The age of a toddler is when the toddler is between the ages of 1 and 3 years old.

Kids remain toddlers from ages 1 to 3 years old and then after 3 years old they are no longer considered a toddler.

The term toddler begins around a child's first birthday when they begin to walk and develop their mobility.

The word toddle itself refers to walking unsteadily.

The toddler stage is also marked by a transition from infancy, where children are rapidly developing new abilities, and some of these milestones include walking, running and improved coordination.

Expanding vocabulary, using short sentences and learning to recognize colors and shapes.

And developing a sense of self, experiencing strong emotions, and beginning to play with other children.

The end of toddlerhood stage concludes around their third birthday, when they then transition into their preschool years.

Although the exact timing also varies for each child and some might still be considered toddlers just past the age of 3.

After 3 years old they are often considered to be little kids until around ages 7 to 8 years old and then by 7 to 8 years old the child is considered a big kid.

Although even between the ages of 8 to 12 a kid is considered a tween as well.

Between the ages of 8 to 12 they are in between the stage of being a child and a teenager.

The term tween is short for between and is often used to describe the period of transition that includes physical changes like puberty and emotional shifts like seeking more independence.

The most common age range cited for tweens is 8 years old to 12 years old, although some experts extend the age to 10 to 13 years of age.
