Parenting Tips for Your 19-20 Month Old Toddler
Let your child play in sand, dirt, and mud, even if he gets dirty. A pile of sand or dirt in the corner of the yard will be great. Keep the sand covered when it’s not in use to keep out cats and dogs.
Let your child play with water. Bathing, filling containers, and washing dishes are great fun.
Give him a bucket or can filled with clear water and an old paintbrush. Let him paint the sidewalk, the house, and everything he can reach.
Put a small dishpan of water on the kitchen floor or outdoors. Add a funnel, sponge, measuring spoons and cups, a washcloth, and a plastic squeeze bottle. He’ll enjoy pouring, washing and squirting.
Don’t leave him alone with water; he can drown in less than 2 inches of water.
All this is teaching your toddler about the world he lives in and it’s lots of fun.
