How to encourage my LO to start walking? She can walk supported but when i hold 1 side of her hand, she cant walk that well and tends to fall one side and then she will cry and be scared of walking. She is scared of the floor becos we seldom put her on the floor and crawl. Most of the time she is on soft surfaces. She always pull herself into standing position and just stand there till she fall back to sitting position. How do i encourage her to take mini steps? She is 1yo btw.

Hi, I guess, let her be and do not push her. She is already started walking with support and soon she will on her own take the risk of walking without holding anything. You just got to be patient. I suggest, enjoy these moments of her trying to walk taking support, as soon this will be the thing of the past. See, she can learn walking before her own time also if you encourage her, but why put so much pressure on her already.
