Hope this is in the right section, but I took my two year old for his 2 year review today (only to be told they usually see children at 27 months and he is 25, but they booked the damn appointment) and the HV seemed a bit concerned when I said he doesn't really play make believe with dolls/ teddies. He likes anything with wheels he can push or ride on, building blocks, physical toys to climb on etc. He has cuddled a few teddies before, but surely not every child wants to play 'feed the dolly/put teddy to bed'?
I never really thought about it as he has his preferences for toys and is otherwise a very confident, affectionate and social child. I don't want to waste money buying toys I know he won't play with.
So does it really matter? Why would she have been so surprised about it?
