Toddlers are children who are 1 to 3 years old. During this time, they go through many new physical, emotional, and intellectual experiences. Behavior becomes an increasingly important issue for parents. Children in this age group begin to develop and assert a sense of autonomy and independence, which consequently poses unique concerns and disciplinary challenges for parents. Emphasized here are behavior and psychologic development and the most common behavioral issues arising in this age group of children. The toddler years are the period to let children build up good manners, good habits, and social skills!
