Month 24 - How to support development of the child in the 24th month?

You must be wondering how you can support development of the child in the 24th month of its life. It is important to give it a maximum sense of safety and closeness, and not to accelerate certain natural processes. Remember that some toddlers learn faster than other, and any pressure may have an effect opposite to the intended one. To support development of the 24-months-old child, you can:

  • ensure it has contacts with its age peers and other children;
  • talk with your child - especially, about its day and its feelings (even those negative ones);
  • spend a lot of time with it outdoors (walking, playground, playing with a ball);
  • encourage it to play on its own;
  • let it help you with your daily chores (e.g., ask it to tidy up its toys);
  • let it make choices (e.g., which playground it wants to play in);
  • teach it songs and rhymes;
  • teach it patience and waiting for its turn;
  • play with your child in putting things together on a basis of their similarites (e.g., indicating all animals or red objects).
