Toe walking is common in kids and can be insignificant or it can be of great importance. Many kids just like to walk around on their toes and have a full range of ankle joint motion so they can get the heel down to the ground and have no underlying problems causing the toe walking. However, in some kids the toe walking can be a sign of and underlying neurological problem (eg cerebral palsy) or behavioural problem (eg Autism). For that reason toe walking needs to be taken very seriously and thoroughly investigated to rule out any of those underlying causes. If there is no underlying problem, then the child will generally stop toe walking in due course.
