The toddler milestone 48 months is another big step in early child development. Their toddler language development will be very advanced and they will be able to make themselves understood to most people. However they will still make mistakes with words and sentences that you can correct as you go a long.

Having got lots of praise and encouragement in earlier years will mean their toddler behavior is good and they will be helpful and co-operative.

Your child will now be very sociable and enjoy playing with other children regularly. They will have a mind of their own and will tell you and the other children what they want to play.

They are now very independant and will be feeding themselves and getting dressed and undressed themselves. They enjoy spending lots of time with adults who make time for them and encourage them.

At this age a lot of children are spending some time in daycare of some kind. Either a mother toddler playgroup, nursery or creche. They will benefit from interacting with other children and learning about friendships.

They will also be doing structured activities that are designed as toddler learning activities. So even though they don't realise it they will be learning new things.

A lot of children will be starting at school later this year. It is a big transition in a childs life and they need to be told how much fun and exciting it will be.
