Son constantly climbing tv cabinet

How do I stop him from doing this I'm constantly telling him to get down and putting him back on the floor he's at the age where he's testing the boundaries. Any ideas as I'm constantly going round in circles trying to stop him from pulling the tv off the wall and hurting himself.

Has he got something else he can climb instead? X

My son has been doing same

The slide outside but not very good when it's raining. :(

I got a climbing arch and attachment for £40 from FB marketplace. It works a treat for when he wants to climb.

I’d get something indoors so you can redirect him to something he can climb on! We got a pikler triangle that comes with a slide (climbing steps on the other side) and it really helped x

I don’t think climbing toys are the answer because you’re just teaching them climbing is okay in the house. Just keep re directing the behaviour I think is the way forward x

Distraction is often key! Try and encourage him to come away from it and play with a toy he loves. When my son started testing boundaries, often reacting to it and telling him no a lot made him want to do it even more (like touching radiators or throwing things 😬). But if you can distract him and make him forget about it, it can help for a while! Only just this week have we turned a bit of a corner with my son stopping throwing his cup/cutlery from the table after I gave him the sternest no I could muster, but that's after a year of dealing with the behaviour 🫠😂

Taking the kids to soft play today so will tell him it OK to do it here but not at home. X
