Toddlers love to try and figure out how things work. You should provide them with items that they can apart and it will be ok . Items that you will not be upset if you toddler takes it apart or break it s we like to say. This is where stem begins . Just think about it scientist and infants/toddlers a similar because they are always curious about how things work and why they work and what makes them work. Babies are born natural scientist but many times the caregiver erase that sense of inquiry form the young infants/toddlers by using the following "No don't touch" I do not want you to break up my stuff, Look you ripped the book.
You must provide an environment that is infant/toddler friendly where infants/toddlers can freely explore and will not hear word like "No and don't touch". The infant/toddler must have a variety of items at eye level that allows her to make choices . When she turns three you can then begin to set limits through guidance. Guidance teaches self regulation and self-discipline .
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
