approaching first birthday, still cant stand

Mom... I'm really worried. My child is almost 1 year old (11 months) and still can't stand up... can sometimes stand with support, but still falls often. Not to mention standing, even when supported, they cry and just want to sit down. It's like they're scared. Why is that, mom... I want to take them to a pediatrician, but last time I went, I was scolded for supposedly not providing enough stimulation and not caring for my child. It's exhausting to be judged constantly. has anyone experienced the same?

My older child also can’t walk unassisted at 1 year old. She only started walking when she turned 18 months! We were also very worried and concerned. What we did was to slowly guide her to walk short distance to and fro. It also helps to set up a play pen for her so that she can hold onto the pole when she wants to stand up. Slowly but surely, I’m sure your child will be able to walk unassisted. Now my older one is 25months old and running everywhere.
