The age that a toddler should be able to jump is between the ages of 18 months of age to 2 years old.

By 18 months most toddlers are able to learn to jump and then by age 2 most toddlers are able to jump with both feet off the ground.

And by age 3 toddlers often gain more control and are able to jump forward, over small obstacles and even hop on one foot.

The age that kids start walking backwards is often by 15 to 18 months of age, although some kids might not start walking backward until 24 months of age.

The walking backward skill develops gradually as the child gains balance and coordination.

And some kids start walking backwards as early as 12 months to 18 months of age and some take longer.

Walking backward is also a developmental milestone in toddlers which often emerges between 15 months to 18 months of age, as your toddler or 2 year old gains confidence in their movements.

If your child is 2 years old and still has not mastered walking backward, it is a good idea to consult with their pediatrician to rule out any possible underlying issues.

2 year olds and other toddlers are constantly learning about their bodies and how they move.

Walking backwards is a good way for toddlers to experiment with different movements and improve their coordination and balance.

Walking backwards also helps toddlers muscles to develop as walking backward is a way for toddlers to experiment movements and to also improve their balance and coordination.

Some children and toddlers also walk backwards to explore their vestibular system, that helps them with balance and spatial awareness.

And some toddlers and 2 year olds may simply walk backwards as they are playing and find it fun.
