Does anyone’s kids walk on their toes? My 2 year old does it a lot so we keep shoes on him 24/7. My 3 year old started copying him but now it seems like she’s doing it without even realizing, I don’t know what to do😫
Does everyone think this is enuf toys for my 1 year old or do I need to get him more?x
icky feelings Do you think it's normal for a 12 year old girl to shower with a 5 year old boy?
My 5 year old brother just got circumcised due to all the infections he kept on getting & seeing him in so much pain not being able to walk makes me glad I got my son circumcised as a newborn & planning on doing the same with my second baby.
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill? He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over tonight and run it by him...
Question: 16 year old dating an q8 year old? Thoughts?? My opinion is hell no. 16 year old is still a kid. Kids now a days want to be grown so bad and be in adult relationships and situations. I know when my daughters are 16 and they tell me they are dating an 18 year old. I will surely flip my lid.

Depending how much she does it I would try to make her stop ik a girl that walked like that and needed surgery to fix it bcuz her muscles didn't grow right so now im super paranoid
Samantha ··
I’m scared my 2 year old might need it because he’s walked like this since he started walking😐 but shoes seem to help with him!
Dusty ··
have him wear them more.
And as annoying and repetitive as it is correct ot everytime. My daughter started it and evertime id say we walk on our feet or toes and heals she eventually stopped

@hakunamafuckitall, thank you I definitely will give it a try!

If you’re okay with wearing shoes in the house, it’s harder to walk on tip toes with them on and forces them to walk more normal. If you’re extremely concerned, contact a local pediatric PT for an eval. Even if your kids don’t qualify for PT, evals are usually free and the PT will send you home with ideas and tricks. YouTube also has a lot of at-home PT ideas and I’m sure tip toe walking solutions could be found there.
My oldest did it forever and thankfully just wearing shoes regularly helped. But now my youngest is doing it and we JUST graduated from PT in October. I don’t want to have to go back, but will if necessary.

My 2 year old is autistic so he does it because of sensory problems, like you said the shoes do help. I’m pretty sure my daughter started doing it to copy him because he gets attention from me correcting the behavior non stop. I just don’t want it to be a habit for her when she’s never done it before.

my oldest has SPD (and oral and verbal apraxia, and fine motor issues) so I get it. I’ve been told by his OT that PT can help even if it’s sensory related. I can’t tell if my little guy is doing it because of big brother or because he is showing signs of sensory struggles too. We dealt with retained reflexes too, he W sits and also has started rocking. I’m waiting to schedule an eval with a neuro until he’s closer to 2, but I just have a feeling in my gut he’s going to be back in therapy.
Uhhhh·
Both my kids do it ....
Apparently it's a family thing.
My husband's mom and sister both walk on their toes..

Speaking as the mother of an autistic child. Toe walking is a classic sign of autism.
Of course toe walking by itself doesn't automatically mean autism. But it could mean there's some sensory issues.
As a side note.. My middle nephew had apraxia when he was younger but has grown out of it. He's 13 years old now and speaks quite well but he does have some light and sound sensitivity. Also his younger brother is autistic.

Thanks! I’m not scared she has autism I just think it’s for attention at this point. My sons autistic and I know it’s a sensory with him but the shoes seem to be helping for now. I hope he outgrows it but we’ll see!
