Your little person is growing each and everyday

你的小家伙每天都在成長(zhǎng)

What developments to expect from your two-and-a-half-year-old in the coming months...

在接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)月里，你對(duì)你兩歲半的孩子有什么期待?

I scream, you scream

尖叫的孩子們

This is peak tantrumtime, as if you needed to be reminded. They’re all different, but plenty of 2 to 3-year-olds have one every day and - perhaps look away now – they can last way past their 3rd birthday, too. The key tips are to distract them when you sense a tantrum coming on (the old trick of pointing outsomething ‘a(chǎn)mazing’ outside gets them every time) and to stay outwardly calmand remove them from the situation while they, and possibly you, calm down.It’s tempting but not a great idea to give in to them just to stop the tantrum– you’ll only set yourself up for more if they think you will change your mind again.

這是發(fā)脾氣的高峰期。雖然表現(xiàn)不同，但是大多數(shù)2到3歲的孩子每天都會(huì)發(fā)一次脾氣，一直會(huì)持續(xù)到三歲。關(guān)鍵的建議是，當(dāng)你感覺要孩子發(fā)脾氣的時(shí)候，試著轉(zhuǎn)移他們的注意力(比方說(shuō)找到一些“令人驚奇”的東西指給他們看)，讓孩子從想要發(fā)脾氣的情緒中冷靜下來(lái)（可能也包括你）。當(dāng)孩子發(fā)脾氣的時(shí)候，大人如果很快投降會(huì)怎么樣？如果孩子知道了大人會(huì)因?yàn)樗麄儼l(fā)脾氣而改變主意，他們會(huì)變本加厲。

Back to babyhood

回到嬰兒時(shí)代

It’s very common at this age to want to be independent one minute and revert to being a baby the next,even trying to drink from an old baby bottle. It’s important to remember theworld can be a scary place for your little one, especially when they start to learn that life can be unpredictable. Playing at being a baby often helps reveal feelings they can’t yet express in words.

在這個(gè)年齡，很常見的情況是，前一分鐘還想要獨(dú)立，下一分鐘就變成了一個(gè)嬰兒。記住這一點(diǎn)很重要，這個(gè)世界對(duì)你的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)可能是一個(gè)可怕的地方，尤其是當(dāng)他們開始認(rèn)識(shí)到生活可能是不可預(yù)測(cè)的。扮演嬰兒的角色常常幫助他們表達(dá)無(wú)法用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)的情感。

Potty training

如廁訓(xùn)練

Around 2? is a popular time to begin potty training: they old enough to be up forit and interested in the idea of becoming just like mummy and daddy. When they get nearer three you may get more resistance as they lose whatever curiosity they had and are more used to the idea that nappies are where poo goes. Their interest in the process is key, so if they don’t seem that interested yet, it’sa good time to buy a potty and encourage them to sit on it once a day, and alsoto talk about what adults do when they go to the loo.

兩歲半的時(shí)候，孩子們已經(jīng)到了可以訓(xùn)練如何上廁所的年齡了。他們對(duì)做和爸爸媽媽一樣的事情充滿了興趣。如果拖到快到三歲再進(jìn)行，家長(zhǎng)可能會(huì)遇到更大的阻力，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)時(shí)候他們很可能已經(jīng)失去了對(duì)上廁所的好奇心，習(xí)慣于尿尿在紙尿褲里。如廁訓(xùn)練的過(guò)程里，興趣是關(guān)鍵。所以，現(xiàn)在是買個(gè)幼兒便盆的好時(shí)機(jī)，鼓勵(lì)孩子每天在便盆上坐一坐。也告訴他們大人在上廁所的時(shí)候做什么。

Talking

說(shuō)話

By now your little onemay be in the middle of their ‘language explosion’, or perhaps has just beenthrough it. This is when they’re learning new words at a dizzying rate andtheir vocabulary triples in a few short months. It’s also when they begin toput two words together, (‘Mummycar’) then, by 2 ? years old, three word combinations appear (‘Mummy drivecar’). By now their pronunciation should be quite good, although it may not bespot on until nearer three or a bit later. You can help your little one alongwith language by being relaxed: give them lots of opportunities to talk butdon’t hover expectantly over them as it can pile on the pressure. When you askthem something, wait a good 5-10 seconds to give them space to reply. And ifyou let them choose the topic of conversation they are more likely to chat.

