to learn to walk. He cannot walk all at once, so parents should not rush it. Let’s take a look at the specific timetable for a baby to learn to walk, so that you can observe and train him well!

1. 10-11 months

As mentioned above, generally from 10 months on, babies begin to learn to walk consciously. As their desire to walk increases, they will naturally try to start walking along the edge of a low table or stand on the table for a long time.

2. 12 months

Babies around one year old are in the explosive period of learning to walk, and many babies will soon be able to walk. It is very important to exercise the leg muscles at this time. When you find that he can squat freely, it means that he is not far from learning to walk.

3. 12-13 months

At this time, the baby has a deeper understanding of walking. He will walk by holding the edge of the table, and he will not only walk a few steps. He is more enthusiastic about walking and can walk and crawl to any place in the house.

4. 13-14 months

A baby's walking is not only related to the legs, but the coordination of the eyes is also very important. He needs to coordinate his eyes and feet to judge how to walk in a place and adapt to different surfaces differently.

5. 14-15 months

Most babies can basically walk relatively well, and they also have a strong desire to explore the food around them. The key is that they can also walk directly to a place to see what is happening. Take them to the park more often!

The time it takes for a baby to learn to walk is usually a concern for mothers. People often ask, is it abnormal for a baby to walk late? What is the reason? In fact, it is completely normal for babies not to walk before one year old. Some babies cannot walk even after one year old. Chinese and foreign experts have said that this is a normal phenomenon. Some babies may be able to walk at 10 months, while some babies cannot walk well even after they are one year old. But these are all normal and there is no need to worry at all.

So why do babies walk late? In fact, this is related to the different physical conditions of each baby. It does not mean that walking late means poor development. Babies before one year old are in infancy, and this period is also the baby's sensory adjustment period. There is no standard for how long this adjustment period takes, which will affect when he walks and when he talks. These should not be planned, but a matter of letting nature take its course. Parents just need to wait patiently.
