During ages one to two years, common characteristics of psychosocial development include:

  • Image and confidence are developing: Toddlers start to develop a sense of self, and their self-esteem begins to form.
  • Asks lots of questions: They become curious about their environment and seek information.
  • Speaks expressively: As their language skills improve, they begin to express their thoughts and needs more clearly.
  • Controls impulses: While still developing this skill, toddlers begin to learn about self-regulation.
  • Easily changes emotions: Emotional fluctuations are common, as they experience a wide range of feelings.
  • May have tantrums: Frustration and inability to communicate can lead to emotional outbursts.

While jealousy can occur, particularly if they feel overshadowed or threatened by other children or siblings, it is often woven into their need for attention and security.
