Other skills, though, are a little harder to pin down the timing for, and that\u2019s because they have a lot to do with environment. For example, toddlers who live in homes with more than one story tend to learn to climb stairs faster than tots who live in single-level homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> may have mastered the stairs by now, no matter what the floorplan of your home looks like, but there are plenty of other milestones that depend on <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> opportunity and interest as much as <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> development. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They may<\/span> pass certain milestones in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> drawing or pre-writing skills sooner if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they loves<\/span> to color, and spends lots of time doing it. And <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> not going to start pedaling a tricycle if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> never seen one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of this will be guided by <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s interests, and some of it may be related to where you live &#8211; city-dwelling tots may have fewer chances for rough-and-tumble outdoor climbing, for example. But giving <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>\u00a0a lot of opportunity for free play both indoors and outdoors (assuming outdoor play is safe where you live, of course) along with a lot of unguided arts and crafts time is a great way to make sure <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is getting all the opportunities for exploration <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they needs<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, a toddler\u2019s life isn\u2019t all fun and games &#8211; this is a great time to start having <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> help you out with small, age-appropriate tasks around your home. Small tasks like helping you pair socks while you fold laundry, sweeping with a child-sized broom, or using a pail of warm, soapy water to wipe baseboards while you clean the floor can introduce the idea of being partially responsible for keeping <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> home running smoothly &#8211; but they also give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> self-confidence in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> abilities and will make <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> proud to be able to help you out. They also give <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> the chance to use new physical skills and try new things &#8211; and when you look at it that way, chores can be pretty fun, so maybe it is all fun and games after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kinds of tasks you can ask <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> to help you out with these days might not actually <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help <\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the sense that they make your life that much easier &#8211; or not yet, anyway. But they\u2019re a starting place that lays the groundwork for more help in the future, and with a little creativity, you can come up with tasks that might start to take a little bit off your plate. Of course, different families follow different philosophies, and you might not be ready to assign little tasks like this, but there are plenty of other ways to start to teach toddlers about the basics of personal responsibility &#8211; the first and most important of which is just modeling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way you and your partner act informs the way <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> will grow up to feel that adults <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> act. This means that the way you and your partner work together to look after your home and family is making an impression on <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> even as you\u2019re reading this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Milestones<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Asks \u201cwhat,\u201d \u201cwhy,\u201d or \u201chow,\u201d questions:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not every toddler goes through a \u201cwhy\u201d phase, or the less catchy \u201chow,\u201d or \u201cwhat\u2019s that?\u201d phase, but many tots <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s age do, and when they do, it\u2019s part of a bigger phenomenon of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> fascination with the world around <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> and the way <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> starting to understand how some key parts of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> world work. This shows <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> that the world is something that <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be understood, though it all seemed mysterious in the past.
