Question:
What should a 2-year-old know? I'm worried that my daughter is behind the curve based on what other mothers in my moms' Facebook group are posting about their kids.
Dr. Ana’s Answer:
I would encourage you to (kindly) ignore what other mums say. Remember that childhood is not a race. Most children reach developmental milestones at or about the same age. Some will reach the milestones sooner and others a bit later. The fact that a child hits a milestone a bit later, does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong. If you are worried that something may be wrong, have a chat with your doctor. Moms very often exaggerate what their children can do!
In terms of what a 2 year old should be doing, have a read at this article where we explain it: Developmental Milestones at 2 Years Old.
I wish you and your little one all the very best.
Love,
Ana
