A “fun” part of being a parent is learning that your offspring will literally develop new powers and methods to outsmart you year after year. A newborn will cry and cry, but at least they are pretty immobile.Toddlers, on the other hand, have pretty workable feet and will use them to engage in all sorts of shenanigans.While this means you can do more things together, it also means a lot more active supervision, as anyone who has seen a concerned looking father sprinting after a child on a scooter can attest to. This is also perhaps why parents turn tomemesas a way of venting and sharing the ups and downs of raising a child.

After all, a newfound independence (even if it’s just walking) comes with a responsibility of the parent to actually teach their kid some good behaviors. No child is going to happily do their business in a toilet or brush their teeth without constantreinforcement. It’s not all bad though, children come with a sort of wonder andcreativitythat basically no adult can match.
The fruits of aparent’s labors(or lack thereof) will show up later, as the toddler grows up a bit. It’s important to keep themactiveand engaged in learning new things. This is also the time where some things might start becoming habitual, as children develop more distinct preferences and desires and now have the autonomy to at least try and keep them.
