Facing Fears: Slow Progress

Defeated by the rock wall, we decided to have Dexy try the climbing tower.  Again, he resisted. He asked Daddy to hold him so he didn't fall. We stood firm and told him he could do this all by himself.

We finally said Daddy would keep a hand on him to make sure he doesn't get hurt if he falls. Ben showed him where to put his hands and feet.

I encouraged him to keep looking up to where he wanted to go. Dexy's face is priceless - he's worried, not sure he can do it. But we kept encouraging him and he kept going.

Before he knew it he had reached the top and was very proud of himself!
