20 month old . Need ur help

[Ossyna]

Hi
My daughter is 20 months old & Still doesnt talk ! She loves TV and its so hard to keep her without it. I guess that is part of the problem .
It is soo hard to get her attention to try to teach her stuff .

Things she does / doesnt :

She points at my nose, eyes, ears .

Responds to name 70% of the time

Loves to play with ball , when i ask her to give me the ball to play with her again , she does .

When she wants me to do something for her , she grabs my hand ls and put it over the item ( example : my samsung note has a pen , she wants me to remove it so that she could put it back in )

I give her Lego , she isnt much interested . She removes the pieces and throws them away.

I try to make her comb her hair but she doesnt want to ! ( im 100% sure she knows what is a brush for tho, coz she pulls her head away when i wanna brush her hair )

She respends to me when i say come, no, sit , stand up etc....

Her eye contact to amazing , she loves to look at me & smile alot , and she laughs alot when we play.

She turns on/off the light when i ask ger to .

She babbles + claps with cocomelon song. She knows when to clap when to babble with them etc...

So, is she doing fine so far ???
PLUS , PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS HOW TO TAKE HER OFF TV AND THINGS TO DO WITH HER .

plz dont blame me for letting her watch tv
We r home since 15 march coz of the covid 19
I work from home and dont have anyone else with me .
Meanwhile i left my current job so i need tips and ur help with my daughter .
How to encourage her to talk and have the will to learn new stuff

Thanks in advance

You can try one of two things with the tv, you can decide on a half hour in the day that suits you, like after tea and before her bath and only ever switch it on for that time. If she asks fir it at any other time you just say "we watch tv after tea" and distract her with something else.

The other way is to go hardcore and every time she asks for it, tell her it's broken and never have it on when she's awake, well fir a few weeks till she's ditched the habit.

There are a few things you can do with her at this age.

Getting out each day fir a walk is always good. Is there a park you can get to? Do you have anyone that you can meet up with for a walk?

She can "help" with some tasks. I used to give mine a duster and they would try and dust things they could reach. She might also like to help by putting dirty clothes in the washer or taking the clean ones out.

Have you tried baking with her too? They usually like that as they get your undivided attention, plus biscuits/cakes

One thing I think helped me was only having about 3 or 4 toys out and swapping them over at nap time. Mine seemed to be overwhelmed if there were too many toys around and realistically they didn't play with anything. If I kept it to just a few and changed them over regularly, they played much better.

Once the library and swimming pools are open they are useful too and if you look on Pinterest they're be loads of activities fir two year olds

Sorry I meant activities for 18-24 month olds

Thank u so much ,ill try those tips and i hope ill get her attetion
She is sooo stubborn.... just loke her dad

I've learnt most of the Cocomelon songs. We sing them all the time, and I make some up if I forget the actual words. Also, taking the dummy away during the day (if you use one!), talking to them about everything (this is the hair brush, I'm going to brush your hair, what colour is your hair? Etc.) We have tv free times where I'm playing, talking, engaging. But yeah, because of covid I have used the tv as a baby sitter a lot. My toddler is in nursery now, so that's helping. Any chance you could do some nursery sessions?

She’s a bit young for Lego I think. Can you get some duplo instead? Or blocks that you can stack and she can knock over.

Some bubble mix, nearly all kids love bubbles. You could blow them out of the window or go in the garden.

See if your local library is open for click and collect to get some books to read together.

Make a mini soft play out of your sofa cushions.

Do some singing together, ones with actions like Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, the Hokey Cokey, this little piggy went to market.
