24-month-old baby development indicators and standards

A 24-month-old baby is already in the age group of two years old, so children of this age group do not have sufficient immunity. Therefore, as a parent, you would like to know the baby's developmental indicators and standards at this time. The following content has been given to many parents in detail. You can have a comprehensive understanding and specifically know the developmental indicators and standards for a 24-month-old baby.

Physical Standards

Weight: 10.1-15.5 kg for boys; 9.6-14.7 kg for girls.

Height: 81.7-95.2 cm for boys; 80.7-93.9 cm for girls.

Teeth: 18 primary teeth emerge.

Physical Skill Development

The baby's hand-eye coordination is getting better and better, and he will patiently string the beads with small eyes one by one. As long as the baby wants to do something, he will try to do it. Although he may seem clumsy at times, he will not be discouraged and insist on finishing the task. The baby begins to draw some meaningful pictures based on his own ideas, such as the moon, the sun, apples, and bananas.

A 24-month-old baby can open the door latch, draw simple shapes, build more layers of blocks, play with puzzle illustrations, fold paper under the guidance of an adult, and creatively fold a small animal. Although it does not look like one, it is the baby's creation and the mother should praise it. They will also dress the toy dolls, laying the foundation for the baby to dress himself in the future.

Emotional development

A 2-year-old baby's independence continues to increase, he begins to have self-discipline, and is particularly concerned about his own feelings. The baby begins to try to do things he likes and begins to feel his parents' emotions towards him. However, since the baby's cognitive ability is still very limited, when the mother stops the baby from doing something in order to avoid danger, the baby may feel that the mother "does not love him anymore." What the baby sees is the mother's outward behavior, and what he feels is the mother's "unfriendly attitude." Therefore, when a mother wants to seriously and firmly stop her baby from doing something, she should first tell the baby "Mom loves you", which will keep the baby's emotional development on a healthy track.

Social skills

The baby begins to like playing with other children, but lacks a spirit of cooperation and does not know how to share happiness with other children. This is normal and you should not think that your baby is unsociable. Parents don't need to spend a lot of time teaching their babies how to share games with other children; there is no need to persuade their babies to be generous and give their favorite toys or food to other children. This will make the baby feel "disadvantaged" and will not help the child who is crying and shouting for things. Instead, it will encourage that child to grab other people's things.

Language development

The language development of a 2-year-old baby has reached a new level, and his vocabulary has exploded again. The baby has a stronger ability to express his needs in words and is able to have interactive conversations with his parents. At the same time, the baby shows a strong interest in language and is willing to use new words to communicate with his mother.

The baby likes to mumble to himself, saying words that no one can understand. He often talks to himself, and even his parents can't hear what he is saying. Maybe the baby is replaying voices that he couldn't understand before; maybe the baby wants to imitate the intonation and rhythm of adults' speech, but because he doesn't have a rich vocabulary, he can only mumble words that no one can understand.

If your baby starts stuttering this month, it does not mean that the baby has abnormal language development or intellectual disability. Babies at this stage have a rapidly growing vocabulary and can understand almost everything their parents say, and can even understand the language on TV. The baby's ability to use words has improved, and he wants to express his thoughts better through language, but the baby's thoughts always come before the language, so stuttering is inevitable.

Cognitive status

At this time, the baby has a strong ability to imitate and a strong desire to imitate. He will do whatever his mother wants to do. Imitation before the age of 2 is mostly delayed, and the child may start to imitate the mother's actions after a few hours or even a few days. That’s not the case now, action must be taken immediately. If the mother is mopping the floor with a mop, the baby will immediately grab it and do the job, becoming a "little troublemaker".

Babies of this age can already count, but mothers need to reinforce the concept of numbers for their babies. If the number is 1, put 1 building block in front of the baby, and when the number is 2, put 2 building blocks in front of the baby. Babies can also distinguish that 2 is more than 1, and 1 is less than 2. The baby can also distinguish which items are edible and which are not edible among a pile of items.

The indicators and standards for the development of a 24-month-old baby are introduced in detail above for many parents. So if your child is at the two-year-old stage, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the above content. Through understanding, you can know whether your child’s current development standards have been met. If not, you can supplement your child with diet to allow him to continue to meet the two-year-old baby’s development indicator standards.
