Ages 6‑12 Months
How You Can Help Social and Emotional Development 6 – 12 months Respond to your toddler’s calls or signals for help and attention (whenever you can) to
build trust. Create and follow regular routines. Offer choices you are comfortable with. For example, “Do you want this cup or that
cup?” Model good manners: use “please” and “thank you.” Play face‑to‑face games, such as peekaboo or making faces together. Talk about what happens next in routines or upcoming events. Provide safe places for your toddler to explore. Continue to breastfeed. Smile at your toddler. Cuddle your toddler. Comfort your toddler, especially when she or he is upset, sick, or hurt. Create routines and structure in your toddler’s day. Turn everyday routines into playful moments. Talk about your toddler’s emotions: “I see you are feeling sad/happy/frustrated.” Ask your toddler for hugs and kisses. Provide your toddler with chances to play with other children and to be around people.
What Your Toddler Is Likely to Do
Other Things Your Toddler May Do
Show affection openly, for example, by hugging and kissing.
Use social language, such as “please,” “thank you,” and “bye‑bye.”
Play with others and take turns more easily. Play make‑believe games and create
imaginary characters. Be upset with major changes in routines. Know and respond to other people’s feelings. Become more comfortable with new people. Want to do things by her‑ or himself, but may
fear new experiences. Want approval and need praise.
Copy adult behaviours, such as shopping, banking, parenting, breastfeeding, or cooking.
Create an imaginary friend to talk to. Be more comfortable around new adults. Help other children to do things. Develop skills such as taking turns, sharing, and
using words instead of fighting. Explain his or her feelings when asked about
them. Understand the feelings of other children and talk
about them. Stamp feet when frustrated. Ask you to tell certain stories to help deal with her
or his fears.
Ages 30‑36 Months
How You Can Help Social and Emotional Development
Introduce your toddler to familiar neighbours and community workers. Show affection with hugs and loving words. Praise good behaviour. Instead of saying “good girl,” or “good boy,” say, “Sharing your
teddy with Kim was very kind.” Provide chances to play with other children. Encourage your toddler to wash, dress, and feed plastic dolls to teach caring for others. Encourage imaginary play. Join in with questions: “Is the tea ready?” Make sure you are nearby to help your toddler solve problems when playing with other
children. Make sure a trusted adult is close by when children are playing. Continue to breastfeed. Praise your toddler’s new skills and when she or he does something without help. Accept your toddler’s feelings and talk about them. Give and use words for feelings: “disappointed,” “hurt,” “thrilled,” “excited.” Talk very simply about your own feelings as examples. Listen to and understand your toddler’s fears. Sing songs and read stories about emotions. Talk about the feelings of a story’s characters
and why the characters might feel that way.
