MY ONE YEAR OLD STANDS ON HIS TOES!

Im really worried my one year old stands on his toes. We have been trying to get him to stand flat but he doesnt. He wont even stand. What can I do?! Should I buy him special shoes? HELP!!

My little girl started walking on her toes and she still does quite often...She is almost three now.Unless that is all he will do for months on in ...I would say not to worry, he will grow out of it...You can always ask your pediatrician..mine said not to worry about it, when I asked.

My son is now 3 1/2 and he has walked on his toes since he was very little. He likes to show people. But when he was very little he did it quite often, even when he was wearing shoes. It was a little weird when we were going to different places like the store. But once the novelty of it wore off, which took several months, he would only do it on occasion. I always thought it was cute but I did feel better when we walked flat more than he walked on his toes, just knowing that he could do both.

Hello, yes my son use to do that all the time.. He loved walking on his tuppy toes. My daughter likes to too! But not as much as my son. This can mess up how they walk if it turns into a habit... but the fix is usually inexpensive and great.. try putting on a good walking shoe.. like doctor sholls... this keeps the foot flat and he wont be able to. Boys are apparently more affected by this than girls. I hope this helps. But a good walking shoe with a stiff sole should correct the problem.. Yes to wear them in the house..
