What's your toddler doing? By 23 months, your child can probably hum and sing and make three-word sentences like "Bird fly high." An artist, she can most likely copy circles and make line drawings. So encourage her with a big box of crayons and plenty of paper. And she's beginning to get a handle on opposites, like tall woman, short woman or big hamburger, little hamburger.
How is your life changing? Does your child want a hug one minute and push you away the next? Don't take her vacillating needs for closeness and self-assertion personally. They're all part of growing up. (See what our experts have to say on the topic.)
As her world view broadens, your toddler will take more of an interest in playing with other children. She might imitate how an older sibling plays soccer or follow after other kids as they play tag.
