All of these suggestions will help your toddler learn and grow:

Hold me close and let me see your face, this makes me feel safe and I learn about faces and recognise emotions
When you talk to me, I learn new words
When you talk to me, I know I'm important to you
When you talk to me, I'll try and copy
I like it when we look at picture books together. I learn new words and start to recognise objects
Let me explore my world so that I can learn about it. Let me play on my tummy, on my back and let me touch and feel things
When you sing to me, I start to recognise words, patterns and rhythms, so please sing to me or tell me a story or a nursery rhyme
When you feed me healthy food, I'll grow and develop. Look out for my cues, I'll tell you when I'm hungry and when I'm full
When I'm ready let me try new foods
I like to explore my food, how it feels, looks and tastes. I might be messy but I learn a lot
When I'm cuddled, I feel safe and loved
It’s fun when we play together and I learn from you
I like to play outside
I like to explore but I look to you to keep me safe
Time to rest to take in what I have learnt today

To help me to continue to grow, develop and learn, I need….

To see the dentist to make sure my teeth are healthy
To have my immunisations to protect me from infection and serious diseases
To have my health checks to make sure I'm growing and developing well and to help me if I need additional support
For you to seek advice when I'm not well
To see other people and play with other children
