One to two
You are in: Health24 : Child : Developmental stages : One to two

Physical
 The rapid growth spurt of the first year has subsided and from now on the rate of growth is more even. Your toddler becomes more mobile as he/she learns to walk - a chaotic time for parents! Read
 
Milestones
 Milestones provide a base for comparison. Don't be too worried if your child's development doesn't correspond exactly with the milestones listed. Your doctor will be able to assess whether there is cause for concern during the eighteen month checkup. Read
 
Cognitive
 During the first two years of life, an infant is in the sensory-motor stage of cognitive development. Your child explores his environment through sensory (e.g. seeing and hearing) and motor (e.g. sucking and grasping) contact. Read
 
Emotional and social

Vaccination
 Your child needs vaccinations at 15 months and 18 months. Read
 
Tests
 This checkup is usually done when your child goes for immunisations. The healthcare professional will examine physical development, gross and fine motor skills, language, hearing and vision and psychosocial development. Read
