Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice how to get my 17month old daughter to stop climbing things! She literally will climb anything and has absolutely no Fear. She climbs tables chairs bookcases, desks you name it she climbs it. I always tell her no when ever I catch her before or during climbing something several times and remove her from the room which leads to a massive melt down and tantrums. After having a meltdown she will just go and find something else to climb, it's exhausting. She is always so full of energy, everyone says how full of beans she is. I'm not even exaggerating she will not sit longer than a few minutes and I can't keep her attention on anything at all. I try and sit and play with her but she gets bored within a few minutes. She is completely the opposite to her older sister. She sometimes has a nap for an hour around 11ish but some days she goes with out any naps. She doesn't go to bed before 10/11pm which is exhausting! And then wakes around 3/4am I spoke to the health visitor and she said well she must be tired if she doesn't nap so put her in her cot at 7 and see what happens.... tried it for a week and it was an epic fail! She would scream hysterically until she made herself sick. It was so upsetting so I just couldn't follow it through any longer. She is constantly on the go, but never seems to tire?? I don't understand? She has a healthy balanced diet and eats what we eat. So doesn't have sugar overloads e.g a lot of sweets or chocolate. Can anyone please give me some advice? One stressed mummy!
