At nine months Otto is pulling up on his Pikler Arch. He sometimes steps as much as the primary rail and today I seen he put one foot as much as the second rail. It takes time, he’s experimenting, he is testing and challenging himself! The Pikler Arch provides a unbelievable opportunity to satisfy his developmental needs in a safe and supervised way.
How we use the arch:
Always supervise. I would not put this within the child’s bedroom. We’ve it in his movement/play space, next to our residing space which is always supervised.
Have it on or near 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 putting a lambswool or thin mattress nearby however so far it’s not needed.
Permit the child to explore it independently. They will use it when they’re ready. There isn’t any have to incentivize or show them how to do it and I might never put a child on it. Just make it available!
Why we like the arch:
It is small. It’s good for the child who’s on the very starting of their climbing, they will use it to drag to standing and there’s no risk of them getting stuck or climbing too high that they can’t get down. The size and the gap between the rails has been designed for infants from crawling.
Implausible for his or her muscle development and coordination. Otto is a great climber and he must climb. He climbs our stairs, couches, equipment on the playground and the arch is another avenue for him to explore.
Assists the child to meet 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.
Assist 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 hands, it enables the infant and allows them to safely use their growing bodies in new and exciting ways.
It brings joy. The Pikler Arch brings pleasure to the child after they realize what they’re 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.
