What are the most important milestones of toddlers?
Toddlers develop very fast. They grow fast and become heavier quickly, they learn to walk, talk and they become potty trained. During the ages of 2 and 3 they will also develop social skills. Toddlers are learning to play with other infants and start to see themselves more as an individual. Also, during this age the child starts to get preferences, for example about certain clothes and how they want to be entertained. Of course, when a child obtains certain skills varies immensely per toddler. When you're worried if your toddler is developing well, then it is wise to consult a specialist.
