My 13months old daughter hates wearing shoes!!!?

my 13months old daughter hates wearing shoes. whenever she puts them on, she starts pulling them and striking the floor in order to take them off. even when I force her to stand up with them , she sits on the floor crying loudly and pulling them off. I thought that the problem was with her first shoes but it wasn't bec I tried with another very comforttable pair and still the same problem. Any suggestions to elt her get used to the shoes??thanks

My 13months old daughter hates wearing shoes!!!?
Parents I know who have had this problem have done these things:





Robbies (soft mocassins...shoe like but not hard soles)


Sandals (some kids just want to move their toes around)





Or, just put regular shoes on her for a few minutes. Every day increase the time she wears them. Point out other people who wear shoes (including you and other kids). Act like wearing shoes is really fun. Toddlers will start to accept something if the adult is persistent and positive about it.
Reply:Let her wear socks indoors. Don't push the shoes on her, and if you go buy a pair, buy the ones she likes. Thank you.
Reply:They may uncomfortable. However, at that age my pediatricain told me to let my daughter walk around bear foot when ever possible. I do not remember why. If she does not need shoes on at the time, let her be free. My motherhood rule is I save my fights for the big ones, who cares amount the small ones.
Reply:Dont worry about her wearing shoes.At that age they dont like wearing them. When she gets a little older try moccasons or sandals.
Reply:Any chance the shoes are too small or too tight. My 21 month old just got new shoes and we found out the other ones she was kicking off were 2 sizes too small. Their feet grow fast. Until kids are walking outside all the time they really don't need shoes. Bare feet is best for balance.
Reply:I work at a day care and the children have to wear shoes at all times, ( fire code issue). When the little ones want to take off their shoes, we have a pair of sock we put over their shoes. This keeps the shoes on and makes them forget about wanting to take them off, breaking the habit and ending the game.
Reply:Just let her not wear shoes! Socks on a baby are just fine and if she likes slippers (cute ones) maybe you could try that for a while!


My daughter use to hate to wear CLOTHES!! Try that when you have company-LOL!
Reply:Just be glad summer's coming. At her age she's better off barefoot or in socks so she can use her feet to balance and practice walking and running.
Reply:How long has your daughter been walking? Are you putting soft soled shoes or hard soles on her?





Just a suggestion...I used a shoe called Baby Paws on my son until he had been walking for a few months, then went to a soft soled shoe. Baby paws are a leather show, much like a moccasin ( http://www.babypaws.com/products.htm ) .


Developmentally, barefoot is best though unless she is out walking on rough surfaces.





In any case, it's not worth fighting with her about it now. Soon enough you will be fighting with her about how many pairs of shoes she is buying!
Reply:The shoes must be painful for her to wear!!! Shoes, at her age, are only an accessory to clothing. When it becomes necessary for her to wear them, take her to a shoe specialty store for an accurate fitting... she may require it. Good Luck to her!!!
Reply:They slow her down. My children I never rushed into shoes. Let her take her time. Heck its a blessing she walks.
Reply:I don't like putting my kids in shoes for a while, my daughter is 16 months old and has just got hr 1st pair of hard soled shoes. It is apparently better for kids to go without shoes for a while as it improves their stability. Maybe get her to try a pair of your shoes and then when you present her shoes to her make a big deal about it. Tell her to run around and jump or dance. They love being the centre of attention so get her to show dad/nan/poppy her new shoes.
Reply:keep trying to get her to put them on for a few minutes a day and gradually build up.tell her how pretty she is when she wears them and try offering a reward when she keeps them on for a little while.eventually she'll get used to them.try using shoes that still have very soft soles.their feet are still tender at this age.
Reply:Most shoes are uncomfortable for new walkers. Maybe you should try leather toddler shoes. Check out this website. My baby wore them and it's like wearing socks, but they keep their little feet protected. I know they sell them at Stride Rite.
