Iâve been walking on my toes since the first time I started walking and didnât stop until I was 11, I had to go into surgery to fix it. Itâs not an autism trait, my Achillesâ tendon was just way to short...the surgery was helpful and now I walk perfectly fine.
D A T B O I B E N S O N does the surgery hurt
@@yxngking1758 every surgery hurt :) I think
I had a serious injury caused by my toes walking tendencies, bursite rétrocalcannéene, I had to walk with crutches and do physiotherapy at 30ish years old....
I also have plantar fasciitis and knees problems due to this. I am soon 35 and my kids does toes walking too....
Brilliant video! Covered a lot of great ideas in a concise, easy to understand manner.
Thank you! We hope you've found this resource helpful!
Thank you for the great tips. My son, who is now 11, has been doing this for some years. And although we are proactive in getting him to walk "flat foot" he still struggles with this *habit. But yeah, will definitely give this a try. Thank you.
My 7 year old daughter has autism and she always walks on her toes....I actually found this video very helpful....thanks âș
Was it helpfull?
I donât have autism but, god I get bullied for walking on my toes. Iâm sure everyone here can relate, I get questions every damn day about âwhy are you walking like that?â
For me it's more like 'stop walking like that or I'm bringing out the stick'
Same its so unfair because I always have to explain to them that I canât stop and i canât control it đ„ș
My dad scolds me for doing it and since I ride horses I have to put my heel down .. I mean itâs a good excersize since my heel doesnât go that far and my feet usually ache after I donât really ride often anyway tbh
My 2 year old toddler walks on her tiptoes her pediatrician says it's normal even when she had started walking they told me she will grow out of it.
Thznk you do much..from the Phil..looking forward for more videos ma'amđ
You are most welcome! We have more series coming up, so stay tuned!
I walk on my tip toes and my mother hates it, so i'm searching up how to stop it.

HeyItz_Ari same

Abigayle Ware same donât worry I have been doing it to
I only get basically threatened by my dad and my mom just keeps telling me over and over again. The only reason I'm not noticed by the walking mostly is because I'm tiny and mostly bones. I'm literally called a 'tiny goblin' or just compared by small things and having the thing be called bigger than me
My daughter since 3 years old started tip toeing sheâs 8 now still tip toe, sheâs Autistic . Thank you!
Hello, thank you for sharing. We hope you found some useful strategies from this video!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one

My 6 mth old baby walk on tip toe of one foot only ...give some suggestions... left foot is normal

My daughter is 5. I'm getting her therapy soon. I hope you get the therapy you need! It's okay to ask for help!
Helpful
okay. I have walked like this ever since I was a child and have no autism. this is not an autistic trait!
Tripper Stars ikr ppl thought that when I was little I was like . W t fffffffff
I still do it lol. Itâs just a GOD DAM PROBLEM I WAS BORN WITH JESUS PPL LESVE ME ALONE me in PE: * running* *someone I see every yr and never talk to runs up to me* ây do u walk on ur tippy toesâ Iâm like JESUS CHROIST IVE SAID IT A MIIIILKLLLLLLIIOONN TIMES I WAS BOOORN LIKE THAT AURGGH
xXGaming PikachuXx this happens to me too!
I thought I was the only one oh my God watching these videos was my best desicion today! I mean I don't walk like it anymore but this is still making me feel a Lil better seeing other people also struggling with this. I was kinda laughed at and I get still reminded of those times I walked differently and don't I get embarrassed and laughed at... It's hell when it happens. I also had other weird physical habits, so I was pretty darn weird. Stopping it all doesn't even help, kids don't forget stuff like that and it will always be haunting me.
Tripper Stars not all toe walkers are autistic, but a lot of autistic people are toe walkers. My son is a toe walker and is not autistic
Thanks for the video,pllease I have a 3y/o autistic child,who dosnt like writing,she can't even trace independently,how can I help her?
Hello, you are most welcome. We would recommend checking through if your child have all the foundational skills such as attention, imitation, cooperation, functional communication and receptive understanding before teaching her to write. As these foundational skills will also be helpful in helping her follow instructions, imitate and attend to the task. We would also recommend starting off with simple tasks such as scribbling or colouring first before more complex skills such as tracing. We would recommend for her to be reinforced with high motivation as well once she does the task.
If you would like to find out more about how to teach new skills to a child with autism, do check out our "Teaching a Child with Autism" series on our channel:

Thank you for doing job my son is 5 years old some times heâs walking right but 90% walks tip toe do in need to do surgery or keep pushing him to walk nicely? 2, which website can get to buy for prevent tip toe walking shoes thanks
Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. If there are no underlying medical reasons for the tip-toe behavior, we would recommend to put the behavior on extinction. From a behavioral standpoint, we would encourage using rules and visuals to teach him the expectations. We would also recommend practice walking nicely and rewarding him should he demonstrate that behavior. He could also wear high-cut shoes but in no means are they weighted ones to help him in his practices.
As for weighted shoes, it is not our expertise to advise and we would recommend getting advice from a medical professional on the need for weighted shoes. However, we do believe that tip-toe behaviors should not be left without intervention as it could lead to serious medical conditions. We hope this is helpful.
If you have further questions or enquiries, please reach out to us at enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and our team will get in touch with you. Thank you.
Thank you

Is it possible that my son is autism if he do tip toing but beside that no other sign.injust bother sometimes
Hi, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend consulting a professional in the field (such as a paediatrician) for a proper assessment in this matter.

