Your Talking Child
Talk about and describe pictures in books
and the things you see and hear together.
Parent-child play, where the child leads, is
the best way to help toddlers learn to talk.
Read to your child every day.
Your child may love hearing the same story
over and over.
Ask your child to point to things as you read.
Stop a story to let your child make an animal
sound or finish a part of the story.
Use correct language; be a good model for
your child.
Talk slowly and remember that it may take a
while for your child to respond.
Your Child and TV
It is better for toddlers to play than watch TV.
Limit TV to 1–2 hours or less each day.
Watch TV together and discuss what you see
and think.
Be careful about the programs and
advertising your young child sees.
Do other activities with your child such as
reading, playing games, and singing.
Be active together as a family. Make sure
your child is active at home, at child care,
and with sitters.
Safety
Be sure your child’s car safety seat is
correctly installed in the back seat of all
vehicles.
All children 2 years or older, or those
younger than 2 years who have outgrown
the rear-facing weight or height limit for
their car safety seat, should use a forward-
facing car safety seat with a harness for as
long as possible, up to the highest weight
or height allowed by their car safety seat’s
manufacturer.
Everyone should wear a seat belt in the car.
Do not start the vehicle until everyone is
buckled up.
Never leave your child alone in your home or
yard, especially near cars, without a mature
adult in charge.
When backing out of the garage or driving
in the driveway, have another adult hold
your child a safe distance away so he is not
run over.
Keep your child away from moving machines,
lawn mowers, streets, moving garage doors,
and driveways.
Have your child wear a good-fitting helmet
on bikes and trikes.
Never have a gun in the home. If you must
have a gun, store it unloaded and locked
with the ammunition locked separately from
the gun.
Toilet Training
Signs of being ready for toilet training
Dry for 2 hours
Knows if she is wet or dry
Can pull pants down and up
Wants to learn
Can tell you if she is going to have a bowel
movement
Plan for toilet breaks often. Children use the
toilet as many as 10 times each day.
Help your child wash her hands after toileting
and diaper changes and before meals.
Clean potty chairs after every use.
Teach your child to cough or sneeze into her
shoulder. Use a tissue to wipe her nose.
Take the child to choose underwear when
she feels ready to do so.
How Your Child Behaves
Praise your child for behaving well.
It is normal for your child to protest being
away from you or meeting new people.
Listen to your child and treat him with
respect. Expect others to as well.
Play with your child each day, joining in
things the child likes to do.
Hug and hold your child often.
Give your child choices between 2 good
things in snacks, books, or toys.
Help your child express his feelings and
name them.
Help your child play with other children, but
do not expect sharing.
Never make fun of the child’s fears or allow
others to scare your child.
Watch how your child responds to new
people or situations.
