这篇文章探讨了如何让孩子安全攀爬，作者分享了她在公园陪伴女儿攀爬时遇到的问题，并反思了如何引导孩子安全攀爬的策略。作者强调了观察孩子攀爬能力，避免鼓励孩子攀爬超出能力范围的区域，以及在孩子无法安全下降时提供建议而不是直接抱下。

👧 **观察孩子的攀爬能力，避免鼓励孩子攀爬超出能力范围的区域。** 作者在文章中分享了她的女儿Nora在公园攀爬时，爬上了比以往更高的围栏。虽然Nora很兴奋并要求拍照，但作者意识到如果事先知道Nora会爬这么高，就应该在下面为她做好安全措施。这个案例提醒家长，要观察孩子的攀爬能力，避免鼓励孩子攀爬超出能力范围的区域，确保孩子的安全。

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 **在孩子无法安全下降时，提供建议而不是直接抱下。** 当Nora爬到高处后无法安全下降时，作者尝试引导她自己想办法，而不是直接抱她下来。虽然这个过程比较漫长，但最终Nora在作者的引导下成功地自己爬下了围栏。这个案例表明，在孩子无法安全下降时，家长应该提供建议和引导，而不是直接干预，帮助孩子培养独立解决问题的能力。

🤔 **引导孩子思考安全问题，培养自我保护意识。** 作者在事件发生后，多次引导Nora思考安全问题，让她意识到攀爬高度与安全下降的难度之间的关系。这个方法强调了在日常生活中培养孩子对安全的思考，帮助他们形成自我保护意识。

💡 **根据孩子的特点选择不同的引导方式。** 作者也提到，不同的孩子需要不同的引导方式。对于攀爬能力较强的孩子，需要更注重安全意识的培养，而对于攀爬能力较弱的孩子，则可以采取更加直接的引导方式。

🙏 **家长需要根据孩子的特点和情况，灵活调整引导方式，帮助孩子安全快乐地玩耍。**

A few weeks ago Julia wroteabout how we approach kids climbing:

The basics:

Spot the child if they're doing something where a fall is likely.Don't encourage or help the child to climb something that's beyondtheir ability to do on their own.If they don't know how to get down, give advice rather than physicallylifting them down.Don't allow climbing on some places that are too dangerous.

I was thinking about this some when I was at the park with Nora (3y) afew days ago. She has gotten pretty interested in climbing lately, andthis time she climbed up the fence higher than I'd seen her go before.If I'd known she'd climb this high I would have spotted her. Shecalled me over, very proud, and wanted me to take a picture so thatJulia could see too:

She asked me to carry her down, and I told her I was willing to giveher advice and spot her. She was willing to give this a try, but asshe started to go down some combination of being scared and the thinwire of the fence being painful was too much, and she returned to thethicker horizontal bars.

We tried this several times, with her getting increasingly upset.After a bit Lily came over and tried to help, but was unsuccessful.Eventually I put my hands on Nora's feet and with a mix of guiding and(not ideal) supporting them helped her climb down to the lower bar.She did the rest herself from there, something she's done many times.

This took about fifteen minutes and wasn't fun for any of us: Nora,me, other people at the playground. But over the course of the rest ofthe day I brought it upseveral times, trying to get her to think it through before sheclimbs higher than she would enjoy climbing down from.

(I think this is an approach that depends very heavily on the child'sjudgment maturing sufficiently quickly relative to their physicalcapabilities, and so is not going to be applicable to every family.Lily and Anna were slower to climb and this was not an issue, whileNora has pushed the edges of where this works much more.)
