Picmonic
The typical 18 month old can build a tower of 3 blocks, imitate scribbling, and walk backwards. At this age, children can also use a spoon and cup with help to feed themselves and can say 10 or more words. As children develop more independence, children at this age may also develop a tendency to throw temper tantrums when they do not get their way. As a parent, it is important to not reinforce these behaviors although easier said than done.
