1. Growth And Development
During Early Childhood

2. Growth And Development During
Early Childhood( Toddler)

4.  The toddler years are characterized by struggle‫كفاح‬ for autonomy
as the child developed a sense of self separation from the parent ,
toddler explore the environment and master new skills .
 Toddler egocentric and demanding behavior , often marked by
temper tantrums and negativism, have given this age the label the
terrible twos. ‫الغضب‬ ‫بنوبات‬ ‫يتسم‬ ‫ما‬ ‫ا‬ً‫ب‬‫غال‬ ،‫والمتطلب‬ ‫األناني‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫سلوك‬
‫الع‬ ‫هذا‬ ‫أعطى‬ ،‫والسلبية‬

‫الرهيبة‬ ‫الثنائيات‬ ‫تسمية‬ ‫ر‬
 Parental guidance is needed to handle the negativism, temper
tantrums,،‫الغضب‬ ‫نوبات‬ and sibling rivalry ‫األشقاء‬ ‫تنافس‬ that are
characteristic of this age group.
 The preschooler becomes increase independent mastering many
self care and motor skills And developing greater social and
emotional maturity , imagination , creative. ‫مبدع‬

5. Physical Growth and Development
• The Toddler:-
• Weight gain is 2.5 kg /year .
• Body mass index (BMI) screening is completed at 24 months
to identify toddlers who are overweight or underweight.
• A child birth weight has quadrupled by age 2 to 3 years .
• Height (12 cm) a year during the toddler period
• Height average 7.5 cm /years .
• Head circumference increase 2 cm during the toddler years
,compared with the growth of 12 cm in the first 12 month .
• , chest circumference should have grown greater than that of
the head.

6. • Body contour:
• Immature abdominal musculature give the toddler a
potbellied appearance ‫بطن‬ ‫مظهر‬. Toddlers tend to have a
prominent abdomen.
• With an exaggerated lumber curve the child short legs
appear slightly bowed, and the feet seem flat because of
a plantar fat pad that disappears around the age of 2
years .
• They also have a forward curve of the spine at the sacral
area (lordosis). As they become more experienced at
walking, this will correct itself naturally.

7. Toddler a potbellied appearance . Toddlers tend to have a
prominent abdomen because their abdominal muscles are not yet
strong enough to support abdominal contents as well as they will
be able to do later

8. Bowes legs in toddler

9. Lordosis in toddler (have a forward curve of the
spine at the sacral area (lordosis).

10. • Body Systems:
• Body systems continue to mature during this time.
 • Respirations slow slightly but continue to be mainly
abdominal.
 • Heart rate slows from 110 to 90 beats/min.
 • Blood pressure increases to about 99/64 mmHg.
 • The brain develops to about 90% of its adult size.
 • In the respiratory system, the lumens of vessels
enlarge progressively so the threat of lower respiratory
infection lessens.

11.  • Stomach secretions become more acid; therefore,
gastrointestinal infections also become less common.
 • Stomach capacity increases to the point a child can eat
three meals a day.
 • Control of the urinary and anal sphincters becomes
possible with complete.
 myelination of the spinal cord so toilet training is
possible.
 • Immune globulin (Ig)G and IgM antibody production
becomes mature at 2 years of age.
 The passive immunity obtained during intrauterine life is
no longer operative.

12.  Teeth:
 Eight new teeth (the canines and the first molars) erupt during the
second year. ‫جديدة‬ ‫أسنان‬ ‫ثمانية‬ ‫تظهر‬
(
‫األولى‬ ‫واألضراس‬ ‫األنياب‬
)
‫الثانية‬ ‫السنة‬ ‫خالل‬
 All 20 deciduous ‫المتساقطة‬ teeth are generally present by 2.5 to 3 years
of age.
 Deciduous teeth play an important role in the growth and
development of the jaws and face and in speech development ,
premature loss of the deciduous teeth complicated eruption of the
permanent teeth. ‫الدائمة‬ ‫االسنان‬

13. All 20 deciduous teeth are generally present
by 2.5 to 3 years of age.

14.  Growth spurts ‫طفرات‬ are short periods of time when the child
experiences quick physical growth in height and weight.
 Growth spurts are a normal part of child's development and
occur at different stages of their childhood until they reach
physical maturity.

