    Climbing walls and flipping

    Our 2 year old has decided that climbing walls especially the corners is a must. She has flipped herself a few times, fortunately we were right there to right her, but as we lost our Keinu to flipping himself, I am extremely worried. What can I do to discourage her from climbing the walls? Thanks
