From wriggling up the door frame to escaping their cribs, this anxiety-inducing phase is completely normal. Here's how to safely encourage your little climber.
At age two, Lee-Anne Maier’s son, Theo, was still in diapers, but he could climb to the top of the 12-foot net climber at the playground down the street. Maier quickly got used to all the concerned looks from other parents at the park. “He was such a small kid that he looked like a baby climbing that thing! But I would just say, ‘Hey, good job!’ because I was so certain he could do it.”
Even kids who aren’t climbing the walls of your home, like Theo, usually go through a phase around age one or two where they want to climb everything, says Mathilde Duflos, a developmental psychologist in BC., thrilled in climbing up the chairs to stand right on top of the dining room table, and she wanted to play “climb Mama”—where she would hold my hands and scale me—as many times as I would let her.
a popular Instagram account about children’s physical development. “But climbing is hugely beneficial.”Duflos explains that climbing is “a new way for kids to explore the world, and explore their body.” It uses new muscles in a toddler’s shoulders and hips, and they use their core to balance. With every move, their brain has to figure out where each hand and foot should go, and they need to use their coordination to put them in the right spot.
