Why does a child land on his heels first when walking?

If a child always lands on his heels first when walking, the child's walking is definitely unstable. On the one hand, parents should patiently teach their children to walk correctly and develop good walking habits. On the other hand, they should consider whether it is caused by lack of nutrition, especially whether the child's lower limb development is impaired. In short, the situation is more complicated, and the common reasons are as follows.

First, why do children land on their heels first when walking?

Consider whether it is caused by calcium deficiency. You can supplement calcium and cod liver oil.

Guidance:

Correct your child's walking habits, supplement calcium, observe the effect, and give your child more calcium-supplemented foods. I wish you health and happiness.

Second, what should I do if my baby only touches the ground with his heels when walking?

Every baby has individual differences in how they learn to walk, and landing on the heels may also be an effort to maintain body balance. Generally, babies start learning to walk at around 11 months old, and it is normal for them to learn to walk at one year old or older. When the baby is just starting to learn to walk, the adult can hold both hands and walk forward, then hold one hand, and gradually transition to letting go of the hand and letting her take independent steps. If the baby is timid, parents can protect her and make her feel safe. At the beginning, you must prevent your baby from falling to reduce her fear. Once she experiences the joy of walking, she will take bold steps. Don't wear too many or too thick clothes in winter to avoid inconvenience in movement. Baby's shoes should be light and of suitable size, and the walking surface should be flat. Each training session should not be too long or too strenuous.

Third, this situation may be caused by the child’s work and rest habits.

Guidance:

In your case, you just need to pay attention to correcting your child's condition and see how he recovers. Generally, no special treatment is required.

Fourth, the child’s condition may be caused by ligament injury, which is a more common situation.

Guidance:

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If it is confirmed that it is a ligament injury, then consider further corrective treatment.

Fifth, why do children dare not touch the ground with their heels when walking?

There are many reasons why children are afraid to put their hind feet on the ground, such as trauma, inflammation, neuropathy, etc., which require further examination and causal treatment.

Physical examination, X-ray and other examinations, treatment under the guidance of the doctor according to the results, and follow the doctor's orders.
