Two year olds are probably some of the most active little people that you will ever interact with. In fact, when you see your child running, walking and attempting to jump, you’re likely to find it hard to believe that it’s only a few months since your child took those first few shaky steps.
Watch out for other signs of physical development – being able to throw a ball into a container with a large mouth, pedalling a tricycle and walking backwards or sideways.
Physical development is about practice, and there are lots of physical games you can play with your toddler to test her limits, and make sure her development is on track.
Try getting your toddler to attempt hopping on one foot, or join a mummy and toddler exercise or yoga class.
Make sure that your child practises physical activities in a safe environment, but otherwise, let them have free reign to try new things.
