Teaching your child to run

Eloise runs like Phoebe on Friends. I'm not kidding. Anyone who has ever seen Eloise run, knows what I'm talking about. She flails her arms and her legs whip out to the side. And she looks to the side when she runs or walks. We frequently say, "Look up" (meaning look straight ahead) this results in her looking up to the sky.

How do you teach your child to run properly? Or do you just leave this topic alone and hope that they will outgrow this hilarious looking stride or hope they don't turn out for the track team. I'm thinking this lack of coordination has more to do with her extremely fast growth in height than it does her true running skills

On the same token, how do you teach them to pay attention when they are walking. Eloise has a knack for running into walls, people at the mall, tables, you name it, she runs into it. It's exhausting having to pay attention for 2 of us. I need some ideas.
