I think its more of a guideline for by the time they turn 3. Her kid definitely looks a few months older than my son who was 2 in December and my son can do 98% of everything she said in this video and knows all his body parts most shapes and the 9 main colours. Her son is a tad bit better at fine motor skills though. Some kids younger than my sin know the full alphabet. My son doesn't. So it really is just a guideline from 2 to by 3
Kids all develop at different rates. Nobody should feel discouraged or inadequate if your child has not reached most milestones. Other than that, awesome video.
+joshua biggerstaff I totally agree! I mention this in my Instagram post. In fact, Kai hasn’t reached some of the milestones mentioned. It’s to give people an idea of what to expect. :)
I have noticed this some milestones are met and exceeded while others take longer to happen. For instance our son was born with club feet and he was delayed when it came to walking and did not start until 16 months then just absolutely exploded in progression. Then it seemed like he was having difficulty learning names of different objects but again all of sudden whatever had to click clicked and I can teach him any new object and he will learn the name of it within 10 seconds and remember it. Speech is the one right now that is taking him longer than anything else he does say quite a few words but for whatever reason it always seems to be when he feels like it I am sure this is normal so I just encourage him to speak. You can't force a child to speak if they don't want to in fact I don't believe in forcing a child to do anything my philosophy is if something isn't working do something else or do it another way that always seems to work.
True my baby sister steals my trumpet and plays it some times and can say what Color and objects is, and If she sees,you sweeping she will try to help If you let her and she can organise tiny castles yellow, blue, and pink in color order Edit she is 2 and a half
the day my daughter turned two ( that week ) she randomly came out and counted to 10. My jaw still hurts from the impact of hitting the floor so hard. Every day she develops and suprises us with new things. Its just insane!
@@andresbrambila4268 my 2 little sisters could, they could say connected sentences then too. It was easier to help them count to 10 when you made it into a song, because they loved Nursery rhythms and songs
Hey!! Speech Pathologist here---I am so stoked to see this excellent summary of milestones put into a nice concise video for not just OT and PT, but also ST! Well done
This video gives me so much relief. I’ve been reading that kids should say 50+ words at 2 and my son definitely isn’t. I’ve been so worried about autism but starting to feel better since he is doing much of what you discuss here. Thank you 🙏.
@@meeds he is! He turned 3 in October and after that time he started at a developmental preschool half days for 5 days a week and then goes to daycare the other half. He gets speech and OT at school plus private speech and OT twice a week as well. Around Thanksgiving he started saying 3-4 word sentences and pointing 👍. At this point he uses sentences to say what he wants (I want milk, I want to go outside, I want to go walk), but isn’t yet conversational to where he’ll tell you things that happened at school or anything. But it’s huge progress to where we were a year ago with he was just learning to use single words to request.
@@katpender1 thank you so much for this well explained feedback. I have a 22 months child as well, and he does everything and I was just worried just like you were, and I was hoping he could say some words, apart from mama and dada. I’m thinking of sending him to a developmental school as well.
So happy to hear you say he really picked up in vocabulary at 2. My little guy is almost 2 ahead in milestones besides vocabulary. He doesn't have many clear words but understanda everything I say and ask. He's also a stay at home kid with mom ALL the time so I feel that plays the biggest part in him to speaking many clear words or combo words. He's also very very shy
He most definitely understands like you said . And honestly I believe he can talk he just chooses not to lol I've noticed that a lot in my last two children ! Like I swear they're wayyyyy smarter than what we know
My baby only struggle with language only and she’s 17 mos. she’s a pro in all but talking!! The brain is so powerful, may sound crazy, but I believe we Box them in with milestones and training. I cannot wait until she talks!!!! I’m gonna cry.
I love this video, it’s really helped my daughter is turning 2 in like two months and she already does most of the stuff... plus I’ve been teaching her in two different languages cause in our family two languages are spoken, but it’s going good, she understands in English and our home language. So I’m pretty proud considering I’m always doubting myself as a first time mother, I always thought I was doing things wrong but I think I’m doing good so far.. Thanks for this video I appreciate it.. it really helps and I look forward to see if she develops anything else during this milestone.
