I agree on getting the child some shoes - the old fashion ankle support type shoes would be ideal. They give the child confidence and a base to stand on. When the child does stand do her feet go flat on the floor or are the tendons in the ankles tight. Again for Brianne we had to do exercises to make that joint more flexible before she could be fitted with her AFO ankle braces. I have always found the children that come to me in shoes rather than the slippers walk on average a month earlier than the other ones. Make sure child is not in sock feet as they have a tendency to slip and feel unbalanced. If they won't buy her shoes then make it bare feet - she needs grip support.
