About HigherTots
One swing, one child on it, and a tree. Your child taps the hand to push. A push at the very top of the back-swing makes the swing go higher. A push at another moment makes it wobble and settle lower. A longer rope swings more slowly. None of this is said: your child finds it by pushing.
What to do beside your child
Say what you see: “It went higher that time.” If it helps, push a real swing together afterwards and count up-and-back out loud. Do not tell your child when to push; finding the moment is the game.
How it behaves
There are no words, no score and no end. The swing sings one note at each end, so a steady swing is a steady beat; sound only starts after a tap, and the site-wide sound switch turns it off. With reduced motion on, the swing is shown only at each end of its swing. Nothing is stored or sent.
What it does not claim
It is a toy for feeling timing and rhythm. It is not a measured music or physics lesson.
