| Re: Any advice please
Most early walkers do better without shoes, because they spread their toes and use toes to grip (even though this grip is minimal, it (obviously!) does help).
Make sure his shoes are big enough, too small shoes make the toes curl up and make it is alot more difficult to balance (your child won't complain about too small shoes, his toes are so flexible that he will just curl them...)
Early walkers are also very curious and will try to look around a turn their bodies while trying to balance at the same time. Try to do this yourself. Stand and look around while turning your body and look up and turn (toddlers look up almost all the time because..well..they are short!). It is not as easy as it seems!
His balance will improve, and maybe you are just lucky to have one of these kids that seem to fall all the time (I call them the bruisers, two of mine were bruisers, the other two never fell!).
Isn't it fun to have a walker though!
