1 – 3 Years
Inception of Identity
Toddlerhood is the period of inception of the child’s first sense of self—his or her early identity.
Developmental tasks for toddlers are complex and interwoven, making huge demands on early care and education.
Toddlers are working on their identity; they want to know who they are and who’s in charge. This emerging identity encompasses all developmental domains—how the child uses language, explores materials, moves independently, seeks support or comfort, establishes autonomy, and interacts with the people and things in the environment.
The following articles will give detailed insights into various aspects of development and the effective strategies you can use to support your toddler’s optimal growth and learning.
We hope that the curated list of articles:
