My son loves to climb and it’s for a good reason! A novel challenge after mastering crawling and pulling to stand. This is his happy place 😊 He gets curious and climbing gets him to new heights and objects (hello glasses and remote!). It’s also his fun way to burn his energy down. With regular practice, he is getting less and less help getting up and down the stairs. Now he is crawling his way up, unassisted but with my supervision. Climbing increases my son’s flexibility through stretching and pulling his arms and legs strengthens his large muscles. His fine motors are at peak through grasping and gripping. It has a lot of cognitive benefits that supports his spatial awareness concept like above, below, over and under. My son is quick! So, I make sure that I monitor him closely. #activetoddler https://www.instagram.com/p/B23LXokAxt8/?igshid=1pha3l5jrud2c
