Your Child’s Third Year
Development during your child's third year is critical in future success. And while every child learns movements at an individual rate, developmental delays may cause concern and hardship. Use our guide below to see what milestones your child should be reaching at every age during the third year. Milestones listed at each stage carry on through each subsequent phase of development (i.e. skills at 30 months should be present at 36 months).
