Language: Children at this age
start making connections between words and formulate
complete sentences. They repeat the sentences/phrases
they hear to better register in their minds. They understand

commands, carry on a conversation, use classification
names, answers "how" questions, and speak
about their immediate experience.

Social- Emotional: Self-interest
is bred with continued development of a toddlers' emotions,
such as anger and frustration - which exhibits itself
in the form of rage and defiance. Toddlers begin to
feel shame along with wariness, or anxiety, and continue
to develop emotions of fear, pleasure, pride, and joy.
It is not unusual for them to express anger and frustration
by hitting, kicking, shoving, or biting. Learning to
recognize these emotions, connecting them to their behavior,
and gaining control over that behavior is an ongoing
process.