Thank you! This was very comprehensive! I’m on my third child and he is at 22months- with COVID 19 in full effect (😩😷) things are looking quite different this round. Due to the current state of affairs my child cannot play with other children his age and I have not had the opportunity to get a gauge of where he is at in his development and how that compares to children his age. This was so helpful as a reminder of what to expect in and around year 2!
Thank you so much for this - I have a 2.5 year old half sister that I haven't seen in years and it has made it so much easier to picture how she would be now. :)
Very thorough. I’d just be a little concerned, particularly when so many parents are isolated and find it harder to gauge during the covid period, the use of the word ‘should’ which crops up a lot in the video. Replacing with “may” would be a relief to a lot of parents.
My 20-month-old was born 15 weeks early, and is somewhat delayed (no walking or talking yet, but can climb stairs, understands some words and actions, etc). But this has put my mind at ease somewhat, as she is only technically 16 months of age. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I absolutely love and appreciate your videos. I work with early intervention as a service coordinator so i work with lids from 0-3 and every month i monitor services for my cases.

Mrs. Kingpin it’s hard to tell and kids develop so differently. Kids who may seem advanced as toddlers can be struggling later on or be at an average level by the time they’re in middle school. Or they may continue to be advanced from the toddler stage to adulthood or up to some lower age. If a child struggle to do these standard things that’s something to pay attention to but the idea that a child has to be able to do the same things as the kids around them is unfair to do to a child because kids are individuals just like us adults and they are better at some things and need to practice at some or have reached their potential in some areas for that level of their age. So much comes in to play because one kid may be born early in a year and another late in the year (and we all know so much happens even in just one or two months for a child), so that’s another aspect why it’s important to not compare kids (even if they are born in the same month). If one looks at children growing up in abusive homes they can physically be ok but psychologically seem to struggle with basic things because they didn’t have adults to invest time with them so they didn’t develop different skills and their language level will often be at a lower level. Often these kids from abusive homes will be very timid or very ”energetic” (due to low self-esteem or trying to cope with big emotions no one taught them how to handle etc). It’s lovely to see videos such as this with a toddler who is happy and engaging and whose boundaries is respected (asking if they want to do different things and not having the child be met with disappointment if they say ”no”. Please don’t compare your child with other kids, but if you, like other parents may notice things meet them there so they can excel to the best of their ability. As a kid, adults considered me advanced and I started school one year early and skipped one grade, but around high school (even if I was he higher end at my class) I had reached a point where I had to work hard for my grades like all the other students at the higher end. The whole advanced is putting too much stress on parents and kids. 💛 Ps. I apologize in advance for any potential grammar/spelling errors, but English is my 3rd language.
Thank you so much! Your video is so detailed and I really appreciate that. I like how you break it down into each of the 5 areas of development. I’ve been watching multiple milestone videos for 2 year olds, and this is by far the best I’ve seen.
I appreciate your depth of knowledge on this. I have a soon to be 2 year old and everything you had said is what we're looking for. I imagine you're an incredible mother. This video should be shared in ever college human growth and development class. 😂
I was crazy before all the time thinking whats the problem with my daughter, so what I did I tried everything to help her with her development and when she was only 1 year and 11 months she started talking and now she is 2 years and 3 months I can't stop her from talking anymore.
Thanks so much for this video. I'm a homeschooling mum and my little one just turnt 2 and is right on track as she is doing everything mentioned and more it's been a bit frustrating due to lockdown not being able to get her out to her usual playgroup or home ed group to socialise.
Wow, really thought my son was behind on somethings but I guess he’s right where he should be! I feel bad sometimes because I have him so advanced in motor skills but not in language 😅
I know this video is 2 years old but thank you so much! Helped me realize that my niece is right on track with everything, no regression or lack of understanding. If anything I think she's excelling faster after watching this, thanks for putting my mind at ease. Ive had two nieces before this but I was a lot younger and didnt understand much then, theyre 6 1/2 and 4 now so ive got those ages to worry about but I dont know much about 2 year olds other than how to feed, dress, bathe, change diaper, and put to sleep, oh and of course play. I wanted to make sure I was on the right track with her development and all seems good!!!!
