Toddler
Toddler age range
The toddler years are from the age of 1 until 3 years.
It's an incredible part of life where they're learning to walk, talk and their whole world is growing with exploration and curiosity.
Raising toddlers
Toddlers bring immense joy into a household. It's wonderful to watch them achieve their developmental milestones, from their first steps to their first words. They have boundless curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring the world which can remind you of the simple pleasures in life.
However raising a toddler can also come with its share of challenges. Toddler tantrums can test the patience of even the most patient caregiver. Sleep challenges, toilet training and the constant need for supervision can be tiring.
A normal daily routine for the age of toddlerhood usually involves one or two day sleeps. Usually by about 13 and 16 months of age, toddlers are getting down to one middle of the day sleep. They will be eating three meals a day as well as snacks and will be participating in family meals and activities.
Raising toddlers can be rewarding and challenging however watching them grow and develop makes the journey of raising toddlers a deeply fulfilling one.
