Movie: Gideon WALKS
Babies are not stupid, they know when you're trying to pressure them. It's a counterproductive strategy, really, to try to get them to a milestone they aren't ready to pass.

Instead of letting him hold one finger when we strolled along together, I held him by his overall straps, thereby seeming to give support, and also being in a position to cease doing so if I thought he wouldn't miss it.
