Princess Kate's nephew wins heart for his confident outdoor moments.
James Middleton and Alizee's young son Inigo Gabriel will celebrate his second birthday on September 21-a milestone that could bring big changes for the couple.
Parenting author and retired midwife Rachel Fitz-Desorgher has cautioned that Inigo's transition into 'toddlerhood' may shake up the family dynamic.
She explained that his stage is crucial period in a child's development-socially, physically, and emotionally and warned that the infamous 'terrible twos' are often 'notoriously' challenging for parents.'
However, Fitz-Desorgher told Hello! Magazine she believes James and Alizee are more than prepared for the challenges ahead, based on what they have revealed about their parenting style.
She pointed to a recent glimpse into their family life shared by James on Instagram. In the video, filmed by the royal relative himself, little Inigo enjoyed a woodland adventure with his mother.
In one clip, the toddler was seen scrambling up a rocky slope while Alizee looked on proudly.
'Even when the climb is tricky for such a young tot, his mum doesn't interfere or help in any way but simply and confidently walks ahead, allowing her son to find his own solutions,' Fitz-Desorgher observed.
In another light hearted moment, Inigo playfully hit his mother's backpack with a stick and tried-unsuccessfully-to push her into a stream.
To the expert, these moments reflected James and Alizee's success in nurturing their son's growing independence and confidence.
