You’ll know you’ve got a brave child when you're at a park or playgroup and before you know it – Whoosh! Your little bundle of energy has shot off to explore. It’s brilliant that they’re so curious - the more children see, the more they learn, and while all that climbing might be hair-raising for you, it can really help to improve their confidence and co-ordination!

Your brave child is very independent and can’t wait to be grown up, so try to involve them in the things you do every day. The Play section has tons of fun ideas for keeping toddlers busy around the house, from ‘helping’ with the housework to baking. They also like to hear what a good boy or clever girl they are, so when they do a good job, try to give lots of praise – it’ll help them get even more confident!

Making new friends comes easily, but sharing their toys with them might prove tricky. As brave children love to play, games are a great way to start learning about sharing. Try playing games where you take turns, such as Baby Basketball or Skittles.

Learning to share can be fun!
