CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Between 16 and 18 months, your toddler may work up to stacking three blocks on top of each other. Building a tower requires your child to line up and balance one block on top of the other, releasing it at just the right time so it doesn’t fall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through stacking and building games, children learn how to balance things to keep a tower upright. These games also help children practise hand-eye coordination. And they introduce children to early numeracy skills like size, height, comparison, order and so on.

Detailed explanation-3: -Though your toddler’s stacking, grouping, and sorting behavior may strike you as odd, it’s actually perfectly normal for a child this age. Indeed, noticing the similarities and differences between objects and learning to group like with like is one of a toddler’s most important cognitive tasks.

Detailed explanation-4: -By 17 to 24 months of age, your toddler should be able to stack four blocks on top of each other. By 20 to 30 months, a tower of six blocks is the expected milestone. Then, by 24 to 42 months, your child should be able to stack at least eight blocks in a tower.
