Developmental Milestones - Children's Minnesota
Developmental milestones
2 to 3 years
As children grow, so do their skills. While not specific to your child, this education sheet can help you know what skills your child is likely to develop at this age.
Children develop at their own rate, learning some skills much quicker than others.
Progress also starts and stops. As some skills are learned, your child might go back to an earlier stage in some other areas for a time. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's development, talk with your doctor or nurse practitioner.
