By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Toddler is the second stage of life , next to infancy, it is the stage where a child starts to learn how to walk and comprehend. It is also the stage between infancy and childhood. Toddlers are very tricky; they've grown to have their own thoughts and wants. Toddling usually starts between 12 to 24 months. During this stage, a child learns great deals about social role and develops motor skills.

Speaking is the next milestone, parents are most typically aware of. During the Childs first birthday, word would automatically come out of their mouth. Little by little the child starts adding word until around 18th months when languages increase rapidly. They can learn an average of 7-9 words per day.

There are many other things that a child experience and learn during toddler stage. Most parents may not notice, but the simple action of pointing out on what the kids want is already a sign of big psychological gain. Also during toddler stage, they begin to distinguish one apart from other. They begin to know him or her as a separate physical being.

Toddler storytime is a program designed for toddlers and their caregivers. Storytime is a fun time for parents to introduce books to their kids. In storytime, toddlers are bonded with their parents for some learning activities. Activities, that helps widen the kid's language ability and imagination.

Toddler storytime is a fun learning activity; it strengthens the bond between a parent and a child. Toddlers are good imitators they can easily imitate whatever they hear and see. The more a parent exposes their kids in events like story telling the more they enrich their child learning. It's is a smart step to bring kids to educational gatherings. It does not only benefit the child, it also lessens the parents' job to teach.