This is a great video. My two year old hasn't started preschool and hasn't developed many of these things well mostly speaking. Holding this issue gets resolved when he starts school this January
How did he do? My son does all these things but his vocabulary is still mild. I understand everything he says but strangers don’t. & he says 2 word sentences but won’t talk unless he want to. He starts school preschool in Jan 🙏🏻
My little guy is 14months and he is doing many of these things. And I def have an idea of what those terrible 2s will be like by his actions now...#pre-terrible2s 😀 Great vid btw
Nice video :) My son just turned 2 but he hasn't spoken any words apart from mama and dada. Other than this he is doing everything you described in the video
I feel discouraged by this video, purely because my son turned 2 in March the 8th. I have been told his vocabulary is a concern because he only knows maybe 15 words. He doesnt know how to string 2 words together. He sometimes shows signs that he understands instructions but gets irritated fast and doesnt do it. His attention span isnt very great so me trying to show him numbers, stack blocks, read a book.. he finds it's boring and walks away uninterested. He loves the outdoors so I try implementing learning techniques outside, etc reading, drawing, but it's like he clicks to what I'm trying to do and he just refuses lol. But I know my son is fine and develops at his own pace
I’m a stay at home mom and my little man is 2 years and 10 months! He’s VERY smart and learns so quickly I’m surprised! He knows his alphabet, numbers, all shapes, colors, all of his animals and noises, and his body parts! I’m hoping we can start to learn to spell his name next and work on our months and days of the week!!
I used this video in my PSY 241 college course for chapters 3 and 4 discussing the first two years of a child's life. This video was very informative and clear with examples discussing a toddler's development. I appreciate that you outlined the 5 important topics as well. TFS
Our Grandson likes to play piano and says “come on Grandad, sit here, there’s room for you”! He’s exceptionally advanced and loves to sit and talk, sometimes for ten minutes at a time! Brilliant.
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever No, he's not. I've seen 3 of your comments so far and I can't imagine what child care course would teach you that children should be speaking in full sentences by 14 months. That's so far from the AAP guidelines and contrary to the vast majority of experts in the field. If your 14 month old niece is having adult conversations at 14 months (which seems doubtful) then kudos to her, but that's not the norm. Not even close.
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever if you know so much and you're so smart, what are you even doing here? What is your problem? Coming here and hurting others saying their children are "behind" ? How dare you
Hi , I have a 5 year old global delay son, he is undergoing ot but he had difficulties in understanding his basic academic activities like ABC or 123, i love him so much it really hurts when i see him struggling. He was hooked on tablet and mobile phone. It broke my heart when i see him teary eyed
My son does all of this but barely says a few words. Gross motor is advanced. He does flips in my arms, jumps off the couch and lands on his feet, climes park ladders, runs everywhere, but he is not a words man. Says some, but doesn't seem too interested. Very good listener and understands commands though. Idk I think boys and girls are different. Every little girl I meet his age is a talking machine, but all the boys are pretty quiet. They are doers at that age.
This was very informative. My 2 year old has Speech Delay and has no words... it's good to see that he's spot on with the other skills. Question tough * 01:44 is that fake grass? if so that's genius! I've grown to hate mowing I might have to copy.
