Psychomotor development of the 24-month-old baby, what can the child do at two years of age?
Two-year-olds have good balance, since they can already jump, dance, and go up and down stairs. Their language is quite developed, they build increasingly complex sentences and understand better what is said to them. They are becoming more sociable with other children.
Some babies acquire certain skills before others or develop one more quickly and another more slowly.
Premature babies, those born with low birth weight and those who have had problems in the first days/weeks of life may progress more slowly.

24 month old baby feeding
The child must acquire good habits at the table from the beginning. Sitting him down with the rest of the family and encouraging him to eat will only be beneficial for it.
If the child does not want to eat, do not offer alternative foods, just remove the plate. He should not snack between meals as it will take away his appetite. A balanced and varied diet that includes all food groups is ideal.
Stimulation to a 24 month old baby
He still doesn’t know how to control his emotions. If the child loses control because he can’t stand being upset, don’t do the same, you are the adult and you must control the situation, since the child is just beginning to show his character and despite the fact that he seems to know what he is doing, he is not is the case. You have to give him a small touch of attention, but without reproaching him, that he draws his own conclusions from him.
However, in no way should you give in to his demands, so that he does not feel rewarded. If for each thing the child does he receives a reward, he will get used to receiving them.
It is time to impose limits prudently and safely. The education you receive now will be vital to your evolution tomorrow.
