Between the ages of one and two, it’s obvious for parents to see their physical development grows. As it is known as a huge change for your little ones since your child is beginning to leave the stage of babyhood and become a toddler. They have gained many new skills and have a high level of energy. They can move faster every day and require less support from you to help walk and discover independence while recognizing their need for security. They also love imitation whether they are sounds or actions. Discovering surroundings is still their favorite hobbies. They are eager to learn more about their daily routine activities, for example, taking off clothes and socks.
