Developmental Guidance for Toddlers

Hard Developmental Stages And Transitions Toddler (1-3 Years)

A 2-year-old child is brought to the clinic for a routine check-up. The nurse assesses the child's development and notes that the child is beginning to engage in parallel play with peers and exhibits some signs of independence, such as showing preferences for certain toys and food. The nurse also observes that the child has begun to express a desire for autonomy, often using the word 'no' when asked to do something.

Considering these observations, what should the nurse emphasize to the parents regarding the developmental stage of their toddler?

Encourage strict discipline to prevent tantrums.

Support the child's initiative by allowing choices in play and daily activities.

Limit interactions with other children to reduce conflicts.

Foster attachment by discouraging the child's desire for independence.