15. Acceleration : ‫تسارع‬

16.  Developmental milestones: are a set of functional skills or age-
specific tasks that most children can do at a certain age range.
 Some children achieve their developmental milestones earlier
and some later than other children. Some are able to speak earlier
than others, but walk later.
 Most developmental delays in children are not serious, and
children eventuallyً‫ا‬‫مؤخر‬ catch up with their peers. However, if a
more serious delay or a disability is present, providing help early
is important in helping the child reach his full potential.‫محتمل‬


17.  Knowing the developmental milestones for different ages
helps parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals
understand normal child development and also aids in
identifying potential problems with delayed development.
 Developmental delays :exist when a child does not reach
his/her milestones at about the same time as other children the
same age.

18. • The developmental milestones of the toddler years are
less numerous but no less dramatic than those of the
infant year because this is a period of slow and
steady, not sudden, growth.

• Toddler development is influenced to some extent by
the amount of social contact and the number of
opportunities children have to explore and experience
new degrees of independence

they play with their child or when they give the toddler
something (“Here is your drink of water,” “Let’s put on
these pajamas,
• Play:
• Imitates household chores such as dusting; begins
parallel play (playing beside, not with, another child)

31. Jump from chairs

32. Emotional Development
• 1-Autonomy: Erikson.
• The developmental task of the toddler years according to Erikson
is the development of a sense of autonomy versus shame or
doubt. ‫الشك‬ ‫أو‬ ‫الخجل‬ ‫مقابل‬ ‫باالستقاللية‬ ‫الشعور‬
• Children who have learned to trust themselves and others during
the infant year are better prepared to do this than those who have
not learned to trust themselves or others.
• To develop a sense of autonomy is to develop a sense of
independence.
• A healthy level of autonomy is achieved when parents are able to
balance independence with consistently sound rules for safety..
• The senses and motor abilities of the toddler do not function
independently of one another
‫البعض‬ ‫بعضها‬ ‫عن‬ ‫مستقل‬ ‫بشكل‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫لدى‬ ‫الحركية‬ ‫والقدرات‬ ‫الحواس‬ ‫تعمل‬ ‫ال‬
• Tow year-old toddlers reach, grasp,‫يمسك‬ inspect, smell, taste, and
study objects with their eyes.

33. • Socialization:
 Once toddlers are walking well, they become resistant to sitting
in laps ‫حضن‬and being cuddled.‫يحتضن‬ This is not lack of a
desire for socialization but a function of being independent
 At 15 months, children are still excited ‫متحمس‬about interacting
with people, providing those people are willing to follow them
where they want to go.
‫على‬ ‫األشخاص‬ ‫هؤالء‬ ‫يكون‬ ‫أن‬ ‫بشرط‬ ،‫الناس‬ ‫مع‬ ‫للتفاعل‬ ‫متحمسين‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫يزال‬ ‫ال‬
‫الذهاب‬ ‫يريدون‬ ‫حيث‬ ‫لمتابعتهم‬ ‫استعداد‬
 By 18 months, toddlers imitate ‫التقليد‬the things they see a parent
doing, such as “study” or “sweep,”‫تمشيط‬ so they seek out
parents to observe and imitate.
 . By 2 or more years of age, children become aware of gender
differences and may point to other children and identify them
as “boy” or “girl

34.  3-Play Behavior:
 Play is the work of a toddler. Through play, toddlers learn how
to manipulate and understand their environment, socialize, and
explore their world.
 All during the toddler period, children play beside other
children, not with them. This side-by-side play (parallel play)
is not unfriendly but is a normal developmental sequence that
occurs during the toddler period.
 Toddlers prefer pots and pans from the kitchen, supervised
water play, dancing to music, and crayons or finger paint and
paper.

