In this episode, Celine Moore explains that between 12 and 18 months, parents will notice incredible growth in their child's social, motor, and cognitive abilities. As social cognition develops, curiosity increases, and parents will learn about joint attention. Gross motor skills advance through walking, climbing, and continuous exploration.


Fine motor skills also improve as hand-eye coordination strengthens, the pincer grasp becomes more refined, and activities such as scribbling and stacking begin. This lively, active period lays the groundwork for communication, independence, and lifelong learning.
