Well, I acutally don't know. The true meaning of a "kid" is a baby goat, but some people call children "kids" because they think that "kids" is another word for children. But the proper way to call children is children.

Children are called toddlers because they are at a stage where they are just learning to walk, or "toddle," hence the term "toddler." This developmental stage typically occurs between the ages of 1 and 3 years old.

It's onomatopoeic for what they do. That unbalanced, running, rocking gait is what is known as toddling.

The word kid comes from the old Norse word kith. You have heard the "of kith and kin" to mean family members. So the people began using kid for young children.

What is the difference in parenting toddlers and babies?

The difference is that they can't really take care of themselves. Children can have snacks and teens can cook their own food, unlike the babies and toddlers have to be feed by the parents .The babies and toddlers have to stay in their crib until someone picks them up, unlike the children and teens. The part that I hate the most of toddlers and is CHANGING THE DIPPER! Kids and teens don't do that (thankfully). Hope I helped.
