Your toddler: 22 months old
Does any of this sound familiar" Your toddler wants to open the front door by themselves but can?t quite manage the handle yet. You ask if they want help, they yell ?Yes? and you open the door and hold it open for them. Cue the wails because they actually wanted to hold the door open for you. (Did we mention it was raining") Of course, when this happens, you may easily earn a big grin the very next day for doing the exact same thing. The day after that, you may be the worst parent ever for even offering to open the door. Negotiating toddler independence and dependence can be a wild ride, to say the least. Their bodies sometimes haven?t caught up with their brains, so while they may know what they want to do, they may not be able to do it or have the words to express all those feelings. Living in the moment?that is, responding to their needs on that particular day?is often your best option. Be patient and keep reminding yourself that it?s just how toddlers learn. 22-months-old development & milestones
Meeting other people
Figuring out how to interact with others is definitely a biggie when it comes to toddler behaviour. When you have friends over for a meal, your toddler may be smiley, outgoing and eager to show them their favourite stuff or they may be shy and clingy. Both reactions are totally normal. For the shy guys, give them some calm reassurance and let them come around to visitors on their own.
