[quote=Anonymous]I think the pp is right and you start early and foster independence. My dd is only 18 months and we try to walk everywhere and not be carried. Of course I carry her when she's tired or unhappy but most of the time she walks. We went to ikea and she toddled around instead of being in a stroller. A lot more work for me to chase her and make sure she doesn't get into anything. I have a bad back so I had to curtail the carrying early so that was always a priority. I'll squat and sit with her if she's whining but not pick her up. When she had a cold I would say "give me your nose" and show her how to blow and then wipe her nose. She now comes to me and the box of tissues and makes the blowing sound. Much easier to work on these things when they are at the compliant age and want to mimic everything. [/quote]