現(xiàn)在你的孩子可能正在經(jīng)歷“語(yǔ)言爆炸”。這是他們以飛快的速度學(xué)習(xí)新詞的時(shí)候，他們的詞匯量在短短幾個(gè)月里翻倍。孩子開始把兩個(gè)詞，三個(gè)詞放在一起組成短句?，F(xiàn)在他們的發(fā)音應(yīng)該挺好了，雖然可能要到三歲或更晚一點(diǎn)才能更準(zhǔn)確。你可以幫助你的孩子學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言:給他們多一些的說(shuō)話機(jī)會(huì)，但是不要給他們壓力。當(dāng)你問孩子們一些事時(shí)，等上5-10秒，給他們思考的時(shí)間。如果你讓他們選擇話題，他們會(huì)更樂意和你聊天。

How you can help？

你能做什么呢?

• Let them help you with shopping, cooking, gardening and household chores. It makesthem feel useful and part of the bigger world.

• If you didn’t take them swimming as a baby, now is a great time to try someswimming lessons. They can learn to swim as a deliberate action when they arearound three years old.

• Keepan eye on their TV and screen time: the National Literacy Trust recommends halfan hour a day maximum for the under twos and an hour maximum for two to fiveyear olds. It can be helpful to have a few ground rules: switch it off when noone’s watching and don’t allow a TV in their bedroom.

• Theirpincer grasp is really efficient now and they’ll be drawn to beads and other smalltoys, but be careful as some kids of this age still like putting toys in theirmouths. Toys showing the symbol that it’s not for 0-3 years have been tested sothat that every part of the toy is big enough that it won’t fit down a3-year-old’s throat.

• Manypre-schoolers learn their colours between two and two and a half (though sometake longer), so it’s a good time to play with brightly coloured crayons andpaints.

• Ridinga bike with stabilisers may be a skill too far just yet, but a balance bike(one with no pedals where their feet push the bike along) is great practice forlearning balance.

• Jumpingover, and through, puddles will seem like the best fun ever right now as theycan use their new skill of jumping (probably with feet together for now).

• 在你去超市購(gòu)物，在家做家務(wù)的時(shí)候，讓孩子幫幫忙。這讓他們覺得自己是很有用，是這個(gè)大大的世界的一部分。

• 現(xiàn)在是去上游泳課的好時(shí)機(jī)，三歲左右可以開始學(xué)游泳。

• 注意他們的電視和屏幕時(shí)間:英國(guó)專家建議兩歲以下的兒童每天最多半小時(shí)，兩到五歲的兒童每天最多一小時(shí)。在家里制定一些基本規(guī)則:在沒人看電視的時(shí)候關(guān)掉電視，臥室里最好不要有電視。

• 孩子們會(huì)被珠子和其他小玩具吸引。要小心，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)年齡的一些孩子仍然喜歡把玩具放進(jìn)他們的嘴里。注意玩具要夠大，不會(huì)被咽下去。

• 現(xiàn)在是玩色彩鮮艷的蠟筆和顏料的好時(shí)機(jī)，孩子們開始學(xué)習(xí)顏色。

• 練習(xí)平衡，可以騎沒有踏板地小自行車。

• 踩水坑是最好玩的事情，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢允褂盟麄兊男录寄?，比方說(shuō)并攏雙腳跳。

Are they normal?

他們是正常的嗎?

A small note ondevelopmental milestones: it’s really true – they’re all different and althoughwe can encourage them, they will do things at their own pace and in their owntime.

孩子們都是不同的。我們可以鼓勵(lì)他們，而他們會(huì)按照自己的節(jié)奏和時(shí)間來(lái)做事情。
