Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi a, I guess if she was 2yr old and climbed a bookshelf I wouldnt worry about it but my other 3 kids never climbed to this extent.I mean she climbs on everything and anything to get up high. she even makes me hold her all the time, not to be held but to be up high. I will hold her but if I sit down she has a fit because she only wanted me to hold her to be higher than what she can attain on her own. I have never seen a child " normal " or not scale the sides of counters with her feet, scale the legs of tables with her feet, pile everything she can get a hold of to just get up as high as possible on something. Not even to get anything....just to be up there. I can't believe no one else has had this problem. I bet she would climb up on the roof if she could find a way. But thanks I'm glad I made you laugh. -christine -- In , mfroof@... wrote: > > <<has anyone had any huge problems with climbing on EVERYTHING? My 3yr > climbs on everything in the house.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 , my friend's son with DS used to climb the fridge constantly at around age 3 or 4 I think...no Autism involved. But his 2 year younger " normal " brother used to climb into the kitchen sink and dishdrainer at the same time. Mealtimes were great fun lol. I know this must be scary because it certainly sounds dangerous but I'm at a loss as to what a solution might be. Vaseline on the bottom of her feet????

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 This was my son, a climber when he was a youngster. I really just kept an Eagle out for him and did allow it when safe, just to get it out of his system. He did fall out of a window once when he was under someone's care. I use to do this when I was a youngster, no disability that I know of, I was such a tomboy, you name it climbed everywhere. Boy, if I did it and enjoyed it, this is why I had allowed him to, was my thought back then. I was not aware of the autism or sensory integration back when he was about the latter part of 2 -3 y/o. Just thought " boy will be a boy " . When he was about 7-13 y/o out at the football stadium, such a monkey climbing over the bleachers and thensome. He did outgrow it once a sensory diet was implemented. How about trying some books placed in a backpack to wear, something like wearing a weight vest. Sounds like an explorer and sensory seeker. Taking her out maybe to one of those places where nowadays there are so much where there are those Moonwalks, etc. Maybe this will help decrease it.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sherry, Thank you, I needed that laugh! I love the vaseline idea, don't think I havent thought the same thing. I just hope this passes because it is dangerous and with everything else I have going on with the other kids, I can't just stand by her side and keep removing her from the table, counter tops, kitchen sink (where she just broke a glass the other day) the fish tank etc. I just feel so frustrated because my house is like a maze of baby gates in every door way, knobs off of drawers, no chairs etc. I want to have my house back to somewhat of a normal state. I feel like I'm in jail and I can never relax even for a moment. I'm tired - -- In , " gldcst " wrote: > > , > my friend's son with DS used to climb the fridge constantly at around age 3 or 4 I think...no Autism involved.
