By the age of two years a child should be able to:
* walk, climb and run
* point to objects or pictures when they are named (e.g., nose, eyes)
* say several words together (from about 15 months)
* follow simple instructions
* scribble if given a pencil or crayon
* enjoy simple stories and songs
* imitate the behavior of others
* begin to eat by herself or himself.
Advice for parents and caregivers:
* read, sing or play games with the child
* teach the child to avoid dangerous objects
* talk to the child normally – do not use baby talk
* continue to breastfeed and ensure the child has enough food and a
variety of family foods
* encourage, but do not force, the child to eat
* provide simple rules and set reasonable expectations
* praise the child's achievements.
Warning signs to watch for:
* lack of response to others
* difficulty keeping balance while walking (see a trained health worker)
* injuries and unexplained changes in behaviour (especially if the child has
been cared for by others)
* lack of appetite.