Hello and thank you for reaching out. You can try out our strategies shown in the video such as wearing heavier shoes, practice walking on a slanted surface or doing some stretches to stretch out the muscles. If it is still a challenge, we would encourage for you to seek medical advice from a doctor who should be able to help you in this area.

Hello, thank you for reaching out. We would encourage you to seek for a doctor's advise on the physiological areas regarding your child's tip-toeing. At the same time, we would also encourage for you to practice these behavioral strategies and pairing them up with strong reinforcers.
Iâve been doing this ever since I was born
Same

That's great to know!
An equally important question: *Why* do I stop my child from tip-toeing?
1:18 Is there anything wrong with the arch developing that way, other than a preference for high-heel shoes later in life?
Dr. Stewart Says: Walking without heel strike is fine. Heels are for resting. Take short strides on your toes and engage them with the ground. You doubters try it. Become like a dancer taking very short and very quick steps. You almost float as you walk.
I am supporting a 5 year old autistic kid. How do I stop him from fleeing.
The first chance he gets he flees the room.
Hello and thank you for reaching out. One of the key areas that we look at in ensuring a successful session and time with our kiddos is the area of motivation. Pairing yourself with strong motivation such as activities or items that the child loves may help him stay with you for longer periods of time.
In regards to fleeing from the room, a preventative strategy that can be put in place to reduce the practice of this behavior is to ensure that the door is locked (you might have to install a lock that is higher and out of reach from the child if needed to). We would also have to look further into why is he running out of the room (function of the behavior) to better understand and put in more effective preventative, teaching and reactive strategies.
We hope you will find this helpful. Please feel free to check out our Play Series and our Managing Challenging Behaviors series on our CZcams page to find out more ideas and strategies to maintain a child's motivation as well as some ways to manage behaviors that occur. Have a good day!
@@autismmalaysia thank you for answering.
I think he leaves because of boredom and curiosity.
Unfortunately the situation is not ideal. I am supporting him in a classroom in school with other kids.
I did my best to make account of his interest. I bought him a bubble gun and I used that as motivation. It did wonders until the stupid class teacher decided that it interferes with the lessons of the other kids and first chance she got she took it. She blamed it on a throw cleaning they had to do and said it was misplaced.
And now I don't have it anymore.
It's quite annoying because she took a tool that gave results with him and she disrupted his routine.
That's why I plan to change my assignment. That environment is not proper for his development and I am not going to be a glorified babysitter and do their dirty work while they pretend to help him and while he is not able to receive the help he needs.
Hello, thank you for sharing. We may need more information to be able to provide you with a more comprehensive plan and strategy. If you would like to speak further, please do not hesitate to send in your enquiries to enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and our team will be able to guide you along. Thank you.
My child uses too much his fingers, as if he reads alphabets he create his own sign language what should I do???đ„ș
Hi Dan, thank you for reaching out to us. We would typically try to understand why he likes to use his fingers or what he uses them for. There are a few possibilities such as it being a communication tool to communicate his needs and wants - sign language is a great communication tool! We can also teach him to use his words or communicative devices if he has one.
However, this behavior could also be a self-stimulatory behavior which we would then try to find appropriate replacement behaviors for it such as holding on to fidgets.
We hope that this is helpful. If you would like to speak more with our team on more specific strategies, please feel free to contact us at enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and we would love to get in touch with you. Thank you and have a great day!
hi
ok good đđ
My baby is 13 months old he walk on his toes by holding things...m very worried how to teach him proper walk by himself
Same here my child also
Howâs your baby now.my son walking in toes and he is just 1 year and 2 months
I'm gonna guess the same thing I said in the other comment but basically take ribbon and wrap the foot kinda like a brace. I didn't try this but I say ribbon because it's flat, comfortable, and not irritating. I suggest doing some research though
Thatâs normal for babyâs under 3 or 4 since thatâs the first walk they know and then usually they move into flat footed since u can tend to fall over a lot on tip toes but when I was little 8 took tip toeing as an advantage at winning races I was very fast kept doing now I have this terrible habit Iâm still doing it Iâm scared to surgery or anything like that
My grandbaby waking on her tip toe she's is one ready to turn 2 and I'm worried
Hi, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend trying out the strategies in this video first and if it is too challenging, we would advise seeking professional medical help from a doctor on this. Hoping for the best for her!
How Can I stop my one year??
You could try doing the thing like wearing shoes inside but I think ribbon wrapped around the foot and ankle as a brace could kinda help but I'm no expert so I suggest you look it up
My daughter is 3 and she picked up that habit from a neighbor's child. I absolutely hate it
Hello and thank you for sharing. We hope you have found this video helpful.
1:40 'and if they start tip-toeing then just softly tap their shoulders and bring them down'
My dad: 'if you keep doing that I'll make sure I tell everyone around you to hit your feet if they see you do that again'
I walk on my tip toes..
my baby was born a healthy baby shes 19months dosent walks? in she stands up on tipi toes her doctor said is normal
Walking on the balls of our feet is biologically natural. I believe your information is flawed.
Hello does your daughter walk flat now?
Wait does that mean I had autism all this time-
i walk on my tippy toes :c
I have been walking on my tippy toes for 12 years not a single problem plus I'm faster than most of the girls because I walk on my tippy toes checked with doctors totally fine
Sam mcilvaine same except 10 yrs for me; Iâm 11 and the doctor says I have to do stretches and stuff or surgery cri and also once in PE we did this Zumba thing and u had to go up and down I CANT it hurts and my toes look like theyâve been strangled I donât think I can go back anymore to it huRTs
Ask the skeptics and your critics and your doctors one question to shut them up. Ask me for the question. tpsdpm@gmail.com
I have a 8 yr old tip toeâer ... who I know for a fact, isnât autistic
May I ask all of you ...
Have u ever tried to walk flat foot
Have u ever had surgery
Do u do physical therapy
Or just ignore it & carry on
& if youâve tried flat foot ... does it feel unnatural to you or does it hurt
Not normal. I grew up with a tippy toe kid in school. Poor guy got picked on his whole life. He is 35 and still single. Not trying to hate on anyone but your parents should of fixed this at a young age. Its called NEGLECT
I'm the second fastest in my third fastest in my class even with the seventh graders ( btw they bully me sometime saying why do you walk like that) and ima boy

