A toddler is a child between 1-3 years old who is developing motor skills like walking and grasping objects. The document outlines the typical physical, motor, cognitive and language developmental milestones achieved during toddlerhood, such as recognizing names, asking why, and playing with others. It also provides information on growth parameters, vaccines administered, injury prevention strategies, and milestones for fine motor, gross motor, and social development during toddler years.

DRINKS WITH GLASS
As soon as your child can hold
something in his two hands
introduce a small glass for drinking.
When we offer him a glass instead
of a bottle or 'sippy' cup he feels he
is being like a 'grown up'. Putting
this trust in your child makes him
feel good about himself.
 The first line children typically

line starting at the top of the
paper and finishing with a
downward stroke. This is
typically around 23-24 months.

Then point to your baby's nose and repeat 'nose'. Do
this for a few days consecutively, before moving on to
other body parts – the eyes, mouth, ears, hair,
hands, toes, fingers and more. Now make a game out
of finding the right body part.

26. USE OF WORDS MAY BE QUITE INCONSISTENSE

27. REFERS TO SELF BY
NAME
As children begin talking to themselves,
their communication skills with the
outside world improve. "This is when
language comes inside,"

28. ASK ‘WHY’.
This development typically starts
around ages 2 or 3 and continues
on into ages 4 and 5. Asking “why”
is a sign of curiosity and wanting to
understand the world around them,
which can seem big and daunting
for a toddler. Understanding can
help increase security and
confidence, so the “why” questions
are important.
