1 YO doesn't wave or clap

He was one in July. Great eye contact, knows his name. Points at things he likes/wants. Babbles a lot. Crawls & pulls himself up.

However no clapping or waving, despite me trying to encourage him daily.

My DD who is now 6 was doing this at 9/10 months.

He's in to everything & I wonder if he's just not interested but also wondering if this means there's anything 'wrong'.

Anyone has/had this?

TIA

Has he had his 12 month check yet @boringsod?

Sorry my link didn't work. The 12 month check is here Blush

@RappersNeedChapstick yes he did, but it was done when he had just turned 11 months. He also had a Baileys assessment done as he had meningitis when he was born & all development was scored as normal on all areas then.

If they did the 12 months Ages & Stages was he ok on the communication section? How does hr do on this SLT progress checker?

@RappersNeedChapstick all answers were yes except one I put 'I'm not sure' & it said he may need help but I can't imagine most parents say yes to all! Thank you though.

You can book an appointment with one of their SLTs if it says they may need support and it is free Wink

@RappersNeedChapstick Thanks! I'll see how we get on over the next 6 weeks. The clapping & waving is the thing that's concerning me tbh.
