I like to sweep, dust, mop, hammer, vacuum, shovel, scoop, or rake because I have seen you do these things. I can put rings on a spindle toy. I like to pretend, like wrapping up my doll or stuffed animal and putting it to bed. My feelings are easily hurt by criticism. I am continually testing the limits you set and trying to get my own way.
Children can be very different from each other.
Look for your child's growth in each area. Encourage each new ability. You can help your little one learn words by talking about what you and he are doing. If you're making cookies and he's watching, tell him about what you're doing. Now we add the eggs.
