Developmental milestones for a 2-year-old child
By the time they are two years old, they will start putting words together. Some children have a gap between a word and a reword. This is not wrong. It means they haven’t learned to ask for words yet. They will know a lot of words to give frequent speeches.

Developmental milestones for a 3-year-old child
By the time he was three years old, he would have started dressing himself.
The child will be the hero of the question. Wondering what! Their brain development and curiosity to know everything will make them ask more questions. Be patient and answer them in a way they can understand. Don’t give wrong messages. The reason is that this is the season of absorbing and storing the information given to it like a sponge.
A child who was stumbling over words can form sentences and speak fluently.
Children who grow up listening to stories will automatically imagine and talk. This will show the development of their imagination.
Milestones are very important in children’s lives. What is our role as parents? Children should be taught the things they want to learn, not pressured. If we feed the child thinking that it is a hassle to spill the food and wipe the place, the child will not get the pleasure of eating by himself. If he gets used to eating by staying by his side until he gets used to it, then the baby will reach that milestone. It is easy to read. How many days it takes to practice depends on the individuality of each child.
For us to be patient enough for children to reach their milestones, and for us to experience that joy is life itself.
