I have a LO who is 27mths and she really struggles walking up and particularly down steps. Today's school run involved her screaming and shouting help me just to walk down the few steps from my house, then she fell up the kerb several times, then fell down the steps leaving the school.
She doesn't have well fitting shoes most of the time. Last weeks were size 6, this weeks were size 8, not sure if the shoes are the problem, although she struggles on the stairs indoors with bare feet.
I'm not sure if this is usually for this age, all my own children were early walkers and the other LOs I have are similar ages and fairly confident with stairs.
She has stairs at home so it's not that she is not used to them. When I spoke to Mum before Christmas she said she's fine on the stairs at home.
I'm doing her 2yr check this weekend so want to be clear if this is usual and what I can do to help her.
Thank you
