While picky eating is typical for this age, there are a few behaviors that fall into the category of a feeding disorder. For a variety of reasons—food aversions or refusing to eat, for example—these kids may not eat enough to gain weight at a healthy rate or may even lose weight.
Feeding disorders are more common among kids who have developmental delays, but they can happen with any child.
If you suspect your child has a feeding disorder, get an evaluation from your pediatrician. They may refer your child to a dietician, a psychiatrist or psychologist, a speech language pathologist, an occupational therapist or all of the above.
For a month-old, playtime equals learning time, so make sure your child has plenty of opportunities to use their imagination and motor skills away from the tablet or TV screen. So what to do with a month-old? Some fun activities, games and toys for a month-old include:. Choose books that rhyme, or sing songs and say nursery rhymes and poems together.
This helps your child increase their vocabulary and learn rhythm—not to mention, they're a lot of fun! Thirty-two-month-olds tend to love to dress up in costumes, or mimic their parents by talking into a play phone, wearing your shoes or sweeping the floor.
Structured activities, like a trip to the playground or the aquarium, are certainly fun, but don't feel like your month-old needs to be scheduled every second. Set aside time where your child can bang on pots and pans with wooden spoons, "camp" in a cardboard box, or race their toy cars across the living room floor—whatever it is they want to do.
Most kids are ready to begin toilet training sometime between the ages of 2 and 3. If your child can stay dry for a couple of hours, lets you know when their diaper is wet or soiled, or shows an interest in using the potty, they're probably ready. Keep the motivation positive and pressure-free.
Kids this age learn best by example, so take them into the bathroom with you when you go if you feel comfortable with that. Even better? Point out older friends or siblings who use the potty, and talk it up!
Set aside "me time" to decompress and enjoy some quality time with your family by saying "no" to unnecessary pastimes or activities.
And consider hiring a sitter here and there to avoid burnout. Experts recommend less than one hour of screen time per day for toddlers between the ages of 2 and 3. Not only does it help your toddler burn off energy, but it can promote coordination, balance and control of speed. Keep things simple.
Toddlers love routine, so stick with a simple daily schedule like taking a bath, putting on pajamas and reading a book.
