There’s something magical—and a little bit wild—about turning two.
It’s the year of “me do it!”, where fierce independence shows up side by side with the need for reassurance. One moment they’re charging ahead; the next, they’re back in your arms. Two is full of contradictions, big emotions, and even bigger developmental leaps.
People talk about the “terrible twos”, but we see things differently. We think two is terrific. Complex, yes. Challenging, sometimes. But also a key moment in a child’s early life.

Why This Age Matters So Much
Our new training course, Turning Two, dives into exactly what makes this age so important. Because it’s not just about learning new words, climbing higher, or playing for longer—it’s about stepping into a whole new way of being.
At two, children are experiencing huge changes in how they move, talk, think, and relate to others. They’re starting to form stronger attachments, play alongside peers, and express themselves in ways that often feel loud, messy, or emotional. But every reaction is a form of communication—if we know how to listen.
Seeing Two-Year-Olds Through a New Lens
To really support this age group, we need to look beneath the surface. Our Turning Two training helps practitioners understand what’s really going on and how best to respond.
We explore:
- How theory turns into everyday practice
- Why the environment matters for co-regulation
- The powerful role of the key person in this stage
Two-year-olds thrive when they feel secure and seen. When adults take time to tune in, they can better meet children where they are—emotionally, socially, and developmentally.
