Three-year-old Daniel is trying to climb up onto a large, cement cylinder. Perhaps hoping that a nearby adult will solve his problem by lifting him up, Daniel says, “I need help getting up here.” He soon decides to give it a try himself. Daniel jumps up and extends his body against the side of the cylinder, only to slide back down. Abby notices Daniel’s efforts and joins him. As both children stretch their arms across the curved top they may experience a sense of irony in the fact that they can reach the top yet cannot climb up. Charles tries to solve the problem by lifting Daniel’s feet off of the ground, but alas, his efforts are unsuccessful. Abby decides to give Daniel’s earlier strategy another try. She encourages Daniel to persist saying, “Try it, Daniel. Get up.” Passing by, Lauren quickly interprets Abby’s actions. Without hesitation, she gives Abby a boost by pushing her legs as she jumps up. Daniel turns to ask for help, and with Lauren’s assistance he too successfully climbs up on the cylinder.
