Why does my child always fall down while walking?

Children are prone to encounter dangerous situations when playing, such as falling and bumping into things, etc. These are relatively normal phenomena and are not likely to cause any harm to the body. However, some children always fall down while walking. This phenomenon is abnormal and parents need to carefully analyze the reasons. Let’s take a look at why children always fall down while walking. I hope parents can understand this.

1. Shoe problems: When the baby's shoes are too big, too small, too heavy, too hard, etc., it will directly affect the child's walking posture and stability. Many parents blindly believe in some so-called functional shoes on the market and let their babies wear them. As a result, the children not only walk unsteadily, but also fall frequently, which hinders the normal growth of their feet. It brings a lot of unnecessary trouble to children's walking and development.

2. Not reaching the age: Although babies can walk when they are over one year old, they need to wait until they are 3 or 4 years old to be able to walk steadily in the true sense. Of course, every child’s situation is different, and their athletic abilities and physical fitness are different, so their balance abilities also vary. 3. Calcium deficiency. If your baby still falls frequently after the age of 3, it is recommended that parents measure the child’s bone density to see if it is caused by calcium deficiency. If so, you should promptly strengthen supplements through diet, nutrition, exercise, etc. to improve the problem and avoid severe calcium deficiency which may cause rickets and hinder your height and physical growth and development.

4. Problems with the development of the motor system. When the child’s shoes are fine and the child is of appropriate age, but he still falls when walking, parents need to consider whether there is a problem with the development of the child’s motor system. When a child has problems with his motor system, it not only affects his walking stability, but also his daily limb movements and behavioral abnormalities. It is recommended that parents discover problems in time, take their children to the hospital for physical examinations, and make timely diagnoses and adjustments.
