Hi all,
My DS is 14 months old but is still not pointing. To be honest I haven’t been practising this with him and I don’t know if I am supposed to or is he meant to learn it all by himself.
He can walk, wave, say a few words (hello, bye bye, oh oh, mama, good night). He can count in English up to 10 and up to 3 in a foreign language (probably doesn’t know what counting really is but he can say them). He sings to his nursery rhymes (actually sings them pretty well). He has started to sing ABCs.
He can pretend play as well. He isn’t around other children a lot so when I do take him to Gymboree or cousins house, it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes he would go to them to get a toy but mostly plays on his own. Now I don’t know what normal play is at this stage. Is he meant share toys (because he won’t and neither would his cousins) or run around with the other children?
Also, he doesn’t try to grab my attention when he does something and neither does he bring any toys to me (or things he might find interesting). He does however feed me raisins lol.
I’m getting really worried. I was worried when he was 12 months about pointing but gave it more time. Now he’s 14 and still doesn’t point.
Also, he loves pulling my hair. He will stroke it and fall asleep and pull it when angry.
Thanks all
