HEALTHY BODIES
- Give your child water and plain milk instead of sugary drinks. After the first year, when your nursing toddler is eating more and different solid foods, breast milk is still an ideal addition to his diet.
- Your toddler might become a very picky and erratic eater. Toddlers need less food because they do not grow as fast. It is best not to battle with him over this. Offer a selection of healthy foods and let him choose what she wants. Keep trying new foods; it might take time for him to learn to like them.
- Limit screen time and develop a media use plan for your family.external icon for children younger than 18 months of age, the AAP recommends that it is best if toddlers not use any screen media other than video chatting.
- Your toddler will seem to be moving continually—running, kicking, climbing, or jumping. Let him be active—he is developing his coordination and becoming strong.
- Make sure your child gets the recommended amount of sleep each night: For toddlers 1-2 years, 11–14 hours per 24 hours (including naps)

SCIENCE ACTIVITY
By: Early Learning Ideas
What Dissolves In Water?
Some materials dissolve in water, and some do not. Substances that dissolve in water called soluble, and substances that do not dissolve in water called non-soluble.
MATERIALS: transparent plastic cups, plastic spoon, water, sugar, salt, sand, flour
Explain to your child that some materials dissolve in water and some do not. When a substance dissolves, it kind of looks like it has disappeared, but actually, it has just mixed with the water to make a transparent or see-through liquid that we call a solution.
PROCEDURE:
Help kids add a spoonful of each of the materials to a glass of water. Stir the mixture and then let it sit for a minute or two. What happens? Does the material dissolve?
MAKE OBSERVATIONS
Let your kids look at the materials that you will mix in. Let them feel them and smell them. What do you notice about the materials? Ask kids to predict which materials will dissolve.
FORM QUESTIONS
How can we tell if the materials dissolve? Do you think all of the materials will dissolve? Why or why not?
