How it works

  1. 1~30s

    Alright, let's get started! To complete this activity, you will need a 15 to 20 centimeter wide board or duct tape. you, watch your child closely — I'd love to hear what you notice about how they responds.

  2. 2~30s

    Great, now let's try the next part. Place the board on the floor or create a path for your baby to walk on by desigdaining a 15 to 27 meter wide area with tape. Tell me what your child does — any reaction counts!

    Watch for: Little One take unsteady and short steps alone.

  3. 3~30s

    One more thing to try. Have your baby walk over the path while you observe her feet. Your baby should eventually learn to walk with her legs together, staying inside the path's boundaries. During this exercise, observe if your baby coordinates her movements alternating her feet in order to walk on narrow surfaces and if she begins to walk alone. How does your child handle this? What do you see?
