Moving

Developmental Milestones

At 3 years, your child climbs well, runs easily, pedals a tricycle, and walks up and down stairs one foot on each step.

Ideas for Learning and Growth

How to help your 3-year-old’s development:

Hold your child’s hand going up and down stairs. When she can go up and down easily, encourage her to use the railing.
Play outside with your child. Go to the park or hiking trail. Allow your child to play freely and without structured activities.

Concerns

Don’t Worry. But Don’t Wait.

Should you be concerned? Perhaps. If you are concerned, call right away. If your child is on track, you’ll be reassured. If your child needs assistance, you’ll find out now, when it’s the best time to help!

At 3 years, talk to your child’s doctor if he falls down a lot or has trouble with stairs.
