Ermmm… I’d buy corner protectors for all the sharp corners of the furniture lor. I learnt it the hard way when Ophelia would walk into table corners. 🙁

Now you got to watch her closely all the time lor, until she is more “steady”. But it’s great fun to see your child become more independent each day…

Next step, potty training!

jefferene,
Yee Ching so smart, knew how to fall forward. Zara keeps banging her head on the floor. That’s why I need to look for a ‘method’

blurblur,
Wah, protect backwards and front. Terror.

sue,
a lot of people say that. True meh?

Jasmine,
yeah, have to find a ‘softer’ approach.

egghead,
why look always so special? Maybe like daddy so naughty. Enjoy following down. 😛

mumsgather,
been letting her explore on her own. End up, lots of bumps on the head. 🙁

Fannie,
I was hoping Zara will ‘learn how to protect’ herself as well loh. But somehow, keep falling and bumping the head.

Jesslyn,
yeah, must make sure fall down also ‘slowly’ and will not hurt herself too badly.

maria,
I head Beijing lots of such classes. B’cos most couple have 1 child, so willing to spend a lot on the child. So what kind of classes also got.

Dinah, thanks.

1+2mom,
good idea also. pad the floor maximum. 🙂

hah? got classes to attend even walking? :P, I also want to open classes liao, teach parent how to jaga twins hahaha…

I prefer to let the baby do it all by themselve lor, I always believe they will walk when they are ready, they will learn how to fall and get up with their instint, all we need to do just merely, watch closer and get those rubber mat ready for them, at least that was what I did lar.

but if I can afford, will like to go to those classes too, see what they have in their pocket :D.

For me, Ethyl is learning to stand on her feet w/o any support! What I do is, I will be in front of her, because I believe, seeing me in front will encourage her to move forward.

Then again, after some falls, they will learn to “protect” themselves and that is when they uses their hands and knees to “support” their falls.

They still have long learning processes, so do we! 🙂

Agnes, Zara…jia you!
