To get your child to walk on their heels, encourage them to keep their toes pointed up while walking, focusing the weight solely on their heels.
Incorporating Heel Walking into Daily Activities
Here are some ways you can integrate heel walking into your child’s day:
- Mealtime: Have your child heel walk to the dinner table.
- Playtime: Include heel walking as part of games or activities.
- Transportation: Make heel walking the way to get to and from the car.
By consistently adding heel walking to different parts of their day, your child will become more familiar and comfortable with this type of movement. The key is to make it fun and engaging so your child is willing to participate!
