How to help development
In order to help your child’s development it is important to

Show them love, it sounds so obvious but some people have trouble doing this. Hug, kiss, smile, encourage, listen to, and play with your child whenever you can, if you have household chores to do, ask them to help, to show your child you enjoy spending time with them
Care for your child's basic needs, food, comfort and sleep. For your child to be able to devote thier energy to learning and growing, they need to be well fed. They also need to be healthy, well rested, and comfortable. Make sure you feed a balanced diet and that you try to follow a good sleep pattern, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep your child's brain cells are making important connections. These synapses, as they're called, are the pathways that enable all learning, movement, and thought. They are the key to your child understanding all they are seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling as they explores. It’s really important that you change their nappies very regularly; wet or dirty nappies are uncomfortable and distracting.
To keep your child healthy, take them in for regular checkups, keep their injections up to date, if you're worried about your toddler's sleeping or eating patterns, talk to your doctor.
Talk to your child, you may look mad but so what it is so important, research shows that children whose parents spoke to them extensively as young babies have significantly higher IQs and richer vocabularies than kids who didn't receive much verbal stimulation. If you find it hard to come up with things to say just describe what you are doing try to avoid baby talk. Remember babies learn by listening.
Try to build your toddlers self esteem, toddlers are still just realising they're separate people. Toddlers slowly build up a sense of self. Gradually, they learn what they looks like and work out the things they can do. Some of the more difficult types of behaviour your toddler might display, which you may find hard to cope with, happen as a result of them beginning to realise that they are a separate person with a mind of thier own. They also learn they don't actually have to stay where you've put them or do exactly as they are told. It is important that you reassure your child that you love them and you are proud of them give praise as much as possible. If you have to challenge their behaviour explain why so they can understand and learn from their mistake but onur mums say it is important not to get into a bargining situation with your child, just tell them what was wrong and end it there try not to bicker with them, its an easy trap to fall into and makes things more difficult in the end.
