Toddlers

During the toddler years (ages 1–3) children’s brains, bodies and abilities are developing rapidly. For parents these years are exciting, challenging and often a bit overwhelming.

Behavioral issues like tantrums and meltdowns, picky eating, trouble sleeping and problems sharing are common during toddlerhood.

Toddlers hit developmental milestones at their own pace, and each child is different. However, if you have concerns about your child’s development it’s important to talk to your pediatrician. Early intervention can make a big difference.
