Question about walking

I was just wondering if too much walking for my 2 year old is bad?

I can usually can walk with my daughter in the evening. But now she is getting to where she wants to walk instead of be in stroller. Is it Ok for her to walk a mile or so?

Or do you think I should just she how she reacts?

if she gets tired, she'll let you know.

don't let her run any 10k's, though.  kids under 12 shouldn't do that ;)

I am talking about walking around the neighborhood! That is what I was thinking too. I figured as long as she is having a good time it should be OK.

Oh, yes, definitely let her walk, or even run, as long as she wants to!  My two year old can walk all day at a slow pace, like when we go to the zoo or a museum.  It's good for her, and will probably help her sleep better (YES!!).  Kids that little aren't going to push themselves farther than they should, exercise-wise.  Just make sure her shoes are comfortable, so she doesn't end up with blisters.

I agree.  My 3yo walks with me, but when she is tired she gets in the carriage (or just sits down and demands to be carried! lol).  Even on rainy days, she needs to "move", so we put on the Wii, she gets in her horse costume and runs around the livingroom in circles (wish I were so motivated!).  She is even #1 on free run.   Kids have a better idea of what their bodies need when it comes to exercise and food.  Plus it is great that you two can walk together.  Joint family exercise makes everyone more likely to keep with it.  Enjoy your walking!  C

I never thought about doing the wii with her I am sure she will like it.

Well we went on our little walk last night. About half through it she wanted to be carried so I had to carry her home which I guess was good for me because I got a better workout. Then we get all the way home and she went straight to the car wanting me to get out the stroller. I was like no way I am tired!

Oh, I guess I should have mentioned to bring the stroller for when she gets tired, at least until you know about how far she will go.  They really start getting heavy quickly at this age!

I thought about bringing a stroller but my daughter has no fear and she will do some crazy stuff(like going up to strange dogs) and I wanted to be able to get her quicky.

No fear, huh?  Never heard that in connection with 2 year olds! *snickers in the background* My first was a pretty cautious kid.  My second I fully believe thinks she has nine lives like a cat (she's two now). Glad she enjoyed the walk, and good for you for taking her!
