Social-Emotional Development and Psychological Health of Children Between 24-36 Months

Keeping in mind that each child has a natural and different development process, it will be helpful for you, the parents, to get to know the skills they can perform within their developmental stages. In the preschool period, knowing your child's individual characteristics (interests, needs, abilities, environmental conditions) closely, having sufficient information about his 'social-emotional development' and taking an approach accordingly will ensure his psychological health. It will strengthen the building blocks.

I observe that the baby has completed its infancy between 0-24 months and gradually begins to turn into a social being between 24-36 months and the anxiety levels of parents increase in these months when childhood begins. . For example, according to Bumin (2006), we come across many mothers and fathers who perceive the third and seventh items (stubbornness, imaginary friend) in the social-emotional development stages between 24-36 months listed below as if there is a problem with their child and consult a specialist. However, this is a natural part of the developmental period.

If you do not know how to treat your child during this developmental stage, then it would be more appropriate to seek expert opinion.
