Charlie is nearly 17 months old (the same age as your baby, @domane , if I'm not much mistaken). He's very bold and confident, but he doesn't seem to have a clue where his feet are a lot of the time.
It's a delight to lead him over poles because he doesn't give a fig for them. Is it too soon to raise them a teensy bit off the ground so that he thinks more about where he is putting his feet? I could walk around the pole myself and lead him over, because he's happy to cross an obstacle even if I don't (Ziggy wouldn't go over a pole at all unless I showed him that it wouldn't hurt him). If I do raise them, should I raise both ends or only one?