Good day, My daughter is 2yrs11months, she started school on the 12th of January 2022 for a full 8 days until 21st Jan and got sick with flu for a week 24-28th Jan then she returned to school on the 31st January 2022. Today her teacher tells me she needs to see an OT just 10days into her whole school experience. Her message “Good afternoon. I trust you are all doing well🌸 I just want to give some feedback on Aurora. We didn’t speak up immediately because we knew that she’s never been in a school before, but we do feel like it’s appropriate to speak up about it now. She is really having a difficult time learning how to handle herself amongst so many friends in the class and on the playground. She often shows aggressive bahaviour and try’s to hurt them. When teachers speak to her about this behaviour she’ll growl at them and pull faces at them, and will even try to smack the teachers. Tash was in the class yesterday and experienced her in the same way. The kwanda kinetics lady was here today and she also have some concerns about her. We really do want to try and help her to get comfortable at school and in group situations, we can just seethat she is a real sweetheart and just needs a little bit of help. We would like suggest that you please take her to an Occupational Therapist for an assessment, and then we can all work together to help her. Tash recommends this OT, will send the details.🌸” What puzzles me is that she can count to 10, spot all most colours, she can name most animals and items in some of her books. She is able to listen to instructions of placing her dish in the wash basin after eating. She feeds herself and is able to wash her underwear. She is compassionate and does politely say sorry when wrong. Around her small cousin who she has met only 3 times, she feeds her and always try to give the baby a pacifier and would say “baby open your mouth”. To me she is 95% if not more within the milestones. Your response would be highly valuable
Thank you so much! My son is 11 and my daughter is turning two, and we literally forgot everything. 😖 it's helpful to get information presented this way. BTW nice rubber tree.
My 2 year old can count up to 100, say his ABC, he knows the sounds of his letter, read his books, parrot everything he hears, he knows the names of animals, he knows the names of body parts, he can sing songs, climbing up high, spell his name, write some letters and numbers, put his clothes on and take them off, feed himself. Omg the list goes on.
My 2year old has shocked me and as this is my first I was wondering if it is normal for a 2 year old to be able to count to 20 but also can show you 1 to 10 on her fingers
my daughter is a month away from being 2 and does all of these things 😳 in fact, I think she’s been doing most of these since the 18 month mark. she’s always been very advanced so I’m not surprised
I'm in the same boat, and with COVID happening she hasn't been around other kids, so was thinking we just think she's ahead because we are her parents, but then talking with other parents they are surprised at what she does. And you can't outright talk about it online as parents don't seem to likenit, it's fine for parents to celebrate kids doing things when it's around normal time, but if you have a kid that's ahead all of a sudden you are showing off. My daughter will be 2 at the end of the month, she speaks quite clearly, in sentences, can count to 10 organize things by colour, shape or size, she knows abc and the phonics sounds that corresponds with each one, even able to name some words starting with letters, my partner sits her at his PC he tells her what letters to press, space bar and enter and she does it without needing help now. She does stuff that shocks me and my partner all the time, yesterday she read the word dad with zero help, 2 days ago she had 3 toys 2 next to each other 1 apart with a gap, she pointed and said 2 and 1 that's 3, our jaws are still on the floor lol. The throwing a ball always makes me laugh, she could throw a ball and hit me with it before she was even walking 🤣
Your videos are amazing!!! Thank you. Your developmental milestones PDF ends at 12 months. Do you have an update version which covers 12-18 months and 18-24 months (and onwards)? I like having a printout to tick off as my daughter learns new skills and also know what to focus on in her structured play.
Adam Khan I am also struggling to get my 2 year old to speak. Something that I have started to notice is that my 3 year old spends a lot of time speaking over him or speaking for him. I have started taking him into a different room to try to speak with him so she can not interrupt. I also noticed that when he and I are out alone, he starts to come out of his shell a lot. I am planning on taking him out this weekend to encourage our one on one conversation. That way I can work on boosting his own skills with out making my daughter feel like she's doing something wrong.
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever I didn't say anything about discipline. I was saying I take my son out of the room to encourage him to speak. For example if I ask him if he would like something to drink. Or I'll ask what movie he would like to watch. Or if he is frustrated and trying to say hes tired or hungry. I would never yell at my daughter for doing something that she believes is helpful. She is at a stage now where is reading everyone's emotions and facial expressions. If I yell at her for doing something that she believes is helpful, this will confuse her and make her feel like she is doing something wrong. She is too young to understand that her actions are not helping her brother develop. I would hope if you have kids or are responsible for children around you. You are a better and more affective communicator than you come off from such a negative comment.
