My DD is 22 months old. She was crawling at 6 months, walking at 8 and has always been very physical. She can't talk at all though - always seems to be one or the other, doesn't it?! She loves climbing and I prefer to let her climb when possible (I. E. At parks and soft play) to avoid her climbing when she shouldn't (I. E. Onto the table and up the stairs alone.)
We have a park near us we visit once or twice per month that has a climbing frame around 8 ft tall. DD has been able to climb the net up to it since she was about 15 months old. I climb right behind her so could catch her if she slipped. I was at this park with her today and got absolutely ripped into by a lady with her granddaughter who said it was ridiculous to let her climb there and that she'll end up killing herself...! Her granddaughter was around three years old and not allowed on the climbing frame at all. There were no other children at the park to knock into my DD and I was up there with her so I didn't see the issue and told her so, only to be called a disgrace. wibu?
