I really need some advice. My 19th month old is having trouble walking, he will walk from furniture fine and I’ll hold his hand and he will walk off fine but then he will go on the floor and crawl. At his daycare he NEVER walks he will only crawl and I don’t know what to do. I feel a little defeated. I don’t know how to make him walk! Everyone just keeps telling me he’s lazy since he can walk but is choosing not to. Anybody else’s child like this? Should I go to a doctor?

You could look into having him do some physical therapy! My cousins boy was in the same boat and he’s been doing therapy and it’s really been helping!

My daughter is doing physiotherapy
She isn't walking unassisted yet
Physiotherapist saw shes got the strength just hasn't got the confidence yet she furniture cruising, using her walker just not 100% confident to do steps alone
Is that maybe what is happening with your son like he is scared ?
He doesn’t seem to be scared cause he will take steps and keep going till he falls over but then he’ll just crawl, he will not get back up and when I stand him up he squeals and drops his legs

Any update on this? Dealing with the same!
