What should I expect from my child's development at 18 months?

At 18 months, your child will experience significant milestones across various developmental areas. These include physical growth, language expansion, emotional changes, and improvements in motor skills. You can expect them to walk independently, speak a few words, and engage more with their surroundings and people.

How can I help my toddler improve their language skills?

To support your toddler’s language development, talk to them regularly, read books together, and encourage them to repeat new words. Engaging in everyday conversations, even about simple tasks, will also help them expand their vocabulary and communication abilities.

When should I be concerned about my child's development?

If your child is not reaching certain key developmental milestones, such as walking, speaking a few words, or engaging socially with others, it’s essential to consult with your paediatrician. Early detection of any delays can lead to better outcomes with timely support.

What types of activities are best for my child's growth at 18 months?

Physical activities such as walking, running, and climbing are excellent for motor skills, while pretend play, reading books, and interactive conversations help with cognitive and language development. Encouraging independent play can also promote their social and emotional growth.
