At this age your toddler will be showing thier own individual character. They are starting to know exactly what they like and don't like. They are very mobile now and they have thier favorite games and toys which they play with repeatedly.

They want to do new things and and be helpful. However they get frustrated easily if you won't let them for such reasons as safety. They may become upset if they struggle to do something that they have yet to learn the skills for.

This time is known as the "terrible twos" and as they can't always do as thay want and get frustrated by this. At this age they are becoming louder and will laugh and squeal when they are happy.

When it comes to playing they enjoy playing around other children but don't yet play together. This is known as parallel play where both children are playing by themselves but side by side.
