Wow, can you believe how much your little one has grown? At 22 months, your toddler is likely to be bursting with energy and personality! While they may be small, their emotions can be quite large. It’s common for children at this age to experience frustration, especially when they have a lot to say but lack the words to express themselves. This can lead to those notorious toddler tantrums.
As you navigate through this exciting time, it’s essential to maintain a sense of routine and consistency. Your child thrives on familiarity, so any major changes to their daily schedule or environment might not be well-received. What seems mundane to you can be incredibly comforting for them.
Developmental Milestones
- Sleep Needs: Most toddlers require around 11 to 14 hours of sleep each day. This usually includes a nap lasting from one and a half to two and a half hours.
- Nutrition: At this stage, it’s important for toddlers to consume approximately 700 milligrams of calcium daily. This can typically be achieved with two to three servings of dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Did you know that toddlers’ vocabulary often expands significantly after their 18th month? By 22 months, many children may start using close to 50 words, although there’s quite a range when it comes to speech development.
Don’t be surprised if your little one is on the emotional side; this is a normal part of their growth. Offering them reassurance and support can help ease their frustrations.
