Healthy Bodies - Toddlers (2-3 years of age)

Written By Brian Williamson

Talk with staff at your child care provider to see if they serve healthier foods and drinks, and if they limit television and other screen time.

  • Your toddler might change what food she likes from day to day. It’s normal behavior, and it’s best not to make an issue of it. Encourage her to try new foods by offering her small bites to taste.

  • Keep television sets out of your child’s bedroom. Set limits for screen time for your child to no more than 1 hour per day of quality programming, at home, school, or afterschool care and develop a media use plan for your family.external icon

  • Encourage free play as much as possible. It helps your toddler stay active and strong and helps him develop motor skills.

  • 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)
