Last year I needed to have some professional hours so I took an Early Learning Guidelines course on physical development of young children. During the course the leader talked about children learning to swing on their own. The correct answer in the course was about 4 years old! I shared with them and let them know we have quite a few 2 year olds that can swing on their own at Children's Circle.
The key is the right equipment and gentle encouragement. Later in the morning one of these children returned to the swing and asked me to push her. I reminded her that she can do it on her own!
