So what\u2019s a toddler to do? What <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they does<\/span> best, of course &#8211; play!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be hard to tell sometimes whether toddlers have endless energy, or they just don\u2019t have the brakes built in so they can slow down when they start to get tired out &#8211; and the truth is that it\u2019s probably a little bit of both. This means that most days, the trick to helping <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> get the exercise <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> body and brain require to keep <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> growing strong and healthy is as simple as figuring out what <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they likes<\/span> to do and turning <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> loose. If <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they likes<\/span> climbing, playgrounds are probably the place for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>. If <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> at home in the water, check your community center or local community pool for free swim times. If <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they thinks<\/span> climbing up and down stairs is a good time, see if you can\u2019t make friends with someone who lives somewhere tall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On days when <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is feeling a little less cooperative, though, getting <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> required amount of running-around time might take a little bit more participation from you. The trick is to find activities that will keep <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> active and interested without exhausting you in the process. Follow-along games like Follow The Leader can be a great place to start, but if you\u2019re too tuckered out to lead, games like Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, and Mother May I are great for getting <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> moving without making you commit to chasing around after <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is running around, there\u2019s a good chance that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they might<\/span> try to run off to somewhere <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they shouldn\u2019t<\/span> &#8211; and <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> reaching an age where just distracting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> isn\u2019t the best way to discourage <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> from doing dangerous things or breaking rules. Instead, it\u2019s much more effective to set the limit, and tell <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> not allowed to run into the road, or to push past younger children, before distracting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By setting a limit and then distracting <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>, you\u2019ll give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> the chance to feel secure knowing what your expectations are, and then to refocus on a new activity that\u2019s fun, and isn\u2019t against the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Milestones<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Makes a joke:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maybe <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s ahead of the class, and has been cracking jokes for months, but if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> developing along the same timeline as a lot of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> peers, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> reaching the point where <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> sense of humor is sophisticated enough to be making jokes on purpose. If <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is doing things to make you (or <span data-pronoun=\"themselves\" class=\"pronoun-themselves\">themselves<\/span>!) giggle, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> showing great signs of maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Copying other children:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You might remember copying other children as being a <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bad<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thing when you were on the playground, but at <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s age, copying other children\u2019s actions is an important step in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> social development.
