My child isn't walking yet — should I be worried?
Most children walk between 9 and 18 months — a wide, normal range. If your child is pulling to stand, cruising and bearing weight, this is usually on track; a developmental check is worth booking if there are no steps by around 18 months or other signs appear. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Read the answer AnswerWhat does it mean if my child isn't walking yet?
Most children walk independently between 9 and 18 months, so walking a little later than peers is often completely normal — what matters is steady progress through sitting, crawling, pulling to stand and cruising. A friendly developmental check is worth it if your child isn't walking by around 18 months, isn't bearing weight or cruising at the expected stages, or has lost a skill. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
