If the child has the following situations, we must take action in time?
(1) Do not know how to do what you normally do, will not use a 2-word phrase
(2) Walking unsteadily
(3) Do not imitate movements and words, lose the skills previously mastered
(4) Simple instructions will not be followed

(1) Social/emotional

[2] Shows excitement when with other children, playing mainly next to other children
[3] He became more and more independent, but began to accept other children, such as playing chase games
(2) Language/communication

[2] Knowing the names of familiar people and body parts, pointing to things in the book will say sentences containing 2 to 4 words
[3] Children are able to show the full color of their emotional responses on their own
(3) Cognition (learning, thinking, problem solving)

[2] It is possible to use one hand more than the other, starting to classify shapes and colors

[2] Start running, throwing the ball over your shoulder with your hands raised

Second, can we guide children to do this?
(1) Encourage children to help with simple housework at home, such as sweeping the floor and simple help with cooking, while praising children for being a good helper for housework.
(2) At this age, children will play next to each other (not together) and are reluctant to share. So when children are playing, we have to give children as many toys as possible to play. At the same time, we must pay close attention to the dynamics of the child, and if there is a fight or quarrel, we should stop it in time.
(3) When the child performs well in following the instructions, give the child praise and praise. When a child exhibits bad behavior, we don't have to pay too much attention to it. We should spend more time praising good behavior in our children than punishing bad behavior.
(4) Teach children to identify and say their own body parts, animals and other ordinary things, usually when children speak inappropriately, we do not correct him, we must do is to say those words correctly.
(5) If the child cannot utter the whole word ("milk"), you can give him a hint by making the first sound of the word ("cow"). After a while, we can guide the child through the prompt to say the full sentence - "I want milk".
