Up I Go!

Child climbs onto a low object (chair seat, step, couch cushion on floor) without full adult assistance. Parent observes hand placement, strategy, and how much physical support is needed. Safety: parent spots throughout — this is not unsupervised climbing.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Place a low, stable surface in the middle of the room away from sharp corners. Stand directly behind child, arms ready to catch — but do not hold until needed.
