With excellent physical control, toddlers are now non-stop flurries of activity. By the end of the second year, toddlers can walk steadily, run, walk backwards and often jump too. These abilities enable a slew of activities and freedom to select the proper action for achieving an objective, such as, slowing down and changing direction, opening a door while taking a few steps back, and even dancing to the sounds of music in the backdrop.
You may notice an increased interest in playing with balls: toddlers love sitting on the floor with legs spread apart, and rolling a ball forward and back or throwing it above their head. A two-year old will also extend the arms to catch a ball, closing her eyes and tilting her head aside in anticipation of its imminent arrival. At two, toddlers may also begin to peddle on a tricycle.
Toddlers now crave and embrace independence: for instance, they delight in eating on their own, and demand to hold the a cup with two hands and sip.
