Learn about common toddler challenges, how to help them build skills, and how to foster independence.
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 difficulty 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.
No two toddlers are the same, but most kids in this age range share some developmental similarities. Know what to expect and how to help these youngsters develop language skills, test the waters of independence, and more.
In addition to meltdowns, there are a few tricky subjects that parents of toddlers often have to grapple with. See our resources on what they are and how to deal with them.
From dropping naps to sleeping through the night (or not), toddler sleep issues are a top priority for exhausted parents. It can take some trial and error, but parents eventually figure out how to get the sleep everyone so desperately needs.
Tantrums are a hallmark of toddler behavior — they don’t call them the terrible twos for nothing. Here you’ll find resources on why these challenging behaviors happen and what to do — and not do — in response.
With such a huge spectrum of typical toddler development, it can be a challenge to determine which behaviors are “normal” and which could be a sign of something more. Early intervention, when needed, can make a big difference.
