To help your child learn to stand
Let’s bounce
up and down,
Natife.
Hold him in a standing position on
your lap. Bounce him up and down a
little so he gets used to feeling where
his feet are. Also move him gently from
side to side so he learns to shift his
weight.
Sit on the ground with your legs
apart. Encourage your child to hold
onto your body and pull himself
into a kneeling position, and then
to stand up.
Keep pulling, Anil.
There you go!
Put toys he likes on a chair or table and encourage him to pull
himself up to get them. Or put your hands on his hips to help
him up.
Up you go,
Viku!
To help your child lower
himself from a standing
position to a sitting
position, support his bottom
as he lowers himself to the
floor.
helping children who are blind
I’m holding
you, Manuel.
You can sit
down.
