“» BETTER CHILD PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT While their growth rate slows compared to their baby years, toddlers steadily gain height and weight. On average, your tot will grow about 7-10 cm and gain 2-3 kg annually. Their limbs will lengthen, making them look less like chubby babies and more like little kids. Their head size also grows more slowly now, as their body proportions begin to even out. MOTOR SKILLS Gone are the days of wobbly baby steps - your toddler is now a never-sitting-still machine. They can manage stairs with some support, kick and throw balls, and even try pedalling a tricycle. However, they're still perfecting their ability to walk smoothly and in a straight line like an adult. This is because their sense of proprioception (which helps the body understand where it is in space) is still developing. As a result, they often move in unpredictable ways, stopping suddenly, zig-zagging or even stumbling as they go. Toddlers are also figuring out how to balance while in motion. Their brain is working hard to coordinate information from their muscles, inner ear, and vision to help them stay upright. COGNITIVE & PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS Your toddler is beginning to solve problems in more advanced ways, whether it’s figuring out how to fit a shape into the right hole, stacking blocks in order, or recalling where they left their favourite toy. This stage is also about exploring textures, so don't be surprised if your toddler prefers squishing sand, water, and dough between their fingers rather than building anything with them. This is also the age when pretend play becomes more elaborate. They feed their stuffed animals and pretend to cook meals in their toy kitchen. Their ability to follow simple instructions also improves, although whether they choose to listen is another story.
