(just a note about normal walking. A child can learn to walk alone
anywhere from 8 to 16 months "normally". Generally if a child is not walking
by 17 months I will suggest a visit to a neurologist or PND to rule out a
problem. Sometimes a child may have some low muscle tone (be a little
floppy) and that causes later walking because muscles are not as ready to
move so it is harder to maintain posture and move. Low muscle tone often has
no underlying cause but getting it checked to make sure can't hurt.)
