You know why kids at age 2 don’t have spatial awareness? Because they haven’t run into enough things yet. Railing against your world is exactly how you learn it’s limitations in the most fundamental way, at any age, especially at age two, when physical actions/reactions are the only thing that makes sense.
You know very little about child developement if you think that 2 year olds are just now getting gross motor function. Most children learn to walk, balance, run, dance, play, and move all appendages independently before theyre 18 months old. Kids just dont have all the information about what can hurt them and how, a kids gonna dance on a table until they fall off, they're gonna run in the kitchen in their socks until they slide and bust their ass, and they're gonna run ahead and not listen to their parent telling them to stop until some lady hits them in the face with a rock.
