Is This Normal? Ages 18 Months To 3 Years
Between the ages of 18 months to 3 years, children experience rapid development across all areas, including physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language skills. This period is characterized by increased independence, the expansion of their vocabulary, and the beginning of pretend play.
In this episode of Meaningful Medicine, Dr. Ryan Aubuchon, a pediatrician with Novant Health, walks us through this important time of development to help parents understand what’s typical. With years of experience and young children of his own, he’s supporting families through these foundational years with compassion and a practical perspective on what to look for during this time of rapid development.
