On-the-Move Marvels: 19 Months old Milestones

Your tiny explorer is on the move! How do they exhibit improved balance and coordination, leading to fewer tumbles and stumbles?

As your toddler’s muscles and coordination improve, they become more confident in their movements, allowing them to navigate their environment with greater ease. However, there might be fewer instances of tripping over unexpected falls when he is walking and running. Their adventurous spirit shines as they clamber over furniture, climb up and down chairs, and explore a broader range of playground equipment with newfound confidence.

 At this stage, you can spot your child enjoying and running freely in the park or in the garden. 

Imaginary Adventures: Unleashing Imaginative Play

Imaginative play takes centre stage. How is your child beginning to use toys to create imaginative scenarios?

Imaginative play fosters creativity and problem-solving skills, allowing your child to explore the world around them in new and exciting ways. 

You may spot your child opening and closing cupboards. His developing curiosity makes him want to see what goes on outside and to explore closed cupboards. Your small baby has now grown up and can use all his senses, including sight, hearing and touch, to learn about the world in which he lives and becomes more confident in exploring new environments.

Problem-Solving Whizzes: Building Blocks to Success

Problem-solving is a key skill. How does your toddler’s growing ability to solve simple puzzles and complete tasks contribute to their development?

Problem-solving enhances cognitive development, encouraging your child to think critically and overcome challenges independently.

Physical Growth

Let’s check out all the developmental milestones that your 19-month-old milestones will have attained at this point.
He’ll be able to move in various directions and run without assistance. He might be able to move sideways, backwards, and even upstairs by himself. He’ll be sprinting with more energy than grace, and he might trip over while charging. He can run, but his motions are not entirely within his control.

He won’t be able to precisely judge distances right now, thus in most situations, he won’t be able to apply the brake to prevent collisions.
In light of this circumstance, it’s critical to make sure your youngster has a secure area in which to run or walk quickly.

Artistic Expressions: From Playdough to Crayons

Creative expression blossoms. How does your child engage with modelling materials and leave their artistic mark on paper?

Artistic activities stimulate fine motor skills and self-expression, allowing your child to communicate in new ways.

You can spot your child enjoying to play with modelling materials like play dough or clay, and sand and water- making shapes and drawing ‘pictures’ into the surface. The small milestones of your baby has achieved new heights now you can observe him pouring water accurately from one container into another one without too much splashing. His skills on drawing with crayons on paper has improved tremendously. You can see him catching balls and stacking small wooden blocks on top of each other to make a tower of perhaps five bricks.

Social Butterflies Emerging

Social development is key. How is your toddler interacting with you and other children, and what social skills are they acquiring?

Early social interactions lay the foundation for healthy relationships and emotional intelligence later in life. The child begins to understand and appreciate your company and makes an effort to engage your attention through either talk or play.

You can spot your baby starting to walk few backward steps, begins to interact with other children but needs lots of basic social guidance. He is now able to understand few simple rules, although he may not always comply with them.

Did you know?

Famous premature babies include Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Mark Twain, Stevie Wonder, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Winston Churchill.

Potty Training Prowess: A Glimpse into Independence at 19 Months old Milestones

Independence is on the horizon. How is your toddler showing signs of readiness for potty training?

Potty training marks a significant step towards independence and self-care, boosting your child’s confidence and sense of achievement. Although full control is unlikely at this age.

Language Blooms: From Words to Phrases

Language development is captivating. How is your child’s vocabulary expanding, and what speech milestones are they reaching?

Language skills are vital for communication and cognitive development, shaping your child’s ability to express themselves and understand others.

You can spot that your child is interested in conversations and begins to learn conversational conventions, such as giving and waiting for answers. At this point, the child has extended his vocabulary to dozens of words, mostly nouns that describe a general class of object such as ‘car’ for all vehicles or ‘house’ for all buildings. He might try to join you in songs. He has started to put words together to form two-word phrases and has started spotting familiar characters and objects in picture books and photographs and tries to name them. The child is now aware that speech is about social contact as well as communicating basic needs.

Routine Reliability: Embracing Daily Consistency

Daily routines provide security. How does your child benefit from a regular daily schedule?

Predictable routines offer stability and comfort, helping your child feel safe and secure as they explore the world.

Milestones for 19-Month-Old Motor Skills

Throughout toddlerhood, motor skills continue to develop, and at 19-month-old milestones, this is still the case. Children are getting better at both fine and gross motor abilities at this age. They are becoming more assured in their gait and running skills, and a good number of them can climb stairs and perform other tasks that call for coordination and balance!

They are gaining the dexterity necessary to pick up little things with a pincer hold in the realm of fine motor skills, and they will probably practice that during mealtimes. Make sure kids are sticking their markers to the paper because they are frequently eager to doodle and sketch!
These achievements demonstrate their maturation not only physically but also in terms of their increasing independence and global exploration.
