The 11 months is the average age at which the baby walks supported on all sides. As time goes by it will start to let go for a while. The child at this stage doubles taking everything within reach, calculates distances, pushes chairs between some of his psychomotor advances.
The little one begins to venture with new steps that must be celebrated at all times in order to reinforce this behavior. There are some early stimulation exercises that benefit learning to stand and walk. Parents can help them with the following exercises:
Stimulate all attempts to stand up and walk: Leave the baby on a bed or a piece of furniture and call him from further away showing him his favorite toy. As you take steps, apply and say "Very good." Help you take steps forward: Once the child has learned to walk along a piece of furniture or on the sofa, you can start taking it by the hand. Stand behind him, hold his hands, push them forward slightly and the child will begin to take steps. Gradually decrease your help.
Learn to stand up without support: Place a bench or a box about 20 cm high by your side and offer a toy tilting very little so that it can only be reached by standing up. Once he has crawled to the bank, he will learn to lean on him by kneeling initially and then he will stand up to reach the toy you offer him.
Teach the child to open drawers: Allows the child to play with a small drawer that is easy to open and is at its height. It will open and close with great interest. Fill it with toys that you like, allow them to take them out and put them back in and close the drawer again. The child will try to stand up to open the drawer.
Remember that each child has its own pace of development, you should not force it if you are not yet prepared for it and do not forget to have it in your sight to avoid accidents.
