Jumping with both feet is a skill that typically develops over time through practice and play—some toddlers nail it earlier, others take a bit longer, and the variation is wide.\n\nWhat matters most right now is giving your child regular chances to practice: jumping on cushions, off low steps (with your hand nearby), or just bouncing in place. Structured play with jumping-focused activities tends to matter more than how active your toddler is overall. Keep offering those opportunities, and the skill will come.","sources":"[]","thread_json":null,"topic":"toddler-milestones","view_count":0,"created_at":"2026-09-10T00:01:57.974Z"}
