Child Development: What to Do If Your Child Isn't Walking by 14 Months

If a child is not walking by 14 months of age, the caregiver should:

- Talk to the child's doctor. There may be an underlying medical condition that is preventing the child from walking.

- Encourage the child to practice standing and walking. This can be done by providing the child with opportunities to stand and walk, such as using a walker or push toy.

- Be patient. Every child develops at their own pace. Some children may not walk until they are 18 months old or older.
