21 Months Developmental Milestones
At 21 months, assess your toddler's development and milestones. This includes a thorough evaluation of physical attributes, motor and visual skills, and social and emotional behaviors. It is essential to understand and keep an eye on the 21 months developmental milestones for your toddler's overall wellbeing and to provide the right kind of support for their ongoing development. By monitoring and evaluating these developmental milestones, you can gain important insights into your child's journey from fine motor skills to social interactions, enabling you to support and mentor them through this critical early stage.
At 21 months, toddlers typically exhibit exciting developmental milestones. They begin to express their needs more explicitly, asking for food, toys, and familiar items. You may observe spontaneous noun and verb combinations in their speech, like saying 'eat cracker.' Additionally, they grasp the concept of using the word 'yes.' Moreover, cognitive abilities start to emerge as they engage in deductive reasoning. This means they can apply principles learned earlier to new situations. For instance, your toddler might pull a chair over to reach something previously out of their grasp. These 21 months developmental milestones reflect the growing cognitive, linguistic, and problem-solving skills in your child's developmental journey.
