Toddlers are a different story. They're more interested in the world but mainly in how everything in it relates to them. As your child learns to talk and communicate with others, he'll also learn to make friends. He'll enjoy the company of other children now, both his age and older. Between the ages of one and two, however, he'll be fiercely protective of his toys, which can be hard for parents who think their child should be learning to share. You may also notice him imitating his friends and spending lots of time watching what they do. He'll also want to assert his independence -- by refusing to hold your hand when you walk down a street, for example, or throwing tantrums when you tell him he can't do something he wants to do.
