Being a parent of a two-year old requires patience, guidance from family and friends, and a good sense of humour. Here are a few milestones from age 18 to 24 months.

At 18 months, your little one who is up on his/her feet may demonstrate the following:

• Start to run but not well coordinated yet
• Walking up the stairs with assistance (holding to the railing/parent’s hand)
• Removing some parts of clothing such as socks,/hairband
• Listens to story telling
• Decrease in appetite as he/she is easily distracted

By 24 months, your toddler will be:

• Walking without assistance
• Running steadily
• Has a vocabulary of 50 to 300 words (varies from child to child)
• Start to form sentence consisting of 2 to 4 words
• Doddle with crayons or colour pencils
• Able to feed himself/herself

With all these development in your child’s milestone, having the right nutrition is important to support his/her mental & physical growth.
