Ultimate Gift Guide 2022 - Best Gifts For A 2 Year Old
So much going on for bubs at the age of 2. This is when they really start to make their opinions heard. It can be a tricky time, but remember that their frustration is not that dissimilar to yours - I don't think that you like it much when people force you do things that you dont want to do. I am assuming you are better at regulating the response though! (I am still learning, but getting better with age - baby steps...)
And consider also, that everything is so interesting. They are eager to learn and discover - and they are determined. But honestly, that's what you want, right? Adventurous, clever, inquisitive, happy kids. So whilst it is our job to keep them safe and keep our households running, it's important to balance that with keeping them adventurous, clever and inquisitive.
Some other challenges may come from other things going on – potentially major changes in their routines, dreams and nightmares, moving out of cots and just general awareness of the world around them. They are just trying to make sense of it and do their own thing.
At age 2, kids will love building, creating and drawing and pretend play starts at this age and grows in significance as they get older. Dolls and special toys may start to have a really big significance for them as they provide a familiar and safe space for them. Language Development, Sensory Exploration, Cognitive Awareness, Social & Emotional will all be vital at this age too.
