At nine months Otto is pulling up on his Pikler Arch. He typically steps up to the first rail and at the moment I seen he put one foot up to the second rail. It takes time, he’s experimenting, he’s testing and difficult himself! The Pikler Arch provides a unbelievable opportunity to fulfill his developmental wants in a safe and supervised way.
How we use the arch:
Always supervise. I wouldn’t put this within the child’s bedroom. We’ve got it in his movement/play space, subsequent to our living space which is always supervised.
Have it on or close to a soft or padded surface. I wouldn’t put the arch directly on hard tiles. Ours is on a wool rug which works fine. I considered placing a lambswool or thin mattress close by but up to now it’s not needed.
Allow the child to discover it independently. They will use it when they are ready. There isn’t a must incentivize or show them easy methods to do it and I would never put a child on it. Just make it available!
Why we like the arch:
It is small. It’s excellent for the child who is at the very starting of their climbing, they can use it to tug to standing and there is no risk of them getting stuck or climbing too high that they can not get down. The dimensions and the space between the rails has been designed for infants from crawling.
Fantastic for his or her muscle development and coordination. Otto is a good climber and he needs to climb. He climbs our stairs, couches, equipment at the playground and the arch is another avenue for him to explore.
Assists the child to fulfill developmental needs. Climbing, exploring, testing limits and capabilities are real developmental needs. When the child’s developmental wants are met they are generally more settled, calm and happy.
Help the child to develop spatial awareness.
Because of the design, it empowers babies. T,he steps are small, they’ll use the rails to drag up with their fingers, it enables the infant and permits them to safely use their rising our bodies in new and exciting ways.
It brings joy. The Pikler Arch brings joy to the child after they realize what they are capable of after they fulfill their aim. I can see Otto beam with pride when he climbs up on it.
Assists children to develop to their full potential.
