Parenting Tips for Your 21-22 Month Old Toddler
Teach your child to become a helper in your family. Even young children can help with some household jobs. In helping, your child will begin to learn responsibility and will feel useful.
Begin by helping your child with the job. Keep each job simple. Tell your child what good work he’s done. Here are some jobs a toddler can do:
- Pick up toys and put them away.
- Put books and magazines back on the shelf.
- Put napkins and silverware on the table.
- Clean up the floor after eating.
- Help wipe up after spills.
Remember; don’t expect a perfect job from your toddler. Do expect him to help and do praise what he does.
