Hi to everyone
My daughter is 16 month old & i dont know if i am worrying too much so i need your help.
My daughter always was a tv lover , she watches cocomelon alot.
She laughs when they laugh, clap & dance when they do. She pays attention to them carefully.
When i try to play with her while the tv is on, she keep turning back to the tv.
I DECIDED that there will be no more TV (maybe should have done that earlier )
Things she does and doesnt.
- she babbles but doesnt say words.
- she seems to understand when i tell her, come, stand up, open your mouth etc.
- she laughs , smiles , responds to name .
- she walks perfectly.
- she eats alone.
- she doesnt like us to teach her to play with her educational toys , instead she like to grab the remote and play with it, and yeah she know that when i press something should cchange in the tv .
- she doesnt copy what i do .
- she doesnt point.
- she plays with her toys but still prefers remote, mobile, bottles ( same as siblings)
- she claps.
- if she dislikes what im saying to doing she shouts (she doesnt shout other times or if i sing for her ) i truly believe its coz she wants her tv.
- ahe sleeps 11 hours at night and naps 1-2 hours once a day.
- she is okay around family and friends.
- she explores everything with her index finger by touching and feeling it.
-she likes it when we play with her (still searching for the tv)
-she knows how to drink from her bottle etc.
I guess my main concern is that she doesnt wanna pay attention when im trying to teach her body parts and educational games.( she is so attached to her tv)
I can tell she is missing the tv, been 2 days.
Tv was a bad decision :(
Any ideas ? Any suggestions? Any worries ?
