Month 25 - What can the child do in the 25th month of its life?

The 25th month of life is the time when the majority of children already can:

• climb up the stairs by sidestepping;
• repeat words they have heard;
• hit a target with a ball (e.g., a basket with toys or throw it to another person);
• group items according to their common characteristic (e.g., colour);
• firmly hold and use a spoon and crayons;
• reach for things that interest them;
• overcome encountered obstacles (crawl, climb up, squeeze through, etc.);
• focus for longer on things that interest them;
• imitate gestures and behaviours of their parents.
