Your Toddler’s Journey to Independence
At 29 months old, your toddler is bursting with a desire to do things on their own, from buttoning their shirt to cutting their food. While these attempts may often be messy or take longer than expected, it’s crucial to allow your little one the opportunity to practice. This insistence on independence can sometimes lead to frustration, but fostering self-sufficiency is essential for building self-esteem. So, be patient and supportive, and try to give yourself extra time in your daily routine to accommodate their efforts, whether it’s putting on shoes or zipping up a jacket.
