Maybe I can add the development of planning, since one needs to decide with each step where to put your foot all the way up, and DOWN again! Whereas on a jungle gym all the steps are mathematically worked out and virtually no thinking or planning is necessary.
We had a lot of trees in the garden when growing up, and of my fondest memories as a child are from being in a tree. The pear tree helped me to face my fear and do it anyway; the big walnut tree was my safe place where I could dream the most wonderful things; and the fig, guava and mulberry trees provided great snacks in the afternoons!
Thank you for putting down all these great reasons and motivation to get our kids and grandchildren climbing trees again.
