Toddler Stage
The toddler stage typically occurs between the ages of 1 and 3 years. During this period, children experience rapid physical and cognitive development. They begin to walk, run, and explore their environment, which enhances their motor skills. Language development also accelerates, with toddlers starting to form simple sentences and express their needs.
Socially, toddlers begin to engage with others, learning to share and take turns. They often exhibit strong emotions and may have temper tantrums as they navigate their feelings. This stage is crucial for developing independence and self-identity, laying the foundation for future social interactions and learning.
