E is challenged by the slide’s ladder; the bars are too high and far apart for his body size. Unable to gain access to the slide, he has an initial solution:
“mum, come help lift me, I can’t reach.”

Mum decides to offer this as an opportunity for E to figure this one out with creative thinking.
E tries briefly to climb ladder again with no luck, but then considers other options.
Success! E was incredibly proud of this creative solution and was able to climb up to the top repetitively for many satisfying slides!
E finds a ladder more suited to his size and succeeds in climbing to the top, a first for him – he was definitely feeling courageous and up for new challenges this day!
