What to try
- Find slopes to walk up or down when you are out for a walk or when you go shopping.
- It might take you a little longer, but your toddler will benefit from the experience of walking up and down a variety of hills, ramps and slopes.
- You might not think much of the gradient, but your toddler might find a different angle a little more challenging, so give them plenty of time and encouragement.
Good to know
Your toddler might find it difficult to control their speed when walking down a slope, so always check what is at the bottom and make sure the area is safe, as they might get faster as they go down and find it hard to stop.
