At 30 months, your little one may not be able to vacuum or do laundry, but she can certainly lend a hand around the house, which helps her feel capable and involved. While it’s important to have realistic expectations regarding what your toddler can manage—sorting socks is great, but making the bed is probably too much—patience is key.
Start by introducing simple chores, like picking up toys or tossing trash, and make it enjoyable. You might say, “Can you throw your socks in the hamper? Bull’s eye!” If she’s not interested or doesn’t grasp the task right away, don’t force it. Instead, model a positive attitude while you tackle your own chores.
Sleep Requirements
Toddlers typically need about 11 to 14 hours of sleep each day, which includes an afternoon nap ranging from one and a half to two and a half hours.
Nutrition Guidelines
Aim for two to three servings of fruit daily for your toddler. A serving is approximately a quarter cup of cooked or canned fruit. For further insights on how to maintain a healthy pregnancy diet, check out this resource.
