| The bewildering variety of toys in
the market together with claims to special educational advantages makes choosing good toys
hard. Your child is now 2 and has become even more assertive. His defiance really results
from tug of war between his desire for independence and his continuing need for help. His
language skills are still developing. He can now speak short sentences. He is much more
expressive and easily communicates his needs. |
