Parenting Your 1-Year-Old Toddler: Week 25
Welcome to the Exciting Journey of 18 Months!
Congratulations on reaching the remarkable milestone of 18 months! Your little explorer is about to show off some impressive (and sometimes bewildering) new skills. Get ready for three delightful milestones that will keep you on your toes!
First up, prepare for a burst of energy as your toddler eagerly practices her newfound abilities. Baby-proofing the house just became a whole lot more challenging, since your adventurous little one has mastered climbing everything from the back of the couch to the baby gate! Ensure that your future mountain climber has plenty of opportunities for physical play throughout the day to help manage all that extra energy.
Next, brace yourself for a vocabulary explosion! Your child will soon be combining two or more words to express desires or describe what’s happening around her. Reading daily is essential—it not only enriches her vocabulary but also lays the groundwork for important literacy skills.
Are you starting to experience some epic tantrums? This is a sign that your toddler’s memory and language skills are developing. She can now remember objects, like that coveted cookie she spotted, long after they’ve vanished from sight. While these tantrums can be frustrating, they also indicate growth. Now is the perfect time to introduce new words to help her articulate her feelings effectively.
Helpful Tip: Toddlers thrive on physical activity, which can be quite draining for parents! Look for inventive ways to let your little one expend her energy, so you don’t feel like you’re losing your mind.