35. • The toys toddlers enjoy most are those they can play with by
themselves and that require action. Trucks they can make
go, rocking horses they can ride, ‫وخيول‬ ،‫تشغيلها‬ ‫يمكنهم‬ ‫شاحنات‬
،‫ركوبها‬ ‫يمكنهم‬ ‫هزازة‬
• These are all toys children can control, giving them a sense
of power in manipulation,‫بارعة‬ ‫معالجة‬ which is an expression
of autonomy

36. The best play pots‫األواني‬ and pans ‫المقالي‬from the
kitchen

37.  At 15 months of age, children are still continue to enjoy stacks
of boxes that fit inside each other. They enjoy throwing toys
out of a playpen or from a high chair tray as long as someone
will pick them up and return them again and again.
 By age 2 years, when toddlers begin to spend time imitating
adult actions in their play such as wrapping a doll‫دمية‬ ‫تغليف‬
and putting it to bed or “driving the car,” they begin to use fewer
toys than before.
 By the end of the toddler period, both boys and girls begin to
like roughhousing and spend at least part of every day in this
very active, stimulating type of play Encouraging parents to
schedule this type of play outdoors,

38. Imitating adult actions

39. Psychosexual development
 At18 months toddler enter Freud's anal stage , that as children
focus on mastery of bowel and bladder function , also directed
to the genital area .
 By 2year child aware gender .
 By 3year can correctly identify anatomic pictures of boys and
girls .
 Encouraging parent to make traditional gender typed toys
available to both boys and girls .
 In most cultures boys and girls are treated differently and thus
are taught male and female behaviors .
 Sex play and masturbation ‫االستمناء‬ are common in toddler .

40.  Nursing can reassure parent that self exploration or exploration
of another toddler body is normal behavior during early
childhood.
 When parent discover children involved in sex play casually
telling them to dress and directing them to another activity can
limit sex play without producing feeling of sham or anxiety

41. Cognitive Development
 As a toddler, a child enters the final stages of Piaget’s sensorimotor thought
and the beginning of the preoperative period at approximately 12 months
 Toddlers are described as “little scientists” because of their interest in trying to
discover new ways to handle objects or new results that different actions can
achieve. , toddlers need supervision for these types of scientific investigations
because they can lead to errors or injury.
 Learning in this stage occurs mainly by the trial and error.
 Most of day is busy to see what will happen as they dump fill ‫ا‬ ‫ملء‬
‫ل‬
‫فر‬
‫ا‬
‫غ‬ , empty
and explore every accessible area of their environment
 Object permanence is firmly establish by this age
‫الع‬ ‫هذا‬ ‫في‬ ‫بقوة‬ ‫الكائن‬ ‫ديمومة‬ ‫تأسيس‬ ‫يتم‬
‫م‬
‫ر‬
 Object permanence describes a child's ability to know that objects
continue to exist even though they can no longer be seen or heard.
‫رؤيتها‬ ‫الممكن‬ ‫من‬ ‫يعد‬ ‫لم‬ ‫لو‬ ‫حتى‬ ‫موجودة‬ ‫تزال‬ ‫ال‬ ‫األشياء‬ ‫أن‬ ‫معرفة‬ ‫على‬ ‫الطفل‬ ‫قدرة‬ ‫األشياء‬ ‫بقاء‬ ‫يصف‬
‫سماعها‬ ‫أو‬
.
Example. if you place a toy under a blanket, the child who has achieved
object permanence knows it is there and can actively seek it.

