I've been directed here from the Behaviour/Development board as I posted there originally, looking for activities for my 2 year old. I have absolutely no idea if he is G&T as I come into contact with no other children except those we see at play groups. It's probably too early to tell anyway, but whether he is or isn't I'd still like some ideas for games and things that are a bit less dull (for him and me!) than puzzles or matching games! Haha!
I put this list up of things he can do in my original post so I'll just paste it here :
So far he :
- Knows all the basic colours
- Knows all the basic shapes
- Knows all the days of the week
- Knows his address
- Knows the names and ages of close and extended family members
- Can understand familial relationships (ie knows that his Nan is my mother and his uncle is my brother)
- Can identify all letters except Q which he thinks is O, and tell you a word beginning with each letter
- Can identify numbers up to 10, count to 20 and can tell you the amount of something you are holding (he counts by pointing)
- Knows what denomination of pound note you are holding
- Understands the concept of time, ie asks me what time it is, as 2pm is roughly nap time, 4pm is pick up daddy time, 10am is playgroup etc
- Can hold a full conversation
- Can sing Incy Wincy Spider/Baa Baa Black Sheep/Twinkle Twinkle/Happy Birthday/Candy by Robbie Williams
Yesterday he called his dad from my phone on his own (ie found his name in the address book and pressed call) and said "Hello Dad, its me!"
We read to him every night already and play I spy, talk about things on the road and road signs etc as we walk etc but any idea's for activities would be great!
