Overcoming fear

Fear is something that everyone has to overcome. From birth we are afraid of a lot of different things. One of the first few fears that we overcome is the fear of sitting up, crawling,walking and standing alone. It’s amazing to watch as children learn to overcome those fears, to achieve those goals.

For Kyle he has been somewhat of a late bloomer, he never hit the milestones when a lot of other kids where hitting them. He has really taught me a valuable lesson in patience. Recently we have really been working on his walking (he is getting close to 18 months). He is pretty good about walking when he is pushing something or holding on, but he just isn’t ready to let go. Over the last week he has gotten braver and braver. He has been letting go and standing on his own, although I don’t think he realizes it just yet. He has also been taking small baby steps, like 3 steps at a time. My goal is that he is walking by Christmas, don’t think it’s a lofty goal.
