Time On Feet
The 8-Week First Steps Standard. A strength coach's progression for supported walking practice — the exact one I used with my own baby. Bands, sled pushes, surfaces, and the one rule about holding their hands that nobody tells you.
›The readiness test, and what to do when they aren't ready yet
›The Hand Rule — and the elbow injury it prevents
›The band setup, step by step, with the safety limits
›All 8 weeks, from both hands to a band that isn't doing anything
›Daily dose, the surface ladder, and when to stop a session
›A First Steps certificate to fill in when it happens

Before you start: this guide describes one parent's personal experience and is general information only. It is not medical, physical-therapy, or developmental advice. Babies walk anywhere from 9 to 18 months and that whole range is normal. Talk to your pediatrician before starting, supervise every session, and never leave a child unattended with a resistance band.
