By 6-20 months your toddler understanding has increased to a point where he can carry out simple requests like “Give me the Cup”. By 14 months more advanced babies will: use a spoon or fork, Matches lids with appropriate containers and pushes and pulls toys while walking. From ages 7 to 9 months most babies can roll over in both directions — even in their sleep. Sometimes we expect our children to be more advanced than they really are. Remember that many of the younger children can’t understand a request because it involves thinking or listening skills that they haven’t developed yet. Putting your preschooler in charge of a regular, simple task will build her confidence and sense of competency. Resist doing for her what she can do herself. While it may be quicker and easier to do it yourself, it won’t help to make your child more self-sufficient. Kids first start to show hand preference around age 2, though they’re likely to experiment by switching back and forth. By the time they’re 3, most are fairly consistent in which hand they use to draw, pick up a cup, reach, and wave. Involving toddlers in the dressing process is the first step towards independence. This also helps self-esteem and promotes problem solving. By 16 months, your toddler will probably start making many common consonant sounds, such as t, d, n, w, and h. Learning to make these sounds is a watershed event, one that leads to the rapid vocabulary spurt that most children go through starting around 18 months. After the explosive growth of infancy, the toddler and preschooler grows about 2 to 3 inches and gains about 4 to 5 pounds each year. Most children undergo a normal part of development know as a food jag. Food jags occur when children either refuse to eat a previously accepted food, or when they insist on eating one particular food all the time. A nine-month-old child is typically developing if he can speak even one word. With the benefit of proper scaffolding, he’ll know fifty to one hundred words within just a few months. By two, he will speak around 320 words; a couple months later – over 570. While 3- and 4-year-olds still need plenty of parental help, our preschool experts agree that kids are typically able to do more than many of us think. In the tenth month, most babies stand holding on something, walk with the support and pull up to standing position from sitting. They can wave goodbyes, crawl well and thumb and finger pincer grasp to pick up things. At 12 to 18 months of age, toddlers begin to become interested in the world around them. As they continue to grow, they learn to socialize by trial and error. As your child grows, he or she will display certain personality traits. Some of these are learned, others genetic. Respect your child’s developing individuality, don’t expect her to be just like you. Most baby experts agree that a toddler will be ready to move from a cot to a "big girl" bed between the ages of 2 and 3 years old. Physically, it’s recommended that your toddler has reached a height of three feet (90 cm) tall. During the first year of life, your baby will grow and develop at an amazing speed. Her weight will double by 5 to 6 months, and triple by her first birthday. Kids acquire speech, like all the other developmental skills, at their own pace. Most children who talk late eventually catch up. Between 2-3 years, toddlers learn how to jump off low structures, and eventually how to jump from a standing position. Both of these skills require bilateral coordination, or the ability to use both sides of your body to do something different. |