This is a very good video my son Is doing all of these things! I got worried because my boyfriend's niece is also 2yrs old but she will be 3 in March and she's talking in full clear sentences while my son speaks in jibberish/ sentences lol but he will be 3 in July so she's older than him
I'm looking at what my almost-3-yr-old should be starting to color with. He likes coloring and scribbling . Should we go with crayons or washable markers? He doesn't put things in his mouth anymore.
My son understand everything we say,and we are bilingual,im Samoan and hubby is Canadian,he understands both languages but only says a few words,he obeys whenever we tell him what to do,like help clean up the toys etc he even tries to wash the dishes but the things is he won't speak in full sentences,but points and grunts,leads us when he wants something from the cupboard in the kitchen,loves music and toys and rarely books etc our appointment with the speech therapist is in January and my son is 3 years old just turned 3,the only thing he isn't doing is talking,other than that his vision and hearing is 100%,any mum's on here have any advice ? My son is not autistic etc the only thing is the speaking
Pick one language. He's confused he may understand but he needs a MAIN language and stay in that lane with him...once he starts speaking the MAIN then go back to teaching whatever other language you want him to speak...
Hi there. Is it a red flag that my daughter rarely wants to eat with her spoon or fork. She still likes to eat with her hands even with much prompting.
My boy is two year old but He is not starting to speak... But he understands everything.. He pointed objects some Time He Say some words but no repeated again.... He is very smart but don't know why he is not speak I am so worried. Plz give suggestions.
Don't worry if your boy follow your instructions . N you must keep talking to your baby repeat same words again n again cause babies learn with repetation . Do watch videos on my channel playlist there are videos where m showing how to teach baby talk
I like your voice. Something about it seems familiar, I don’t know if it’s your voice overall that seems familiar or if it’s something about it. I think it’s the lower tones of your voice that sounds familiar. Idk haha voices are suddenly super interesting to me 😂. Love the content though, I’m happy to see parents putting in the extra effort to care for their children and helping guide their little brains to develop into an intelligent and self-regulating adult brain. 😌✌🏽💜
Thank you! Very helpful. It appears that my 2 year old is on track except that she likes Imagine Dragons’ Thunder song and she keeps shouting Thunder. It’s annoying but I can live with that. 🤪
Every child is different so ppl don’t be worried . As long as your child looks at you and does some of this stuff is normal . 😃👍
"He learned how scream at school so now he does it at home. It's lovely." That was too funny
im a single father, my son is 2 years old. thanks for helpful video.
Strength to you and your baby boy o/
Wheres the wife?
I’m a single father with a 2 year old and this is great information. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Single mom of a newly 2 year old. Pray for me lmao Your post was 3 years ago, so I am hoping you survived.
You say 2 but someone who is just 2 compared to someone is almost 3 has major developmental differences so that's why its better to say months.
Aaron Haynes
How old does her son look like??? I think 2 and half right??
Yeah he's definitely 2+ some months.
This. Thats potentially 33% of their life. Great video though.
Hes 30 months

@@meeds highly recommended. Ours is through the school district and designed to socialize the kids and prepare them for kindergarten. Good luck!
So happy to hear you say he really picked up in vocabulary at 2. My little guy is almost 2 ahead in milestones besides vocabulary.

He's also a stay at home kid with mom ALL the time so I feel that plays the biggest part in him to speaking many clear words or combo words. He's also very very shy

How did your kid turn out? 😊
My baby only struggle with language only and she’s 17 mos. she’s a pro in all but talking!! The brain is so powerful, may sound crazy, but I believe we Box them in with milestones and training. I cannot wait until she talks!!!! I’m gonna cry.
Oh wow, my daughter just turned 16 months old and is demonstrating everything you mentioned.
Same apart from blocks. He isn't interested in them would rather destroy it
I was feeling so insecure as a single parent I know need to work on speaking but this video made me feel better 🥰

I’ve read several articles about children born during the pandemic having speech delay! Mines included!

