Hi!
I have a 2 year old son who is developing really well and has no problems with his speech or physical development. However he just doesn't seem to be able to grasp the concept of colours. I spend so much time going through books and talking to him about the colours of his cars etc, but if I ask him what colour something is he just says 'Green' lol.
He has a cousin who is 12 days younger than him and he has known his colours for some time now (although the difference in them physically is massive so they are developing at different rates anyway!). The problem being that my MIL seems to think it's a race between them and because my boy isn't reciting colours as well as his cousin I am being pushed to teach him and made to feel like he's behind.
Does anyone have any tips to help me to get him to grasp this? Or is it just something he will learn in his own time and I just need to wear my armour when the MIL visits and tell her to stop pushing him/me/us?
