Although some children are walking very well at 15 months, other children prefer to take their time and do things when they are ready to. However, for your own peace of mind, it would be a good idea to talk to your paediatrician who will do an overall developmental assessment. This will decide whether further assessment or therapy is necessary.
Sometimes, if a child falls when he tries to walk, he loses confidence, and decides to wait until he feels steadier on his feet, to take his first steps. Very often, when this happens, the child will simply get up and walk properly, without stumbling or falling over.
The best thing to do is to not compare your child to other children of his age – children are all different and develop at different times, when they are ready. However, if it concerns you to such an extent that you are thinking about it constantly, then by all means speak to your paediatrician. You could find that the visit was for nothing, but at least you will have peace of mind.
