Taking First Steps
At this age, toddlers are making their first efforts at independence.
They begin walking and talking. Hearing them say "It's mine" is common.
Toddlers are aware of other children, but still may prefer to play alone.
What might your child be doing?
Click here to print Developmental Milestone Check List 12-15 months. Share the list with your child’s health care professional, teacher, or save it for your own records.
Each activity your child is doing is typical of their age.
If your child isn’t doing all of the activities, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Children can vary by as much as six months in some of the things that they are able to do. If you do have questions about your child’s development, you can call the CONNECT Helpline, a program of the State of Pennsylvania.
