Frequently asked questions

Is toe‑walking normal?

Occasional toe‑walking is common early on; persistent toe‑walking past age 2 or stiffness warrants evaluation.

How can I promote language development?

Talk often, read daily, sing, and model simple words; give time to respond and praise attempts.

Is it normal to mispronounce words?

Yes—pronunciation is immature at this age. Growth in vocabulary and attempts to communicate matter most. Learn what to expect in toddler language development.
