How it works
- 1
First, let's get your child interested. Place your child in a sitting or crawling position near the furniture. Put your child's favorite toy just out of reach on top. Say something like, 'Look what's up here!'

Now, encourage your child to use the furniture for support. Gently place your child's hands on the furniture edge if needed. Cheerfully say, 'Can you reach up?'

Let's encourage pulling up! With your child holding the furniture, pat the furniture surface and say cheerfully, 'Up we go! Can you stand up to get your toy?'

If your child reaches standing, celebrate! Clap and say, 'You did it! You're standing!' Let your child hold the furniture and enjoy the view. If they hasn't stood fully, that's okay—praise any effort.
