From 19 to 21 months is when your child will start to develop a sense of independence, and display curiosity. This is because, during this time period, your child is honing in on their fine motor skills while continuing cognitive development. You’ll notice your child going from messy scribbles, to intentional curls and squiggles with movements that seem more deliberate. Wherein before a child would messily and randomly stack rings on a stick, you’ll notice a more meaningful approach in attempting to order them in size. This is an integral period of your child learning essential problem solving skills, and the foundation for independent learning. Here are ‘Parents.com’ insights on this specific milestone’s characteristics.
