The toddler stage is very important in a child's life. It is the time between infancy and childhood when a child learns and grows in many ways. Everything that happens to the toddler is meaningful. With each stage or skill the child masters, a new stage begins. This growth is unique to each child.
Children have their own time-table.
During the toddler stage, most children learn to walk, talk, solve problems, relate to others, and more. One major task for the toddler is to learn to be independent. The toddler stage is characterized by much growth and change, mood swings, and some negativity. Toddlers are long on will and short on skill. Toddlers, bursting with energy and ideas, need to explore their environment and begin defining themselves as separate people.
