Infants often communicate with protophones, which are sounds resembling squeals, growls or short word-like noises such as "da", "aga" and "ba" These are considered the foundations of speech, as they eventually evolve into full language Objects play an important role in this process, as the more vocalisation an object encourages, the closer a young child is to talking

According to a new study, 24-month-old children who spent less than 60 minutes looking at screens each day and those who engaged in at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity had better executive function than their peers. 

In the video, a little girl can be seen walking in a white dress with black ballerinas and a crown on her head. “Isn't it adorable the way she held her crown high, and dealt with the situation while being so calm about it,” read the caption of the post.

Best friends Maxwell and Finnegan, both aged two, had bumped into each other and hence, ran to share a warm hug. Maxwell's father Michael D Cisneros recorded the sweet moment and posted it on Facebook.

Two toddlers in Delhi died of suffocation on Wednesday after they were trapped in a locked car for nearly nine hours.

At least 34 migrants, most of them toddlers, drowned on Wednesday, as coastguard boats and other vessels tried to save hundreds of others packed into boats off the coast of Libya, rescuers said.

The findings showed that three-year-olds who napped within about an hour of learning a new verb performed better than those who stayed awake for at least five hours after learning, regardless of whether they were habitual nappers.

These movements in toddlers place a stress on the bones, causing them to become wider and thicker, thereby making them stronger than those in children who may not be moving as much, the study said.

Also, toddlers who ate more desserts and who became upset when the food was removed experienced gradual increases in body fat by the time they were 3- years old.
