BrainWonders: 18-24 months Overview The second year of your toddler's life is an exciting one filled with energy and new discoveries about whom she is and what she can do. As large muscles become stronger and small muscles more coordinated, a new range of activities opens up which includes running, jumping, climbing, scooping, and pouring. You'll see your toddler's vocabulary grow each day, and soon, she will put two or more words together. She will enjoy times of "conversation" as you attentively listen and respond to what she is trying to say. You may also notice that she is able to remember more and more. Play times will take on a new dimension as she begins to "pretend" and understand symbols. However, playing may also produce some frustration as she struggles with ownership and self-control. Take heart-these are ways she is forming her identity and independence, and with your encouragement and guidance she can learn to share and take turns. Amazing things are happening in the brain during this time. New circuits are building which allow her to have more coordinated movement; the cerebellum is maturing, which helps her timing; more connections are forming in the cerebral cortex to help give her a better understanding of language; and associations are forming in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes which enable her to pretend. What can you do during this exciting time? Spend time listening, talking, and helping her explore her surroundings. Hands-on experiences are great-she will learn best by trying things herself in an environment that is safe for discovery. It's also a fun time to take her on outings to learn about new places and people. She will want to repeat things over and over, allowing her to practice her skills. Music and pretend play will also be fun for her, so sing songs and "make believe." Read on for more details about this amazing period in your toddler's development.
