Physical Activity

Physical activity is important for toddlers. Generally a toddler will be walking by 15 months and running by 20 months of age (with frequent falling). Most young children are energetic with their developmental need to explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. This should be encouraged in a safe environment. Toddlers don't need much encouragement to run around in the fresh air. If you play with them, they'll love it even more. Play at the park, fly a kite, dance, teach them to swim, or go for walk.