42. Characteristic of preoperational thinking
– Egocentrism ;-‫االنانية‬ views everything in relation to
self is unable to consider another point of view.
‫الذات‬ ‫حول‬ ‫التمركز‬
:
-
‫وجهة‬ ‫في‬ ‫النظر‬ ‫يستطيع‬ ‫وال‬ ‫بذاته‬ ‫يتعلق‬ ‫ما‬ ‫كل‬ ‫يرى‬
‫أخرى‬ ‫نظر‬
– Animism :- believes that inert objects are alive
and have wills of their own .
‫الروحانية‬
:
-
‫بها‬ ‫خاصة‬ ‫إرادات‬ ‫ولها‬ ‫حية‬ ‫كائنات‬ ‫الخاملة‬ ‫األجسام‬ ‫بأن‬ ‫تؤمن‬
– Irreversibility :- cannot see a process in reverse
order
– Magical thought :- believes that magical thought is
the cause of event.
– Centration :- tend to focus on only aspect of an
experience ignoring other possible alternatives.
‫الممكنة‬ ‫األخرى‬ ‫البدائل‬ ‫متجاهلة‬ ‫التجربة‬ ‫من‬ ‫الوحيد‬ ‫الجانب‬ ‫على‬ ‫التركيز‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫تميل‬

43. Egocentrism example
• if you wake up late and go to school in a stained sweater,
you may think that everyone noticed. This occurs primarily
due to the egocentric bias: we are so focused on ourselves
that we forget others are also occupied with themselves or
whatever they are doing

44. Animism example
• include water sprites, vegetation deities, and tree spirits,
among others. Animism may further attribute a life force
to abstract concepts such as words, true names, or
metaphors in mythology.

‫األساطير‬ ‫في‬

48.  Children at this stage have a type of faulty reasoning (prelogical
reasoning) that can lead them to wrong conclusions and faulty
judgment
 At the end of the toddler period, children enter a second major
period of cognitive development termed preoperational thought
and begin to use a process termed assimilation.‫االستيعاب‬
 Piaget believed that there are two basic ways that we can adapt
to new experiences and information: assimilation and
accommodation.
 Assimilation is the easiest method because it does not require a
great deal of adjustment‫تعديل‬. Through this process, we add new
information to our existing knowledge base, sometimes
reinterpreting these new experiences so that they will fit in with
previously existing information.

49. Language Development
 The Toddler :-
 Between 15 and 24 months language ability develops rapidly
 Toddler understand many more words then they can say
because receptive language.
 Sometime after 18 months many children experience a sudden
spurt ‫سرعة‬ in speech production and comprehension , resulting
in a vocabulary of 300 or more words at 24 months.
 By 2 year roughly 60% to 70% of toddlers speech should be
understandable .

50.  Parent can promote language development by talking to their
child and incorporating ‫دمج‬ teaching into daily routines .
 Feeding, bathing, dressing, and going on outing to both new
and family placed offer opportunities for verbal interaction and
the practice of growing language skills.
 The child should be encouraged to express needs rather than
the parent anticipating ‫توقع‬ and providing what the child wants
before the child asks for it

51. PROMOTING TODDLER SAFETY
 Accidents (unintentional injuries) are the major cause of death in
infants through late adolescents in the United States (CDC, 2012a).
 Unintentional ingestions (poisoning) and auto accidents are the types
of unintentional injuries that occur most frequently in toddlers.
 poisoning can involve medicine such as acetaminophen ,.
 Aspiration or ingestion of small objects such as watch or hearing aid
batteries, pencil erasers, or parts of crayons ‫تلوين‬ ‫أقالم‬ is also a major
danger for children of this age .
 Urge parents to childproof their home ‫من‬ ‫منزلهم‬ ‫حماية‬ ‫على‬ ‫الوالدين‬ ‫حث‬
‫األطف‬
‫ال‬ by putting all poisonous products, drugs, and small objects out
of reach by the time their infant is crawling, and certainly by the time
their infant is walking, to avoid these problems.

52.  Other unintentional injuries that occur frequently in toddlers
include
 motor vehicle accidents,.
 burns,.
 Falls.
 drowning, and playground injuries.
 These occur because toddlers’ motor ability jumps ahead of
their judgment. To prevent serious injury, teach parents to be
alert as to what their toddler is doing at all times.
 For safety in automobiles, parents should keep their toddlers in
rear-facing seats until age 2 years, or until the child reaches the
maximum height and weight for their particular seat.

