Competence
It is very important that you allow your infant/toddler the opportunity to do for herself. If you are at the park and your toddler wants to climb the spider web allow her to do it just guide her, stand close by to help if she miss step on the rope. When you pick up the toddler and put her at the top of the web you do not allow that learning to take place. She miss the opportunity to work on the following skills: gross motor, eye hand coordination problem solving ,critical thinking and self-confidence. When your infant feels competent it build self-esteem and that is a part of school readiness skills. Brain development is taking place all the time and every moment is a moment of discovery for infants/toddlers.
