so you let yours climb up the slide?
I dont due to the potential accidents and an incident today proved my point.
at the park my son was waiting at the top of the slide to come down, another child decided to climb up got nearly to the top then my son decides to come down , normaly he waits till the kids are off the slide but he was fed up with this kid cause he was constantly climbing up it, anyway he knocked the kid of the slide, i instantly went over and made him appologise to the child and parent as did i, i then helped the parent check the child or bumps and bruises which there wernt neither of us saw how he fell so may not of been head first, but she kept saying to the child 'do you feel il or funny , r u ok, do you want to lay down,' talk about pampering, if it were my child i would have said oh dear up you get lets have a look at your bump then cuddled, rub better (apply first aid if needed) then encourage to go and play but keep a close eye but no this parent, major pampering then she anonced that she was taking him to hospital even thoug the kid got up and walked away quite happily. at this point i walked away and refused to get involved further, I cant belive the fuss she made, in my oppinion he shouldnt have been climbing up the slide in the first place which is why i wonded what every one else thought.
