*'''Learn to speak:''' This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the toddler and choosing Teach to Talk. In general, nothing in particular happens after a toddler learns this. However, in ''The Sims 2'', if two toddlers playing together at a toy box{{confirm}} or [[Activity table|Teeny Tykes Activity Table]]{{vgversion|TS2:FT}} have learned to talk, they can build relationships fairly quickly.
*'''Learn to walk''': This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the toddler and choosing Teach to Walk. After learning this skill, a toddler can stand and walk, which is faster than crawling, though they are still slower than older Sims. Toddlers who have learned to walk are able to escape their crib if their [[
*'''Potty train''': This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the Potty Chair and choosing "Potty Train <toddler name>." This cannot be done if the toddler's bladder need is all the way green.
Toddlers can also learn skills for later life by using certain [[Toy#Skill toys|toys]]. In ''The Sims 2'', they can play with the [[Rip Co. Wobbly Wabbit Head|rabbit head]] for [[charisma]], the [[Rip Co. Xylophone|xylophone]] for [[Creativity (skill)|creativity]], and the [[Baby Brainiac Peg Toybox|block game]] for [[logic]]. Toddlers can use the activity table with the ''FreeTime'' expansion to draw or to play with blocks, allowing them to learn creativity and [[mechanical]] skills, respectively. ''FreeTime'' also allows toddlers to gain charisma by learning and singing the nursery rhyme.
In ''The Sims 3'', toddlers and children can learn up to three skill points in a skill by using certain toys. These points don't appear until the child grows into a child/teenager (depends on the skill) and attempts something related to the skill (such as cooking a meal or reading a

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', toddlers do not need to learn these skills to grow up well, as that depends on the level of the toddler's [[aspiration bar]] when he or she grows up. In fact, [[PlantSim]] toddlers{{vgversion|TS2:S}} start out with all three basic skills already learned. However, toddlers will often roll high-value [[Wants and Fears|wants]] to learn each of their three basic skills, so learning them can help a toddler grow up well. Teaching these skills can also be high-value wants for parents, especially those with the [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] or [[Knowledge]] aspirations. With ''[[FreeTime]]'', learning the toddler skills gives the toddler [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|lifetime aspiration]] points. A toddler will form a positive memory of learning the skill from whichever Sim did the last bit of teaching before the skill was learned, and that Sim will get a positive memory of having taught the skill. Not learning the three basic skills will not have any negative effect on a Sim's later life.
''FreeTime'' also adds the Nursery Rhyme skill, which, unlike the three basic skills, can be taught by children as well as by older Sims. Learning this skill enables the toddler to sing the Nursery Rhyme, which will raise [[Music and Dance]] enthusiasm and
The [[Pasteur's HomoGenius Smart Milk|Smart Milk]] [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]] will make toddlers learn skills faster. If the ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' expansion is installed, toddlers will learn skills faster in the fall. If the Sim doing the teaching is wearing a [[Thinking Cap]], the toddler will learn faster.
===The Sims 3===
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', learning these skills can bring in [[lifetime happiness]] points. In ''The Sims 3'', a toddler must learn these skills in order to age well. This will affect whether or not the player will be able to choose a new [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] when the toddler grows up into a child.
==The Sims 4==
Toddlers in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' can learn five skills:
*'''[[Communication]]:'''
*'''[[Imagination]]''':
*'''[[Movement]]''':
*'''[[Thinking]]''':
*'''[[Potty]]''':
Below is a matrix that summarises the interactions and abilities toddlers get when they advance to a particular skill level<sup><ref name=":0">The Sims 4 Toddler Guide: Raising and Teaching Toddlers - http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/parenting/toddlers.php</ref></sup>. Toddlers can attain other interactions depending on their traits.

For example, if a toddler ages up with a movement skill level 4, she will start her child life stage at motor skill level 2 and 44% of the current motor skill bar completed (consequently, she has 56% to go to get to motor skill level 3). If a toddler has reached at least level 3 in four skills, then (s)he will get a ''Happy Toddler'' bonus trait, which boosts all skill gains by 10%. If a toddler has reached the maximum level in all skills (except Potty), then (s)he will get a ''Top Notch Toddler ''bonus trait, which boosts all skill and career gains by 25%
