This section of the site aims to explain you Physical Development Milestones achieved by your toddler in his third year.
I can hear ‘Happy Birthday to you’, so you have celebrated your baby’s second Birthday. And if you are planning a birthday party, a friendly advice, keep it small, simple, sensible and short.
In terms of overall physical development, which slows down between the second and third birthday, the most noticeable change during this year is your toddler’s body proportions. As his limbs lengthen and his muscle strengthens from being used, his posture becomes more upright, with a flatter tummy.
The biggest change that you will probably notice in your child’s abilities as he enters the third year is his increased understanding of his own world and his relationship to it, including the people around him.
You may also notice that your child is becoming more and more interested in what you are doing. By letting him join in as much as possible in everyday activities, he will learn new skills as well as enjoy just being with you.
