These tasks of reaching or doing these kinds of things must be done by the child. You are seriously hurting the child for all the future years to come if you do it for them. Making it easier for the child takes away the experiences required for future developments. At this age your child will complain of his or her first growing pains. Ankles, leg muscles, and knees are very painful and really are hurting the child.
Joints are too large for limbs and cause nerves to be pinched.
Feet may fall asleep. The more the child walks, the more the swelling of ankles. Child will grow out of this by 10 years of age. Expose child to large crowds such as stores. Pre-school is recommended.
