This is an excellent point! Teach children, even very young ones, - TopicsExpress



          

This is an excellent point! Teach children, even very young ones, with small do-able steps. I like using sing-song instructions or mantra-like phrases the kids can easily remember. For example, when I taught my kids how to go down stairs when they were toddlers, I said this each time we approached the stairs: Back up. Turn around. Tummy down. Legs go first! -I also demonstrated backing up toward the first step, turning my tummy to the stairs and feeling my way down with my feet. Yes, I looked funny, and yes, it took a long time to get down the stairs, but they learned very quickly how to get down stairs safely. :)
