Toddler age children can be expected to be able to put on his/her own clothes. With help, they will be able to brush their own teeth, combine words, know over 50 words and use pronouns such as I, me, you and mine.
When children reach toddler age they will know their body parts, walk up and down stairs, kick a ball, jump up, and throw a ball over his head. His/her speech should be half understandable.
It is important to be aware of children’s stages of development so that you may better provide them age appropriate toys to help them along in their development.

Dec 19, (THAINDIAN NEWS) With the extensive use of mobile messaging and emailing, certain new words have become an integral part of our life, although they made no sense during the colloquial period. Therefore, the Oxford English Dictionary, which is considered as the “accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium” have happily incorporated several new words in its dictionary, which are now more relevant to our daily life.
Some of the new words that has been incorporated in the latest edition of the OED are “Catastrophizing”, that means viewing or presenting a situation as worse as it actually is. “LBD” is yet another word which probably makes no meaning for an ordinary person, but the girls would be happy to know that they need not spell the “Little Black Dress” anymore.
“Frenemy” is a common word that was not incorporated so far, but now it is. “Cool hunter” refers to a person, who makes observations or predictions about new trends and styles. “Defriend” is a term that is widely used by the netizens. It means deleting a person the one’s friend list.
