My son is almost 14 months old and rarely waves and claps. He will do it very occasionally, for example he has clapped twice in the last week and waved maybe once. But he doesn’t do it consistently and doesn’t clap when we clap, he has just done it randomly. The waving is similar he sometimes waves when we wave but hardly ever. We also doesn’t really copy actions in songs, although again he has done it sometimes in the past.
He points for things he wants, but with his hand rather than his index finger. And if I say where is the banana (for example) he will point at the banana with his whole hand. He has pointed at some things whilst we are out i.e. a duck, the car and the light but he doesn’t do it very often.
Is this something I should contact the health visitor about or is it still too early? We have really been trying to encourage clapping and waving the last few weeks but he just doesn’t seem interested.
