When do toddlers learn to jump?

[Throwwaway]

My son is 2 in less than a month and still can’t jump, he just stamps one foot. When did your kids jump?

My daughter is 20 months and can just about do it. She loves calling us for a "dump" where we all jump together.

Ds was over 4, he has dyspraxia. Dd was about 18 months.

I'm sure mine was at least 3

And boys skip later than girls.

About 2 and a half

Mine both about 20 months

Funnily enough I was having this conversation with a friend today as her I was helping her 22 month old on the trampoline and she’s at the knee-bending but not quite able to take off stage. I suddenly remembered a set of identical twins I used to know when DS was a toddler, and there was a brief stage when the most reliable way to tell them apart was that one could jump and one couldn’t so you had to ask them to demonstrate!

Mine was in preschool, so 3, closer to 4 before it was controlled in anyway though. He's just turned 5 and will leap off anything and everything now! Some do the physical stuff earlier than others 🤷‍♀️

My eldest son had some sort of health visitor assessment when he turned 2 and it was a big deal that he couldn't jump. I worried about it loads at the time, but he didn't walk until 17 months so I think he was just a bit slow on the uptake with that sort of thing. He's nine next week and can definitely jump now!

He has always been a bit behind with motor skills to be honest, but he's a proper brain box so I just think we can't all be good at everything. My other children walked and jumped sooner but I really wouldn't worry too much at this stage.

Some of these stories are very amusing! thank you everyone 🙏

A hop is a kind of jump - a one foot to one foot jump. There are 5 different kinds of jumps.

A skip is a hop and a leap sequence (a leap is also a jump).
