My little will be 15 months mid-may and she has still not stood up or walked along furniture on her own. She will stand in one spot to play with toys for up to 15 minutes at a time. We practice this every day. I have tried many walkers and placing high value items just out of reach to encourage her but she either gets really frustrated or ignores it altogether without trying. It seems almost like she’s afraid.
She is a very fast and strong crawler so she knows her fastest way of getting to things or people is to crawl.
Should I be concerned? When did your little one start showing interest in walking or standing? Are there any other tips or methods that I should be trying to help encourage her to learn?
Any advice is very much appreciated. I just feel like I’m not doing enough to help her succeed and I’m getting worried.
I should also add that I am a first time mama so I have no prior experience with this.

I may only have a 6 month old, but I have baby siblings aged 6-4 years and I’ve noticed some are super about the skills and so quick to pick things up, but others take their time to work their way up. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong and honestly, you just gotta keep helping her work up the confidence to try! Make it a game so it seems less like learning and more like a fun challenge

She has a way of getting around so she's not bothered about walking. She can stand so there doesn't sound to be any issues with her muscles or leg development....
I don't think healthcare providers worry until they're 18 months. Keep tempting her with toys n treats sure she'll soon get some steps in!
