Enough space to play.
To be able to play with his or her toddler toys, a child needs room. A place that does not has to stay to tidy or clean the whole time. It can be a separate part of the living room or somewhere upstairs. If there is no space available, then the bedroom might be a good place.
Note: If the child has to stop playing (eating, going to bed), call him here in advance so he can adjust and have time to switch.
Outdoor play and exercise
Give your toddler every day the opportunity to move actively , preferably several times a day. Your toddler can show very well when he or she is tired. Toddlers cannot get too much action or playtime with their toddler toys.
Your toddlers do not do things by themselves that they (still) can not do, so let your toddler run its course and do not be afraid if he wants to climb a wall, the monkey wants to climb and slide.
Challenge your toddler by making a not so easy environment. Create a space with obstacles such as; hills (one puff, mattress, and pillows), tunnels (tent of sheets, crawl tunnel, large box) or clamber options (recumbent chair, cushions round).
Do not limit your toddler by always putting him in a stroller, let him run more on his own.
Walking stairs quickly alone is no problem for your toddler, do not always lift your toddler and let him try on his own, but always accompany him during practice. Let him try but always remain in the neighborhood.
