Parenting Tips for Your 23-24 Month Old Toddler

Your child moves around quickly now. He may like to run more than he likes to walk. He doesn’t know what things could hurt him and may do something dangerous.

Don’t let him play near the street. Always hold his hand when you are in a parking lot or crossing a street or driveway. Use a car safety seat every time your child is in the car. Buckle the safety seat in the car with the car’s seat belt. Never leave your little one alone in the car.
