Who is Toddler?
I have taken the Toddler definition from wikipedia.org as a common term for a young child who is learning to walk or “toddle”, generally considered to be the second stage of development after infancy and occurring predominantly during the ages of 12 to 36 months old.
During this period, the child learns a great deal about social roles and develops motor skills; to toddle is to walk unsteadily. The term cruising is used for toddlers who cannot toddle but must hold onto something while walking.
Generally toddlers is divided into four groups:
- 12 - 15 months. If we see from physical criteria, we will see the toddler can stand well alone, drink from a cup, turn pages in a book, play ball by rolling and tossing it.
- 15 - 18 months. Physically they will be shown the ability to walk well alone, able to bend down and stand up independently, climb onto furniture, lift cup up to mouth for drinking.
- 18 - 24 months, Physically they will be shown the ability to run, climb small chair, feed self with spoon, walk up steps.
