Kids normal range for walking is 10-18 months. We shouldnot force kids to walk early .Babies will creep,crawl ,hold onto things and walk side to side--when their leg muscles are strong enough to hold them. All babies will try to make stepping motions when they are held up with their feet near the ground.

1.Hold your baby's hand as it learns balance.When your baby starts crawling, pull her up to the next step of standing.

2.Your baby may find it difficult to balance on a slippery floor.Gently draw elbows towards your baby's body to encourage crawling.

3. Be sure that your child has furniture to hold onto for support.Line chairs against a wall: Put a toy at the end of a line of chairs to encourage your baby to hold onto chairs and reach a toy.

4.Your child will probably only walk one or two steps before looking for support, so be close.

5.Your baby's legs may not be ready to support her/him, so don't push your baby too early. Before teaching your baby to walk, check out your home for sharp corners, ledges, and stairs.

6.When your child starts to stand on their own, give them support until they are ready to go on their own.

7.Motivate a curious baby with toys in places that are out of reach unless standing.Hold a hook and guide your baby to step or crawl through it.

8.Before teaching your baby to walk, check out your home for sharp corners, ledges, and stairs.Give your child toys for pushing and pulling, which encourages walking.

9.Teach your baby how to bend its knees so your baby can sit down without difficulty.
