2 Year Old Milestone

I will be very busy next days to come. So, to all mommies out there, I’ll be leaving with some points to ponder for your child’s development.

I have researched about the developments of a child for 2 year- old kids.

Let me share this with you:

Important Milestones: By The End Of 2 Year (24 Months)

Social

·         Imitates behavior of others, especially adults and older children

·         More aware of herself as separate from others

·         More excited about company of other children

(I am more than happy when I found out the three Social milestones and that my son already showed this kind of improvement.)

Emotional

·         Demonstrates increasing independence

·         Begins to show defiant behavior

·         Separation anxiety increases toward midyear then fades

(Yes, there is more of that defiant behaviour that I have observed with my son lately. Lessen negative reinforcement if possible. However, there should be a positive reinforcement for every incorrect doings. Both independence and separation anxiety fading are going well.)

Cognitive

·         Finds objects even when hidden under two or three covers

·         Begins to sort by shapes and colors

·         Begins make-believe play

(All the things mentioned on Cognitive Development are already being showed by my son.)

Language

·         Points to object or picture when it's named for him

·         Recognizes names of familiar people, objects, and body parts

·         Says several single words (by 15 to 18 months)

·         Uses simple phrases (by 18 to 24 months)

·         Uses 2- to 4-word sentences

·         Follows simple instructions

·         Repeats words overheard in conversation

(My son Kurt, even before reaching the age 2 already mastered the things listed on Language Development. I am more than proud and happy to share that he already knows how to say meaningful sentences of more than 4 words especially in our own language Cebuano and Tagalog. Plus he could also say simple sentences in English like “Please open biscuit mommy.” Or “Let’s go!” or “Close the door”. He is already using simple yet meaningful sentences and improving his vocabulary. A child is never witty unless there is a good training from the people around him. Plus, for those who are eager to make their children more knowledgeable about things, there should be more patience, understanding and love.)

Movement

·         Walks alone

·         Pulls toys behind her while walking

·         Carries large toy or several toys while walking

·         Begins to run

·         Stands on tiptoe

·         Kicks a ball

·         Climbs onto and down from furniture unassisted

·         Walks up and down stairs holding on to support

(He has already completed all of these before reaching two years old. There was 100% guidance not just from me but from all the people who love Kurt. That is the very reason why his movements or physical play are well-improved. However, be very extra careful because accidents happen all the time.)

Hand and Finger Skills

·         Scribbles on his or her own

·         Turns over container to pour out contents

·         Builds tower of four blocks or more

·         Might use one hand more often than the other

(Points 1, 2 and 3 are already mastered. However, my son is still working on the fourth point since he is still using both hands for writing / scribbling.)

NOTE: The list above was only taken from the internet and I do not own any of the researches made here.

Always remember mommies that your child’s success, begins on how you teach him and guide him. Have a happy week ahead of you!
