Normally, after about 12 months of age, children can stand on their own two feet and take their first steps. However, there are also children whose motor development is quite slow, and by the time they are 18 months old, they still cannot walk. This phenomenon is called slow walking.

Delayed walking is defined as a child being unable to walk independently by the age of 18 months. There are many reasons for this condition, such as premature birth, brain or muscle disorders, or inappropriate care...

The main principle to determine whether a child is slow to walk is time. By 18 months, the average age for a child to walk, if the child does not walk by this age, it is called slow walking. So what to do if the child is slow to walk?

Each baby is born a different individual, so the growth rate of each baby is also very different, some babies walk and talk quickly, some babies are slower. However, a 21-month-old baby who cannot walk is an issue that needs parents to pay close attention to, so they should take the child to the doctor to find the cause and have appropriate treatment.
