The Terrific Twos

[Pin It]

Toddlers are on a fast moving developmental trajectory – they are no longer dependent babies focused on survival. Instead, they are running, jumping, and problem-solving with unique personalities. Toddlerhood is a fun and exciting time as children are developing physically, cognitively, linguistically, and socially. There is a significant increase in language acquisition during toddlerhood as they are producing more words and following simple directions.

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children, families and professionals can serve as role models during this stage by demonstrating kindness, respect, and patience. As professionals we must recognize that toddlers need guidance, support, and understanding, as they are trying to navigate their own independence.

Initial Post – Choose two of the following topics below:

Individuation/separation
Separation anxiety
Language development
Object permanence
Egocentrism
Conservation
Zone of proximal development
Self-help skills
Safety for toddlers
