Here's what you might see your child doing between the ages
of 18 and 24 months.
Each child is unique. It is therefore difficult to describe
exactly what should be expected at each stage of a child's
development. While certain attitudes, behaviors, and
physical milestones tend to occur at certain ages, a wide
spectrum of growth and behavior for each age is normal.
These guidelines are offered as a way of showing a general
progression through the developmental stages rather than as
fixed requirements for normal development at specific ages.
It is perfectly natural for a child to attain some
milestones earlier and other milestones later than the
general trend. Keep this in mind as you review these
milestones.
If you have any concerns related to your child's own pattern
of development, check with your pediatrician or family
physician.
