Independent and sassy daughter

My little girl does not like to be taught new things. When we try to help her walk she just stretches her arms up so that she can slip out of our hands. But the other day my husband came into her room and sat on the floor and she just got up and took like 3 steps......... the one thing is I can’t her to put objects into containers. Like she loves taking toys out of containers and playing with them but she doesn’t like the putting back in. I heard this is good for finger dexterity but my child doesn’t even like me doing that. She takes things out as fast as I put them in. Any tips or things you do to help baby with finger dexterity? Or things to do to help her just listen so I can help her grow? She doesn’t clap or point but she does wave. We don’t have other kids so that may be why...🤷🏼‍♀️
