4. She is also a good sleeper ( can self settle after the bottle ) and very affectionate, . She imitates everything .

8. She can identify animals on books and tv all the time correctly .
9. She understands simple commands like . Time to go out , bath time , get your shoes , shut the door “ pick it up “ get me baby dolly “
10. She can tell me when she does a “poo “ yeah

She knows who we are and points to where is mummy but it
She can tell me when she does a “poo “

Reason to worry .
She tenses up and tippy toes when excited since she was 14 months .

She rotates her wrists and ankles when excited, always done . It’s what worries me most .
My HV , GP don’t see a reason to assess her.
Many thanks ☺️

Hi, if that's the only reason you're worried then I would agree with your HV/GP to be honest. Trust your instincts though and raise again in a few months if still concerned

Tip toe walking can be part of the normal development for some toddlers. The wrist/hand movements on their own wouldn’t be enough to assess/diagnose. However, your threads indicate you are concerned, so you should speak to the GP, HV or paed again.