I have a 4 year old walking on her tip toe she is doing physical therapy now
Iâm 11 and Iâve been walking on my top toes all my life. My grandma puts these 2 pound ankle weights on me to help a little bit but I donât know if you would wanna do that with a four year old.
My 4 year old was just evaluated yesterday. He will have therapy twice a week.
Iâm 16 Iâve been doing this didnât know itâs a problem how can I quit
Hello, thank you for reaching out to us. If there are no medical reasons underlying the tip-toeing, we would recommend to practice walking with feet on the ground. This is because tip-toeing for long periods of time could lead to more serious medical conditions if not intervened.
Should you have further questions on this topic, please reach out to us at enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and our team would be happy to get connected with you. Thank you.
From Chinese Medicine prospective, tip toe walking is a sign of "kidney" system problem. Cast or surgery would not help to solve the problem
Walking on the forefoot is the proper way to walk. I dare you to challenge my assertion.
what is autism ? my baby girl was premature 7th month and she is now 2 and half years old still walking on tip toes can any one help me please??
This is fake,I walk on my tiptoes.Surgery?Fake!Foot braces?Fake!Dislike 4 me 4 lying 2 kids.

Queen cookie chan surgery is needed. It's not fake.
autism is a neurodevelpmental condition
Shahan Sheikh I don't have autism and ive walked like this ever since I was a child.
Would ankle weights help?
Hi, we typically would not use ankle weights as our first option and would try the strategies mentioned in the video first.If you would like to find out more or have further discussions on this, we would love to get in touch with you. Please feel free to send your enquiries to enquiries@autismmalaysia.com.
Thank you.
@@autismmalaysia thanks for your response, will get in touch.
I want to stop talking on my tippy toes
Dr. Stewart Says: Wear the hidden high heel tennis shoes that hide what you are doing and no one will know your secret.
im 10 and i NEVER let my heel on the ground. NU UH FOR SURGERY I WOULD RATHER BE CALLED A KANGAROO BY MY MOM AND STAY TILL MY AFTERLIFE
êêȘê€êê êêêêŠêȘê ê êê©ê I wish I was normal.
Scott if your normal you would be boring things like this make a people unique , donât blame yourself and wish you were normal just say that your unique and you accept that and it might not be the best but just think of it as a blessing
To all of you walking on your tippy toes your parents could of fixed it when you were kids. Its called NEGLECT
Shut up do you even toe walk you don't know what it's like
Ya know it's not easy to fix a kid who started as a 6 year old and is always not aware of what she's doing and once she starts doing something she won't stop AND does the opposite of what you say sometimes for fun. It's not about being neglected its the kid not taking it seriously and can't help it. So you can't say anything because you don't know what their situation is
When we were kids a lot of things weren't recognised yet and diagnosis almost non existent. Ignorance is not neglect.
