Playgrounds are very well suited to this and there is hardly a child who doesn't enjoy spending time here.<\/p>\n<p>Many parents will ask themselves whether they should stay out of the sometimes daring activities in the playground or at home, or whether they should always stay just an arm's length away from their offspring to avoid falls and injuries.<\/p>\n<p>It only makes sense to intervene if the child is obviously in danger.  If this is not the case, you can keep your distance and rely on your child's natural instincts to guide them.  In most cases, they will ask for help if they need it.<\/p>\n<p>Play equipment and surfaces are often equipped in such a way that the risk of injury is quite low, some are even equipped with a surface consisting of mats.  Nevertheless, you should learn to assess your child's abilities in order to protect them from dangers that they are not yet able to recognise themselves.<\/p>\n<p>This applies in particular to metal ladders with large gaps between the rungs or steep ascents to climbing frames.<\/p>\n<p>A rather anxious child should not be encouraged too much to try it on their own, as there is usually a good reason for this reluctance, namely that the child is not yet ready and does not yet trust their body.<\/p>\n<p>These children are particularly susceptible to developing anxiety when faced with tasks that seem too daunting, and negative experiences here mean that their self-confidence develops even more poorly and they therefore need more rather than less help from adults.<\/p>\n<p>It would be completely wrong to compare a child with another child of the same age in order to show them that they should already be able to do these things, or at least try.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sobald ein Kleinkind zu laufen beginnt, ist es nicht mehr zu halten und bewegt sich in rasantem Tempo von einem Ort zum anderen, erkundet dabei wie eine Biene alle Dinge, die es auf seinem Weg entdeckt.
