ds (17mo) is trying really hard but just stamps

thinking about it it must be quite difficult, thinming about springing, bending knees etc

can you rmemeber when yours started?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ds was 2 this week and is making a good stab at it. He has been trying for a few weeks but I don't think I will be entering him for the jumping Olympics just yet

DD when she could walk (13 months). She was born with springs in her feet and I think that's pretty exceptional. DS was about 2.5 which is probably more "normal".

BernieBear · 27/10/2006 08:45

Yes about 2.5 for ds. Although was trying from about 19mths.

Dottydot · 27/10/2006 09:37

About 2.5 as well for ds2. He's 2.6 now and trying to hop - very funny as it always results in him falling over!

my dd turned 2 on 1st october so she had been learning to jump about 3 weeks before her bday

terramum · 27/10/2006 11:38

DS was just under 2 I think. He did show a want to do it before then though - lots of stamping about & frustrated looks!

Charleesunnysunsun · 27/10/2006 11:40

My DS is 2 and tries so hard to jump but can't quite get the hang of getting both feet off the floor!

Gobbledispook · 27/10/2006 11:42

I think ds3 was just under 2 as well. He's been able to do it since the summer and he was 2 at the end of August.

DS1 can't jump yet - he's 2.6. He can read though

singersgirl · 27/10/2006 18:15

DS1 was 2 and a bit, but I can't quite remember how big a bit - 3 months or so? DS2 did it at about 20 months (remarkably for one so uncoordinated in every other respect).

lemonAIIEEE · 27/10/2006 18:17

About 19 months, I think. It was hard to stop him jumping for quite a while after he worked out how to do it...

We bought a small trampoline for dd when she was 20 months old. She started jumping really soon afterwards.
