Parenting Tips for Your 15-16 Month Old Toddler
Your toddler is learning about movement. Help him discover how things move. If he likes dropping something from his high chair, give him a paper napkin to drop and let him watch how the air moves it. Give him a sponge or stuffed toy to throw. He likes to hear the sounds things make when they hit the floor.
Tell him the names of things and what they do. Roll, bounce, splat. He will soon find out that things that go splat get your attention. Bounce him gently on your knee or lap or clap with him in time to music. He likes the movement and the music.
Let him have space indoors and outdoors to practice crawling and walking. He is going to be running by the end of the year. Right now, let him practice crawling, standing, sitting, and walking on his own.
