The development of your toddler of 24 months
He refines his language
At 24 months, your toddler can have a conversation of two or three sentences with you, and you are probably able to understand what he says at least half the time. As he sees himself more as a separate person, he speaks of him: what he does, what he likes and what he dislikes.
Abstraction and reasoning
At 2 years, your toddler can form images in his mind, organize categories and put things in order. He spends much time to sort and show love all cats or balloons on a book page. But it will not show all the "beautiful" things or all things "heavy" because it is abstract concepts. His memory is developing and it is just beginning to understand concepts.
Why? Why? Yes, but why?
The toddler asks "why" for several reasons. Sometimes he wants an explanation, sometimes he knows no other word to express curiosity about something. Or he's happy to have found an issue that will require a long answer. Answer his questions and be patient. You can try to answer any of these questions with another question, for example, "Why do you think the cat ran away? "So you may end up providing him with the explanation he really wants.
Male and female
Your toddler is becoming more aware of gender differences and you can enjoy it for him to discover all aspects of the human being. The girls begin to imitate the behavior of women, while boys imitate rather than men. Your child does not necessarily imitate a model of the same sex, it is quite normal. This is part of its development.