Mrs. Kingpin it’s hard to tell and kids develop so differently. Kids who may seem advanced as toddlers can be struggling later on or be at an average level by the time they’re in middle school. Or they may continue to be advanced from the toddler stage to adulthood or up to some lower age.
If a child struggle to do these standard things that’s something to pay attention to but the idea that a child has to be able to do the same things as the kids around them is unfair to do to a child because kids are individuals just like us adults and they are better at some things and need to practice at some or have reached their potential in some areas for that level of their age. So much comes in to play because one kid may be born early in a year and another late in the year (and we all know so much happens even in just one or two months for a child), so that’s another aspect why it’s important to not compare kids (even if they are born in the same month).
If one looks at children growing up in abusive homes they can physically be ok but psychologically seem to struggle with basic things because they didn’t have adults to invest time with them so they didn’t develop different skills and their language level will often be at a lower level. Often these kids from abusive homes will be very timid or very ”energetic” (due to low self-esteem or trying to cope with big emotions no one taught them how to handle etc).
It’s lovely to see videos such as this with a toddler who is happy and engaging and whose boundaries is respected (asking if they want to do different things and not having the child be met with disappointment if they say ”no”.
Please don’t compare your child with other kids, but if you, like other parents may notice things meet them there so they can excel to the best of their ability.
As a kid, adults considered me advanced and I started school one year early and skipped one grade, but around high school (even if I was he higher end at my class) I had reached a point where I had to work hard for my grades like all the other students at the higher end. The whole advanced is putting too much stress on parents and kids.

Ps. I apologize in advance for any potential grammar/spelling errors, but English is my 3rd language.
My 2yr old is counting to 20!!!
Mine is too
Yes! It’s exciting 🥰
Mine too, washing hands for 20 seconds that's how she leaned 😁
My son is 22 months old and already doing all of these ❤ so happy to know he’s doing great 😊😊
My 22 month old can already do all these things so that’s great.
Thank you so much! Your video is so detailed and I really appreciate that. I like how you break it down into each of the 5 areas of development. I’ve been watching multiple milestone videos for 2 year olds, and this is by far the best I’ve seen.
My 2 year old was with me while I watched this video and he thought it was a person I was talking to, he waved to the screen and said “Hi”, too cute !
❤ ty. I was sooo worried that my little guy might be on the spectrum but your video kind of put me at ease ❤
Thank you so much for putting this up it makes me feel better knowing that my son is doing just fine 🙂
I appreciate your depth of knowledge on this. I have a soon to be 2 year old and everything you had said is what we're looking for. I imagine you're an incredible mother. This video should be shared in ever college human growth and development class. 😂
This makes me feel so much better because I was worried about all these milestones to meet. Lol
I was crazy before all the time thinking whats the problem with my daughter, so what I did I tried everything to help her with her development and when she was only 1 year and 11 months she started talking and now she is 2 years and 3 months I can't stop her from talking anymore.
I'm not a parent, but I'm trying to write a book with small children commonly involved so I appreciate this video just like all the parents
My daughter is turning 2 this march and she does this 5 skills. I might try the kicking the ball 🥰 i think it's lovely
Thanks so much for this video. I'm a homeschooling mum and my little one just turnt 2 and is right on track as she is doing everything mentioned and more it's been a bit frustrating due to lockdown not being able to get her out to her usual playgroup or home ed group to socialise.
Wow, really thought my son was behind on somethings but I guess he’s right where he should be! I feel bad sometimes because I have him so advanced in motor skills but not in language 😅
You’ve got such incredible mom energy. Followed.
Thank you so very much! 🙏🏾🤍🤍🤍
OMG. thank you. Taking peds currently and this helped a lot. Thank you!
I know this video is 2 years old but thank you so much! Helped me realize that my niece is right on track with everything, no regression or lack of understanding. If anything I think she's excelling faster after watching this, thanks for putting my mind at ease. Ive had two nieces before this but I was a lot younger and didnt understand much then, theyre 6 1/2 and 4 now so ive got those ages to worry about but I dont know much about 2 year olds other than how to feed, dress, bathe, change diaper, and put to sleep, oh and of course play. I wanted to make sure I was on the right track with her development and all seems good!!!!
