Course Description

Toddlerhood is a remarkable stage in child development where children begin to explore the world around them with increasing independence. From their first words to their first steps, toddlers are learning how to communicate, move, and interact with others. However, this period can also be challenging, as toddlers often struggle with frustration due to their limited language skills and growing desire for autonomy.

In this course, you will learn about the different aspects of toddler development, including their cognitive and emotional growth, the importance of play in their social development, and strategies to support them through milestones such as toilet training and social interaction.
