I have a bum shuffling 1 yr old who is nowhere close to walking or even cruising. I read an NHS leaflet that said bum shufflers are usually late walkers and usually learn to walk around 18-24 months. Thinking ahead, I'm wondering whether I will start to have difficulties with her as she gets bigger and her interests develop but she is unable to walk...e.g. toddler groups. I have a few friends who have children who from around 14-18 months were running around playing and went to playgroups where they would run about and play with toys etc. I am wondering how my DD will be able to join in/engage with those kinds of playgroups if she can't walk? And no doubt I will be a bit worried if I took her to those sorts of things about her getting accidentally hurt by the children running about if she's stuck on the floor?
