19 months old Every child develops differently and learns new skills at their own individual pace. The average age for a child to begin talking is anywhere from 8-24 months. Continue to foster a love for learning and expose your child to learning experiences. Reading to your child several times throughout the day will increase their vocabulary. Children naturally enjoy learning and you can help them by not pushing or criticizing your child. As easy as it is, try not to compare your child to other children. More than likely, your child enjoys saying `no`. She can follow simple directions and enjoys naming objects that she sees in pictures and books.

During mealtime, expect a mess with your nineteen month old. Although she is doing better, she still does not have enough control to completely eliminate a mess. If you are worried about the mess on the floor, place a sheet on the floor under the highchair. You can shake it out after each meal and wash it when it becomes dirty. Bowls with sides make eating easier because she can push the foods against the sides. A spoon with a chunky short handle will be the easiest for your child's small hands. Serving your child's food at the same time the rest of the family is eating will help establish a mealtime schedule. Your toddler will also see how you eat and will begin to develop table manners.

Your child may have a security blanket, stuffed animal or other object. Many children claim objects and hold possession to their favorite item for a long time-usually until someone makes fun of them later in life. For many children, their security item offers a `friend` and they share everything together. Some children are not able to leave their security item at home when they go somewhere. You dot need to take the item away or make fun of your child. Allow your child to enjoy his `friend` and with time he will realize that the item can not solve any of his problems.

Your child learns by imitating what you do. If you don't want your child standing on chairs, don't let him see you do it. However, if you show respect and love for others, he will too. Enjoy your toddler during this time. Of course some days are better than others, but every day offers new chances for learning.

I'm probably about to sound like a terrible Mom lol, but we let Cole run around in the yard without his diaper for a while today at it was hilarious!!! He saw the dog on her territory marking patrol and he followed her imitating her every single time she would pee! Of course he wouldn't pee, just the rest of her actions lol! Just thought I'd share!

Kash peyton does that from time to time sometimes if I sit on on the potty he uses it but sometimes on the way there he floods lol

kashsmommy - Saturday, 19 May
Anybody else's LO been waking up in the morning with a dry diaper? Cole has had a dry diaper for the past three mornings and this morning I asked if he wanted to pee pee on his potty he said yeah and went to the bathroom, but wouldn't sit on the potty lol! He normally wakes up soaked so this is odd!
