How can I get my toddler to wear shoes
Robeez is the only shoes my 16 mos. son wears. As a Child Developmental Specialist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I try to inform parents that walking is not only a large motor skill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also a fine motor skill. Infants have to have the opportunity to learn how to grip their toes when walking. Hard-soled shoes don't allow this. That's why Robeez are so great, the soft-leather bottoms allow the infant to make the minute adjustments that are needed in order to become proficient walkers. There are thousands of nerve endings in the bottom of the foot and infants need to be able to feel the surface on which they are walking to utlize them. That's why this is oftentimes a problem, the shoes/socks dull the messages the foot is sending to their brains! If Robeez are too expensive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wal-Mart is now selling a similiar shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though the quality is not the best. It helps to remember that this is not necessarily a behavioral issue, but a developmental one in which your child is telling you exactly what she needs.
Our son was the same way. He learned to walk in the summer when shoes were optional. Then we bought him a pair of regular tennies and he freaked. All of a sudden,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he decided he couldn't walk, and acted like we'd put weights on his feet! Finally, we just put his shoes on and went to another room. He sat and cried for about 10 minutes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then his curiousity got the best of him and he had to get up to see what we were doing. He crawled with his shoes on for a couple hours (and looked mighty mad doing it),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then decided that crawling took too long and just "went for it" with the tennies on. The best thing to do is sympathize with the dilemma,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but don't take the shoes off. What I kept telling myself was that he wasn't in pain and he just had to deal with the new reality, and it didn't take long before he was calmed down and quite proud of himself.
I am the mother of a 13 month old who did the same thing. He would simply crawl if I was able to put shoes on his feet. While he still trips on his own toes, I am now able to get them on his feet. Some things that worked for us:
We slowly desensitized Brandon to his shoes. Left them lying around and pretended to put the shoes on a favorite teddy bear and made a joke out of it. This was for about a week.
Everytime I put my shoes on I made sure Brandon watched me put them on and acted like it was a big deal.
Once he was excited for them to be on his feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we allowed him to crawl around in the house while wearing them. Sure enough, he would forget they were on and get up and start walking around. It was alot easier to have him wear the shoes in the house to get practice and then it wasn't such a big deal when we were out.
I have to second the comments about making sure the shoes fit. My 23-month-old dd loves to wear her shoes, but I can tell when it's time to go shoe-shopping because she starts protesting putting them on. She too needed a size "wide." I found this out when I had her fitted for shoes at Stride-Rite. The clerk said little ones often need wides because of the baby fat on their feet. I bought my daughter's first shoes on my own, at Payless, but have since decided that, for now anyway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I need to take her to a better shoe store to be properly fitted, and to buy the best-quality shoes I can afford. I've decided there are enough other areas where I can cut corners and save money, but shoes and foot health are too important to skimp on (I come from a long line of women with bunions!)
