4.2: What Infant and Toddlers are Like

During the infant/toddler years, all children depend on responsive, secure relationships to develop and learn. Let’s explore what infants and toddlers are like in terms of their progression through developmental milestones, so that we can connect it to what they need from adults. Here are some representations of what children are like as infants and toddlers. You can find other ages and more developmental milestones in Appendix C.[1]
