They are learning about themselves and their relationships to others and the world around them, while becoming much more physically able and confident.<\/p><p>By the time your toddler is 2 years old, you\u2019ll probably be able to tell whether they are right- or left-handed. Their preference will have been decided when they were in the womb, but it can take a while to spot, as children generally use both hands equally as babies. Left-handedness is relatively uncommon, with only 7\u201310% of the adult population being left-handed.<\/p><p>Whichever hand your toddler prefers, they&#8217;ll often use their dominant side to scribble, kick a ball and feed themselves. They may even be able to use their preferred hand to brush their teeth \u2013 with a little help.<\/p><p>Sometime between 2 and 3 years old, you may notice signs that your toddler is developing the skills and bladder control needed to use the potty.

Found in high levels in meat, oily fish and eggs, it is also available from plant sources, including beans and dark green, leafy vegetables.<\/p><p>Astonishingly, about 30% of toddlers aged between 12 months and 2 years aren\u2019t getting the recommended daily amount<sup>1<\/sup>, so every parent needs to be aware of this vital nutrient. Even if your child is being picky, try to encourage them to eat at least one iron-rich food every day. You can make iron-rich meats easy to eat by offering soft casseroles or stews or very thinly sliced meats. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, so serving vegetables with each meal, or fruit as a dessert will maximise their intake.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p><p>If your toddler refuses to eat iron-rich foods despite your best efforts at encouragement, for non-breastfeed infants, an iron-enriched growing up milk can help to contribute to meet their needs.<\/p><p>Vitamin D is important for healthy bone development; it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for your 2-year-old\u2019s growing bones. The body produces vitamin D in response to direct sunlight on the skin.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p><p>Food sources of vitamin D include eggs, oily fish and fortified breakfast cereals. Including them in your child\u2019s diet on a regular basis can help to increase their intake.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p><p>For non-breastfeed infants, giving them a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptafrica.com\/toddlers\/importance-of-growing-up-milk\/\">growing up milk is another good way to supplement their diet<\/a> \u2013 some varieties are fortified with vitamin D as well as other important nutrients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-14bb0d4 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"39384\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"14bb0d4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b7815d3\" data-eae-slider=\"27293\" data-id=\"b7815d3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ef34254 elementor-section-stretched arabic-right elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"75530\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"ef34254\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d312aa4\" data-eae-slider=\"52485\" data-id=\"d312aa4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a061cb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a061cb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Encouraging healthy emotional development<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ea71e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ea71e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Between 24 and 36 months, your toddler is at an important stage of emotional development. They are learning about feelings and becoming more empathetic to the feelings of others.<\/p><p>Sometimes, their emotions can run high, which can be scary for your toddler. They may occasionally experience more emotion than they can handle or communicate, and this can boil over into tantrums or even biting or kicking. This happens to most children at some point and the key is to stay calm. Overreactions can make children feel anxious, so try to avoid big outbursts: explaining your own emotions can be a good way to calm yourself and get some rational perspective on a situation.<\/p><p>You can help your toddler learn to cope by naming their emotions for them and letting them know it\u2019s ok to feel anger, sadness or frustration. Being open about when you feel similar emotions can help them learn that everyone has feelings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9625abb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"42008\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"9625abb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-67e738f\" data-eae-slider=\"88728\" data-id=\"67e738f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7d6264 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"d7d6264\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c8bdab elementor-section-stretched arabic-right elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"53628\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"9c8bdab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71a76fb\" data-eae-slider=\"65842\" data-id=\"71a76fb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-858540d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"858540d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When your toddler\u2019s development takes a step back<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c988207 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c988207\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Toddlers can regress in their development from time to time.

Don\u2019t worry \u2013 regressions are temporary and with some extra attention and time, your toddler will be back on track.<\/p><p>The best way to respond to a regression is to acknowledge your child\u2019s feelings.
