13 months is a great age for toddlers as this is when they’ll start to assert their independence. In this video, Dr. Preeti Parikh talks about what to expect from your child once they hit this milestone. They should be able to put a block into a cup and also start to understand the concept of cleanup time. Children will begin to learn more words and maybe even start to walk. If your child is not doing any of the things Dr. Parikh mentions in the video, contact your pediatrician to see if your child has some form of developmental delays.
This video features Preeti Parikh, MD. Dr. Parikh, a board-certified pediatrician affiliated with The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, is HealthiNation's chief medical editor.
