I think it's very normal for a child to be walking this way at 14 months old. Each child develops at different stages in their life, so it is normal for a child to be learning new skills at different stages. One child might start walking at 9 months while the other might just be starting to walk at 12 months. It all depends on the individual child and their skills.

I think that it is normal for a 14 month old to be walking i would help them more by taking them outdoors and helping them to walk so they can get there balance conquered.

I think, it is perfectly normal for a 14 months old child to walk unsteadily. Creeping, crawling, walking and climbing are all typical of this stage. Red flags in this situation would be if the child weren't crawling or standing unsupported.

this is in the normal range of development for 14months old. i would be watching him and be sure that he is safe. i would help him if he needs help when he is walking.

I think it's great that the child is walking at this age. Doesn't matter if it's unsteadily, its still walking. Just needs to keep practicing.

The child in this scenario is developing within the typical developmental continuum. At this stage in development it would be more concerning if the child could not stand or walk at all. It is quite normal for children at this age to learn to strengthen their balance and coordination when walking.

The Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines tells us that this can be normal for a 14 month old child, but if the child becomes two years old and still can't walk steadily the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines suggest to share this with their doctor.

I think to be walking unsteadily at 14 months old is developmentally normal, and every child is unsteady at first.

It is typical for children to learn how to walk anywhere between about 10-18 months. If the child still seems unsteady, it may help to practice outdoors on uneven ground so they can learn to balance. Also have them walk short distances between two adults, or between a low, sturdy piece of furniture and an adult. This way, they can build their strength while someone is still present to catch them if they lose their balance.

I think its pretty normal at that age , I would just spend more time focusing on more gross motor skils.
