About this Course

Toddlerhood is an exciting and often challenging stage of development marked by rapid growth, increasing independence, and ever-changing emotions. Between 18 months and 3 years of age, children experience significant cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development as they learn to communicate their needs, explore their environment, and establish a sense of autonomy. While these developmental milestones are important for healthy growth, they can also contribute to behaviors that adults may find difficult to manage. This course provides an in-depth look at toddler development and the behaviors commonly associated with this age group. Participants will explore the developmental factors that influence toddler actions, including emerging language skills, emotional regulation, social awareness, and self-control. The course examines common challenges such as tantrums, aggression, noncompliance, biting, and other age-appropriate behaviors that often arise as toddlers test boundaries and seek independence. Students will learn practical strategies for preventing and managing challenging behavior through positive guidance, consistent routines, effective communication, and developmentally appropriate discipline techniques. Emphasis is placed on understanding the reasons behind toddler behavior and responding in ways that support healthy emotional and social development. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
