Your Toddler’s Changing Behavior is Normal Child Development
Parenting Tips for Your 13-14 Month Old Toddler
You can look back over the last year with pride. You have many memories of the times you have shared with your baby. Remember when you thought her crying would never stop? Remember the time she giggled and you felt good just enjoying her happiness?
Now you and your baby are ready to move into the exciting second year. She will be growing fast and learning a lot this next year. This year is a very important time for your child. It is:
- A time when your child moves from babyhood into childhood.
- A time for her to learn new skills, such as feeding herself.
- A time when she can do a lot of things but does not always know how these actions could hurt her or others.
- A time when her curiosity will make you happy as well as make you tired.
Guiding and caring for your child this next year will be a challenging and exciting job. She’ll need a lot of attention and help from you. You’ll need a sense of humor, some time for yourself, and lots of common sense.
Knowing that your child’s changing behavior is both normal and temporary can help you during this time. Enjoy and celebrate your child’s second year.
