22 min. CC, DVD support material. The program describes major developmental milestones of two-year-olds, and emphasizes that the term 'the terrible twos' may not reflect reality. Material is divided into five segments: Physical Development, Cognitive Abilities, Language Skills, Socio/Emotional Development, and Toilet Training. The combination of footage from a daycare and children's homes will keep students engaged. Both boys and girls -- mostly of the same race -- are depicted. No fathers are seen, only mothers and female caregivers. This video could be used as the beginning of a unit on child development. A guide includes learning objectives, discussion questions, a quiz, and a bibliography.
