Toddlers' growing stage starts from 12 months. Everything to them is something new and they are curious. Correct and proper teaching allows them to learn faster and easier. If you mislead your toddlers when they are young, it would be difficult when you want to correct later. So why not start educating them now? It is never too early to start education.

Remember, a toddler is a little kid, barely understands you. So you must be patient. Let me show you a few lessons to teach:

Teach them Manners

Every word that you say or every action that you do will be remembered and followed. You can teach those 2 simple ones; Please and Thank You. Example, when you want your toddler to give you something, you can point on the object and say please. And when the object is given to you, say thank you. When you are angry, remember not to say any harsh words in front of your toddler.

Teach them Colours

Learning colours can be fun! Gather some coloured toys or balls to play with. Pick a toy and ask your toddler to name the colour but he/she can't answer, tell them the right answer. Repeat the process until your toddler can recognize colours.

Teach them to Walk

Proper walking steps are a must to avoid body structure changes. When your toddler starts to crawl, help him/her up to a standing position. Help him/her walk by holding hands. Make sure that your toddler doesn't hunchback when walking.

Teach them to Eat

If toddlers are taught to eat at the right time, they won't ask for in between snacks unless they are really hungry.

Teach them to Sleep

Teach toddlers to sleep early and make sure they have enough of sleep. They may have short naps in the afternoon. You may need bottles of milk, pacifier; not recommended, storytelling, and whatever you can think of. When toddlers are sound asleep, parents can have a good night sleep too.

Teach them to Put Away Toys

Putting toys back into the right place will lead to tidiness when they grow up.
