This stage of the human life cycle deals with the play age stage, the baby sit,crawls, stand and sometimes may walk, mainly between the baby stage to a period of one years.Toddlers at this stage stay close to the mother as often as they can and will love to be left alone to explore their new discovery of being able to move about.
Toddlers have significant growth of the brain, at this stage the brain is already 75% the size of a full grown adult, they watch the things that goes on around them and imitate what they see people do. They move objects and change their position so the parent make sure they do not put harmful objects around them, they start playing with toys at this stage.
Although the cradle is still the place they are suppose to sleep in, toddlers will rather stay in bed with their parents, since their need for breast milk is very high and require much attention from their parent, they also feed on different kind of food as the adult, mostly on porridge made foods.
The healthcare of the toddler is as fragile as the baby, they require vaccinations to help their immune system fight against disorders and diseases. Mothers make sure they clean them regularly, watch the things they put in their mouth as well as make sure they eat a balance diet always.
At this stage of the human cycle the mother keeps the child close to the family to help them in socialization, this is to help them relate with others outside the family, also to prepare them for early creche.
"Two little eyes, discovering what is new. Two little hands touching everything in view. A sweet little face with a mischievous smile and a whining cry that leaves a joy in your heart". The ball is set, let the game begin...
