By the age of 2, children are developing rapidly and learning new skills every day. Here are some things that a 2-year-old should know according to the search results:

• Language: A 2-year-old can usually say around 50 words and speak using two- to four-word sentences. They may repeat words overheard in a conversation and know the names of parents, siblings, body parts, and objects. Parents can help their child learn how words sound, even if they can’t say them clearly yet, by repeating what the child says and expanding on it.

• Motor skills: A 2-year-old may be walking confidently, running, kicking, jumping, climbing on furniture, pushing and pulling toys, using cups and spoons, and undressing on their own. They can build block towers of four or more blocks and enjoy playing with balls.

• Social and emotional skills: Children this age play next to each other but do not know how to share and solve problems. Parents can show their child how to deal with conflicts by helping them share, take turns, and use words when possible. A 2-year-old may have tantrums, tears, and triumphs galore. They can follow simple one-step commands and may begin to problem-solve. Parents can foster their child’s emotional security by letting them have a choice when possible and letting them help around the house.

• Other skills: A 2-year-old can count up to three objects and may begin to sort shapes and colors. Parents can encourage their child to play with blocks, create simple art projects, and play outside. It is important to limit screen time to no more than 1 hour a day of a children’s program with an adult present.

It is important to note that each child develops at their own pace, and the milestones listed above are general guidelines. Parents should talk with their child’s doctor and teachers if they have questions or concerns about their child’s development.