53. Falling safety from stairs

55. Should be prevent toddler from falling

56. Should be prevented from aspiration

57. Toy safety for toddler should be large to
prevent aspiration

58. Motor vehicle safety

59. Bathroom hazards should be kept in closed
cupboard

60. Buckets ;‫دلو‬

61. Drowning safety for toddler its family
responsibility

62.  children need to ride in a car seat with a five-point restraint
Car seats should be placed in the back seat so the child is not
struck by the passenger seat airbag.
 Remind parents that it is unsafe to leave a toddler alone in a
car.
 One way for a parent to be reminded that the child is in the
back seat is to always place a purse ‫مقعد‬ or briefcase in the
back seat alongside the child’s car seat.
 Toddlers need to wear a helmet as soon as they begin riding a
tricycle.
 UNINTENTIONAL INJURY PREVENTION MEASURES
FOR TODDLERS chapter (box) 30 page 1791

63.  Lead Screening:
 The CDC has set as a goal the elimination of elevated blood lead levels in
children.
 All children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years who live in
communities with buildings built before 1950 and immigrant children who
might have been exposed to sources of lead in another country should be
tested for the presence of lead in their body (lead poisoning).
 ‫عام‬ ‫قبل‬

‫أجسادهم‬ ‫في‬ ‫الرصاص‬ ‫وجود‬ ‫من‬ ‫للتأكد‬ ‫آخر‬
(
‫بالرصاص‬ ‫التسمم‬
)
 Because lead is toxic to body tissue, ingestion of it leads to
 1-serious damage to the brain and nervous system, kidneys, and red blood
cells.
 2- Levels as low as 5 μg/dl can cause learning and behavioral problems.
 3-High levels may result in seizures, cognitive challenges, coma, and even
death.
 The CDC (2012b) recommends screening for all children between the ages
of 9 and 12 months at least once and again at 18 or 24 months of age. A

64. Toddler Nutrition Requirements
 Parents may become frustrated ‫محبط‬when trying to provide
adequate nutrition for their toddler because of a toddler’s
varying and unpredictable appetite and food preferences.
 Sedentary (inactive ) children ages 1 to 3 years should
consume 1,000 kcal daily; active children in this age group
may need up to 1,400 kcal daily.
 Adequate calcium and phosphorus intake is important for bone
mineralization. Milk should be whole milk until age 2 years.
 Calories are best supplied by a variety of foods spaced into
three meals a day.
 fat coming from sources of polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts ,‫المكسرات‬ and
vegetable oils, the same as adults.

65.  By age 1 year most children are eating the same food as the
rest of the family , toddler should be offered three meals and
two health snacks ‫خفيفة‬ ‫وجبات‬ each day , most 2 year old's can
drink from a cup and use a spoon well if given the opportunity
to practice.
• After 2 year, low- fat (2%) milk may be given , milk intake
should be limited to 2 or 3 cups /day, yogurt‫زبادي‬ and cheese
are other milk group sources , .
• poultry, fish, and lean meat are good sources of iron , low
sugar breakfast cereals are sources of iron and vitamins.
• snacks of fruits and vegetables assist in meeting the child
nutritional requirements.
• Food jags :
• The volume of food the child eats may vary from day to day ,
the child may want the same food at every meal for several
days and then suddenly reject the food completely, they may
not like mixing food , many children prefer juices to milk and
water.

66. PROMOTING TODDLER DEVELOPMENT IN DAILY
ACTIVITIES
 A toddler’s new independence and developing abilities in self-
care, such as dressing, eating, and to a limited extent hygiene,
present special challenges for parents.
 Learning how to promote autonomy yet maintain a safe,
healthful environment should be a major goal for the family.
 1- Dressing :
 By the end of the toddler period, most children can put on their
own socks and underpants .
 Some may also be able to pull on trousers, pullover shirts (the
sleeves of a shirt often confuse a toddler), or simple dresses.

