How should an 18-month-old baby's education be — I'm very confused about this, what do I need to do?

When we talk about education for 18 months, we generally mean daily routine, setting boundaries, and supporting language development. At this age, 'education' is not structured lessons as many parents think, but rather learning naturally through small moments during the day.
The most effective things: setting simple and consistent boundaries (for example, no toys at the dinner table — maintaining this determination every time), offering choices (red cup or blue cup?), and nourishing their language by talking at every opportunity. At 18 months, babies hear 'no' a lot, but opening up areas where they can say 'yes' is important.
Is there a specific situation that's confusing you (sleep, eating, being stubborn) — if you tell me that, I can give you something more concrete.
