“My First Horizontal Bar” explained in 4 pictures

I came to the park with Mom. Oh, there’s a horizontal bar. It’s a low bar that little children can touch too. “I want to try!” I feel so excited.

🤔 When you find a horizontal bar, how do you feel? Excited?

First, hold the bar with both hands, tight. Mom is right next to me, supporting my body. Don’t let go—hold on firmly. If you feel scared, it’s okay to say, “Mom, help me.”

🤔 When you use the horizontal bar, what do your hands do? You hold on tight, right?

Swing, swing. My body moves back and forth. I can hang because my little hands are holding on. Mom is right beside me, so I feel safe.

🤔 How is your body moving while you swing? Back and forth?

I slowly put my feet down and got off the horizontal bar. Mom praised me and said, “You did it!” I could swing, and it makes me happy. Let’s play together at the park again.

🤔 When you can do it, how do you feel? Happy? Do you want to try one more time?
