Learn to walk

About the solution

Learn to walk - My daughter is visual impaired, legally blind with 5% vision in a single eye. Learn to walk was something more difficult for her than for most kids. She seemed scared. Instead of holding her hand all the time, making her unbalanced we thought of a child harness. The "leash" gave her something to hold, she used to grab it, gave her support and helped her stand right. She felt more confident. As she couldn’t see very well it was difficult for her to just release our hand and walk away. After 2 months she was walking and today she runs with confidence.

    Hello Rita. This idea is awesome. I was curious to know how was the "leash" they used?
