Claire started to cruise the house at ten months. By the time she turned eleven months, she was walking on her own. No, she never had the chance to try using a walker. And after she turned one year old just a month ago, she is all over the house. She can climb the stairs which gives us heart attack and usually hides under our dining table. Yes, she can play hide and seek now. I think it’s all because her playmates were all boys including Joshua who treats her as a grown-up – not babyish treatment.
As my mom usually says to me, she can no longer be out of our sight. Here’s what BabyCenter says on how to handle a toddler that loves to climb.
- Provide safe climbing options
- Supervise, but don’t stress out
- Teach your child to climb down
- Accept that kids fall
- Divert and distract
- Climb proof your house
- Discipline effectively
