Help Your Child Learn To Walk The doctors told me my son would never walk. I refused to believe this. I ordered all of Glen Doman's books and started applying everything I had learned. I had my husband take an iron rod and attach it to our wall. I then took apart a jump and go for infants. I had tent and awning measure my son to make a body suit with metal rings to hook the jump and go to , this was suspended from the ceiling. This way he could bounce or practice walking along the wall without endangering himself. If he fell, he would just bounce back up. I attached stuffed animals and other toys at each end of the wall so he would try to walk over and get them. We also bought a walker even though they are discouraged now a days and practiced walking holding onto his fingers. Later on he was able to use a stand up walker and by age two he was walking independently. If anyone would like the drawing of the device we made in detail, please feel free to contact me, I will gladly give it to you. We took him to the specialist and he said so many times children with cp cannot wald and have to have surgery because their legs fuse together due to lack of use. The device we made, kept this from happening to Jaden along with lots of FAITH and many PRAYERS! GOD is GOOD!!
