Pull to stand is a milestone typically seen in which Winder stage?

• A. Stage 2
• B. Stage 3
• C. Stage 4
• D. Stage 5

Answer: (C)

Pull to stand reflects a child moving from a stable seated position into upright, weight-bearing through the legs. This requires developing trunk and hip control, shoulder girdle stability, and the ability to shift weight forward to rise, usually using a support surface. It sits in the progression after independent sitting and before independent walking, signaling a transition from seated stability to upright ambulation. In the Winders staging framework, this is the stage where a child begins to pull up to stand, bridging the gap between sitting and walking. Kids often start this around 8–9 months, with variation among individuals.
