The Toddler Years: A Time of Growth

The toddler stage, from ages one to three, is a period of rapid development. Physically, toddlers master walking, running, and fine motor skills like stacking blocks. Cognitively, their language skills expand quickly from single words to simple sentences. Emotionally, toddlers begin expressing and managing their feelings, often leading to tantrums, while socially, they start interacting with other children, learning essential skills like sharing and cooperation. Supporting their growth with patience, play, and consistent routines helps toddlers navigate this exciting and sometimes challenging phase, setting the foundation for future learning and development.