67.  By 24 month can put on simple items of clothing but cannot
differentiate front to back, also can zip large zippers, ‫سحاب‬ ‫يمكن‬
‫الكبيرة‬ ‫السوستة‬ put on shoes ,and wash and dry their hands. they
habitually put shoes on the wrong feet.
 If they feel they must change the child’s clothes, urge them to begin
with a positive statement, such as “You did a good job,” before
making the switch.

68.  2- Sleep:
 The amount of sleep children need gradually decrease as they
grow older.
 They may begin the toddler period napping twice a day and
sleeping 12-14hours each night and end it with one to two nap
.
 If a child has difficulty falling asleep at night, it may be time to
omit or shorten an afternoon nap.
 Some toddlers begin having night terrors or awake crying from
a bad dream and so may receive little sleep because they are
reluctant ‫متكاسل‬ to fall back asleep.

69.  Other toddlers resist naptime as part of their developing
negativism.
 The parent can state simply, “It’s naptime now,” and then give
a secondary choice: “Do you want to sleep with your teddy
bear or your rag doll.‫بك‬ ‫الخاص‬ ‫خرقة‬ ‫دمية‬ ‫أو‬ ‫بك‬ ‫الخاص‬ ‫دب‬ ‫دمية‬ ‫مع‬
 Toddler often resist going to bed , using dawdling or even
temper tantrums to postpone separation from loved ones and
the exciting events of the day.
‫حتى‬ ‫أو‬ ‫تباطؤهم‬ ‫مستخدمين‬ ،‫السرير‬ ‫إلى‬ ‫الذهاب‬ ‫الصغار‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫يقاوم‬ ‫ما‬ ‫ا‬ً‫ب‬‫غال‬
‫اليوم‬ ‫في‬ ‫المثيرة‬ ‫واألحداث‬ ‫أحبائهم‬ ‫عن‬ ‫االنفصال‬ ‫لتأجيل‬ ‫الغضب‬ ‫نوبات‬
.
 Children of this age often have trouble relaxing and falling
asleep, warm bath before bed time promotes relaxation.

70.  a toddler loves a bedtime routine: bath, pajamas, a story,
toothbrushing, being tucked ‫مطوي‬into bed, having a drink of
water, choosing a toy to sleep with, and turning out the lights.
 toddlers like to see parents as firm, consistent people.
‫ومتسقين‬ ‫حازمين‬ ‫كأشخاص‬ ‫والديهم‬ ‫رؤية‬ ‫الصغار‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫يحب‬
 Remind parents to stress that sleeping in a regular bed does not
give children the right to get in and out of bed as they choose.
 This arrangement gives them a feeling of independence but
still keeps them safe.
 Put side rails for crib to prevent sleeping on floor or Dressing
the child in warm pajamas or putting a blanket on the floor to
protect child be solutions to help parents accept this.

71. Tips for dealing with a toddler who's
resisting bedtime:
 Promote relaxation. Before bed, consider a warm bath or
quiet reading. .
 Set a routine. Performing the same steps every night
helps your child to get used to a sleep routine. ...
 Keep him active during the day.
 Cuddle child .
 Read story
 Emphasize time together. ..
 Transition object, such as a favorite blanket or stuffed
animal, are often an important part of child bed time
routine.

