[:en][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<p>Looking back, you can hardly believe that a whole year has passed since you held baby in your arms in the delivery room. Now you see baby attempting to run and jump, and on the verge of uttering his first (or maybe the next few) sentences. Watching baby sleep so peacefully one day, you wonder what is in store as baby grows into his or her second year. This article aims to give you a general idea on what you can expect to see.</p>

By 15 months, baby would have gained the strength to push his or her body up from the floor and start walking, albeit slightly unsteadily. His or her grasp would also be firmer, as baby is now able to pick things up and throw them down again, using only the thumb and index finger.

At this stage, baby will begin imitating your actions by pretending to speak into a toy phone, or rummage through his or her play handbag. He or she also begins to enjoy dancing to music and will be able to identify certain objects, animals and even people when questioned and point towards them.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12" el_class="rightside"][vc_column_text]<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5404" src="http://tollyjoy.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/development15month.png" alt="development15month" width="217" height="217" /></p>

By now, baby will want to climb up and down the stairs, much to your alarm. He or she will also try to learn to run and jump at this stage. And if you have yet to do it, this is the best time to teach baby to pick up and drink from a cup.

His or her cognitive abilities will also become more developed as baby is now able to recognise and remember where you place certain objects within your home. This is also when he or she will differentiate between being scolded or praised by you or hubby. Moreover, baby will begin to understand how people respond to certain things he or she does, and as such, will try to illicit as many smiles and praises from everyone around.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12"][vc_column_text]<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5403" src="http://tollyjoy.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/development24month.png" alt="development24month" width="239" height="190" /></p>
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>21 – 24 months</strong>

Baby will now be able to run and jump, but still with some difficulty, and capable of pushing him or herself around on a tricycle. Baby also enjoys catching or throwing balls and squatting while playing with you.

Associating people, animals and objects with their proper names correctly will become easier for baby during this stage. Baby will also become aware that he or she is a separate person from you and begin to express his or her own individuality by using more words like ‘I’, ‘me’ or ‘mine’.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Preparing for this stage</strong>

This is when you would need to baby-proof your home by installing safety gates at the stairs and keep dangerous items completely out of baby’s reach. Towards the second year is also when you could organise more physical and cognitive activities for your child to help him or her grow stronger and develop quicker.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][:zh][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<p>回头看看，简直难以相信，从您在产房里抱起新生宝宝至今已经过去整整一年了。现在您会发现宝宝正开始尝试跑动和蹦跳，而且即将说出他/她人生中的第一句完整的话。有一天，在看着宝宝平静地入睡时，您又是否会不禁期待，宝宝在进入第二年后究竟会经历些什么？本文旨在为您提供一个概要，让您了解接下来会发生些什么。</p>

到15个月时，宝宝已有足够的力量让自己从地板上站立起来并开始摇摇晃晃地走路。这时，宝宝的握力也会增强，并且只靠拇指和食指就能捡起和扔出东西。

在这个阶段，宝宝会开始模仿您的行为，例如对着玩具电话假装说话，或是在其玩具手袋内翻找东西。此外，宝宝也会开始喜欢跟随音乐跳舞，并能够在别人指着东西提问时，辨识具体的物品、动物，甚至人。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12" el_class="rightside"][vc_column_text]<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5404" src="http://tollyjoy.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/development15month.png" alt="development15month" width="217" height="217" /></p>

现在，宝宝会想在楼梯上爬上爬下，对此您需要多加小心。此外，宝宝还会在这个阶段尝试到处跑和跳。如果您还没教宝宝用水杯喝水，那现在就是最佳时机。

宝宝的认知能力会在这期间变得更加发达，因为宝宝现在已经能够辨识并记住家中某些物品放在何处。他/她也已经能够区分出您或您的老公是在批评还是表扬他/她。此外，宝宝也将开始理解人们对他/她的某些行为会做出何种反应，并会因此去尝试去让身边每一个人露出笑容和称赞他/她[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="5/12"][vc_column_text]<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5403" src="http://tollyjoy.com.sg/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/development24month.png" alt="development24month" width="239" height="190" /></p>

尽管还是不太稳，不过宝宝现在已经可以到处跑和跳了。不仅如此，除了能够自己把婴儿三轮车推来推去外，宝宝还会喜欢与您一同玩追逐或扔球游戏，并喜欢在与您一起玩耍时蹲下。

在这个阶段，宝宝可以更轻松地将人、动物和物品与其适当的名称正确地关联在一起。宝宝还会开始意识到他/她是一个有别于您的独立个体，并会开始更多的使用“我”或“我的”等词汇来表达自己的独立性。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>这个阶段的准备工作</strong>

在这个阶段，您需要在楼梯处安装安全门并且将危险物品放置在宝宝完全触摸不到的地方，使居家环境有利于宝宝的安全。在宝宝迈入两岁时，您也可以为他/她安排更多的运动和认知活动，让他/她能更快、更茁壮地发育成长。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][:]
