Steps:
1. This task would surely check your child’s physical ability. You need to select an area which is open like living room or garden would be best.
2. Take two wooden planks which are comparatively thin. Place them adjacent to each other.
3. Now offer a simple demo so that the child can observe and learn. You need to stand on these two planks with each leg on one of these planks.
4. Now start walking forward without holding onto anything. Show your child how to place one leg forward and then the other. Ask your kid to try it.
Be there to support him if he loses balance. It would take few days for the child to perfect this task. Do not be harsh on him but cheer him up when he tries. This acts will hone your child's gross motor skills to a large extent.
