The development of your toddler of 20 months

The main stages of physical development

At 20 months, your baby is probably able to run, although it is still not very good. It also mounts perhaps the stairs alone, but will usually need help to get off. He certainly knows kick a ball. However, most children 20 months have not yet mastered the jump and can not throw a ball over their head.

He does not like when you go

When someone important to him is going or you're away, it can disrupt your child: your presence reassures him. To facilitate the separation warn him that you will leave. Describe him as you come back "after lunch" "after snack", and be careful not to extend the "goodbye".

It has an aggressive behavior

Toddlers often tend to type, pushing, biting ... sometimes to feel more important or just to experience more, "What happens when I hit it Leah? Is it the same if I hit Max? "Even if your child's behavior bothers you, do not dramatize! If you retaliate by hitting, your little one can deduce that the right type. Explain more clearly and calmly that you should never enter (even if you feel very upset).



He discovered his genitals

Toddlers are naturally curious and interested in everything, including their genitals. Just as they played with their fingers and toes when they were babies, they are now finding their sex. There is nothing to worry. When your toddler is in public, do not make a drama. Explain that some things simply are not at home and in private.