72.  3-Bathing:
 The time for a toddler’s bath should depend on the parents’
and the child’s wishes and schedule.
 Toddlers usually enjoy bath time, and parents should make an
effort to make it fun by providing a toy, such as a rubber duck
or plastic fish.
 Bath time is usually so enjoyable for toddlers that parents can
use it as a recreational activity.
 Remind parents toddlers can sit well in a bathtub, it is still not
safe to leave them unsupervised.
 Parents shouldn’t add bubble bath to the water because its use
is associated with vulvovaginitis and possibly urinary tract
infections, especially in girls

75. Dental care for toddler (pediatric dentist )

76.  4- Dental Care:
 Toddlers often need between-meal snacks. To help prevent
dental caries from frequent snacking.‫خفيفة‬ ‫وجبات‬ ‫تناول‬
 encourage parents to offer fruit (e.g., bananas, pieces of apple,
orange slices) or protein foods (e.g., cheese, pieces of chicken)
for snacks rather than high carbohydrate items such as cookies
to limit exposure of the child’s teeth to carbohydrate.
 Calcium (found in large amounts in milk, cheese, and yogurt)
is especially important for the development of strong teeth and
so are other good snack foods.

77.  Remind parents not to put a child to bed with a bottle of milk
or juice to help prevent the development of caries.
 Toward the end of the toddler period, they can begin to do the
brushing themselves under supervision. Because toddler like to
imitate, watching parent brush their teeth can be motivating,
small soft, nylon bristle brush works best.

during the toddler period,
 Help parents to understand their responses to these attempts‫محاوالت‬
at independence are crucial ‫مهم‬ to the healthy development of their
child.
 Although the child still needs firm limits to feel secure, a child
must be given room to make independent decisions in areas the
parents feel they do not need to control.
 At bedtime, naptime, or anytime they are tired, toddlers may
become much more like their old selves, wanting to sit on a
parent’s lap and be rocked or picked up and carried. This does not
signal babyish behavior or regression in a toddler; it is a natural
state between infant and preschool ages.

achieve.
• You can explain to parents that toilet training is an
individualized task for each child.
• It should begin and be completed according to a child’s ability
to accomplish it, not according to a set schedule .
• Toilet training need not start this early, however, because
cognitively and socially, many children do not understand
what is being asked of them until they are 2 or even 3 years
old.

82. • Before children can begin toilet training, they must have
reached three important developmental levels, one physiologic
and the other two cognitive:
• 1- They must have control of rectal and urethral sphincters,
usually achieved by the time they walk well.
• 2-They must have a cognitive understanding of what it means
to hold urine and stools until they can release them at a certain
place and time.
• 3-They must have a desire to delay immediate enjoyment for a
more socially accepted action.

83.  Myelinization of the spinal cord which usually occurs
between 12 to 18 months.
 The average toddler is ready for toilet training to begin until 18
to 24 mo.
 If the child resist it is helpful to stop training and wait 30 to 60
day and begin .
 Bowel control is usually achieved before bladder control .

control.

year .

in a variety of way the toddler favorite word seems to be no.
‫من‬ ‫متنوعة‬ ‫مجموعة‬ ‫إظهار‬ ‫هو‬ ‫االستقالل‬ ‫عن‬ ‫دراماتيكية‬ ‫األكثر‬ ‫التعبيرات‬ ‫أحد‬

control often lead to defiance tantrum ‫غضب‬ ‫نوبة‬ and prolonged
negative

92.  How to deal with negativism:
 1-A toddler’s “no” can best be reduced by limiting the number
of questions asked of the child. A father does not really mean,
for example, “Are you ready for dinner?” He means, “Come to
the table. It’s dinnertime.
 2- A toddler needs experience in making choices, It’s bath time
now” but then says, “Do you want to take your duck ‫بطة‬ or
your toy boat into the tub with you?” Other example is “It’s
lunchtime. Do you want to use a big or little plate ‫”?صحن‬.

rather than punish.

 1. Parents need to be consistent.‫متسقين‬ ‫يكونوا‬ ‫أن‬ ‫اآلباء‬ ‫على‬ ‫يجب‬
 2. Rules are learned best if correct behavior is praised rather
than wrong behavior punished.

control .
 Toddler need and want discipline to feel secure ,they have little
control over their behavior and need limits to learn how to
behave and how to follow the rules and expectation of society.
 Effective discipline techniques for children of this age include
a time out , diversion, and positive reinforcement, physical
punishment, such as spanking , is one of the least effective
discipline techniques.
