    Study Notes

    Toddler Development

    • An 18-month-old toddler who still walks by holding onto furniture should be evaluated by a developmental specialist.
    • A 2-year-old child should be able to jump with both feet.
    • It is normal for 18-month-old toddlers to carry around their favorite blanket. This behavior is self-consoling.
    • Toddlers engage in parallel play, playing next to each other, but not with each other.
    • When setting limits for a toddler, it is important to use praise as well as disapproval.
    • Toddlers are very active and may have decreased appetites. It is important to encourage quiet time before meals to help them wind down.
    • Toddlers should be limited to 24 ounces of milk per day.
    • A good guideline for serving sizes for toddlers is 1 tablespoon of each type of food for each year of age.
    • Children are ready for toilet training when they can communicate that they are wet.
    • A 2-year-old child should be using two-word sentences.
    • The appropriate time-out for a 3-year-old child is 3 minutes.
    • Toddlers often test their power by saying "no" to everything. This is known as negativism.
    • The expected weight of a 2-year-old is 4 times their birth weight.
    • When speaking to toddlers, it is important to be at eye level.
    • Toddlers have shorter attention spans than preschoolers.
    • A 16-month-old child who does not walk independently should be evaluated by a medical professional.
    • A potty chair should be small enough for the child's feet to touch the floor, sturdy, stable, and supportive of the child's back and arms.
    • Good choices for toddler snacks include finger foods, foods served in colorful dishes, and foods that are varied and colorful.
    • Physiological changes that protect toddlers against disease include toughening of the skin, increased capillary response for thermoregulation, and stabilization of body temperature.
    • Fear is common in toddlers. Stress increases fear, and rituals can help toddlers deal with fear. It is difficult to eliminate learned fear, so adults should try to control their own fears in the presence of children.
    • A 2-year-old child should weigh 3 times their birth weight.
    • A 16-month-old who has not started walking independently should be evaluated by a health professional.
