How to correct a child's tiptoe walking

Some babies have already started to toddle when they are about one year old, because at this time, babies can basically stand without holding on to anything, and when babies are anxious, they will naturally learn to walk. However, in the process of babies learning to walk, mothers must pay attention to the baby's walking posture and develop their correct walking posture. So how can we correct children walking on tiptoe?

If your baby's toe-pointing problem persists for a long time and is accompanied by delayed motor development, poor hearing or some other abnormal postures, you should be careful of a certain degree of brain damage or abnormal brain development. This is pathological toe-pointing and should be taken seriously.

1. How to correct a baby walking on tiptoes

In most cases, it is normal for babies to walk on tiptoe, but it may also be affected by some external factors, such as shoes that do not fit well or socks that are uncomfortable. It is also possible that the baby has developed a wrong habit of walking in this way, which needs to be corrected.

1. Say goodbye to baby walkers

Some babies use walkers too early, and not only do they walk on tiptoe during the toddler stage, but their walking posture is still incorrect when they grow up. Therefore, parents should pay attention that when babies are learning to walk, they should use walkers as little as possible and should not use walkers for long periods of time. Generally, after saying goodbye to the walker, babies will no longer walk on tiptoe.

2. Choose the right shoes

Some babies may walk like this because of the problem of shoes, so it is also important to choose suitable shoes for babies in the toddler stage. It is best to choose shoes with a forefoot that is easier to bend, which is conducive to starting and also helps to develop a correct walking posture.

3. Practice barefoot walking

When your baby is at home, you can walk barefoot with him on wooden boards or soft carpets to increase his sense of touch and grip on the ground and develop his balance. But be aware that it is important to keep your floors clean and clear. You can also train your baby's ability to walk on a slope, which is helpful for exercising the calf muscles.
