Los Angeles:
Hollywood actress Katherine Heigl is worried she is becoming an "obnoxious" parent because she's constantly pushing her daughter to develop quicker.
The Knocked Up star and her husband Josh Kelly adopted little Naleigh, who has learning difficulties, last September last year, Us magazine online reported.
And Heigl admits she has already become the ultimate pushy mum, often blaming herself that the 20-months-old tot hasn't started walking yet.
"I think Josh and I started to get like those obnoxious parents that are a little, like, 'What's wrong with her? Why isn't she walking yet? What are we doing wrong'," she said.
"Now we're, like, pushing her all day, 'Start walking!' (Then) I'll be like, 'Why can't she sit down and play quietly in the corner?' But I figured we're probably fine. She'll start walking. She is starting to talk a little bit more. She says Dada all the time. Of course that was her first word... She points at me and says 'Dada' too. She thinks anyone she loves is Dada. I will her to say Mama," she added.
Asked about another favourite phrase of Naleigh and she said, "She goes, 'Oh yeah' all the time.. I think Josh and I do that a lot when we talk about things and she picked it up."
