Milestone Moments: PT Tips for 18-24 Months

As your little one nears the Two Year mark, you might have noticed that there haven't been a lot of "new milestones," but that they are just perfecting and improving on what they have already learned. Since that is the case, the physical tips at this age are more about encouragement than new milestones to achieve. See some of the tips from a physical therapist below.

• Encourage walking along furniture, with a push toy, or using parents hands
• Encourage walking on various surfaces such as grass, sand, carpet, etc.
• Encourage walking over obstacles
• Encourage climbing activities
• Encourage standing while getting dressed
