Questions parents ask

How much should I be "teaching" my child at 2–3 years?

At 2–3 years, almost none of it looks like teaching. Vocabulary doubles, "why" begins, and pretend play becomes the main way your child practises the world. Kitchens and balconies are the best classrooms. Everyday talk, play and real jobs at home do the work.

Do I need to buy anything?

No. Every activity here starts with things you already have — steel katoris, dal, cloth, cardboard, your own voice. Anything you could buy is optional and never necessary.

Is my child behind if they can't do these yet?

Children vary widely and normal ranges are wide. These are things to try, not tests to pass. For any specific worry about development, our milestone tracker and your paediatrician are the right first stops.