This is a great video. My two year old hasn't started preschool and hasn't developed many of these things well mostly speaking. Holding this issue gets resolved when he starts school this January
How did he do? My son does all these things but his vocabulary is still mild. I understand everything he says but strangers don’t. & he says 2 word sentences but won’t talk unless he want to. He starts school preschool in Jan 🙏🏻
My little guy is 14months and he is doing many of these things. And I def have an idea of what those terrible 2s will be like by his actions now...#pre-terrible2s 😀
Great vid btw
This actually helped a LOT! Thank you so very much! 😊 -The mama
Great refresher for me, the world moves so fast sometimes. And they grow so fast.Thanks I’m very pleased with my 2 year olds development.👍🏾
Nice video :) My son just turned 2 but he hasn't spoken any words apart from mama and dada. Other than this he is doing everything you described in the video
Thank you so much!! :) Is your son receiving any speech therapy to help progress speech?
@@nekoleamber I have been referred to a speech therapist but the appointment is far off, next January.
Same,my son just turned 3 and say mama dada,car,cheese,that's it,he understands everything etc but won't talk
Point and Perspective how is your son doing now
Point and Perspective
How is he doing now?
I feel discouraged by this video, purely because my son turned 2 in March the 8th. I have been told his vocabulary is a concern because he only knows maybe 15 words. He doesnt know how to string 2 words together. He sometimes shows signs that he understands instructions but gets irritated fast and doesnt do it. His attention span isnt very great so me trying to show him numbers, stack blocks, read a book.. he finds it's boring and walks away uninterested. He loves the outdoors so I try implementing learning techniques outside, etc reading, drawing, but it's like he clicks to what I'm trying to do and he just refuses lol. But I know my son is fine and develops at his own pace
This is really helpful, thank you for summarizing and demonstrating these milestones for us first-timers!
This is awesome and I love that you ask them if they want to be on camera
I’m a stay at home mom and my little man is 2 years and 10 months! He’s VERY smart and learns so quickly I’m surprised! He knows his alphabet, numbers, all shapes, colors, all of his animals and noises, and his body parts! I’m hoping we can start to learn to spell his name next and work on our months and days of the week!!
Go mama, go! 💜
Is he vegan ?
Good for you.
I used this video in my PSY 241 college course for chapters 3 and 4 discussing the first two years of a child's life. This video was very informative and clear with examples discussing a toddler's development. I appreciate that you outlined the 5 important topics as well. TFS
lovehope3753 so happy you found it helpful! Thank you for your feedback. 💜😊
This is the best video so far regarding the milestones and this made me relieved 😀 thanks a lot 🙏
Our Grandson likes to play piano and says “come on Grandad, sit here, there’s room for you”! He’s exceptionally advanced and loves to sit and talk, sometimes for ten minutes at a time! Brilliant.
That's amazing!! So fun to watch them grow. :)
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever No, he's not. I've seen 3 of your comments so far and I can't imagine what child care course would teach you that children should be speaking in full sentences by 14 months. That's so far from the AAP guidelines and contrary to the vast majority of experts in the field. If your 14 month old niece is having adult conversations at 14 months (which seems doubtful) then kudos to her, but that's not the norm. Not even close.
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever if you know so much and you're so smart, what are you even doing here? What is your problem? Coming here and hurting others saying their children are "behind" ? How dare you
Hi , I have a 5 year old global delay son, he is undergoing ot but he had difficulties in understanding his basic academic activities like ABC or 123, i love him so much it really hurts when i see him struggling. He was hooked on tablet and mobile phone. It broke my heart when i see him teary eyed
Thanks so much for this. My child does do most of this, only thing he won't do well is talking clearly. He is still in babbaaa language x
My son does all of this but barely says a few words. Gross motor is advanced. He does flips in my arms, jumps off the couch and lands on his feet, climes park ladders, runs everywhere, but he is not a words man. Says some, but doesn't seem too interested. Very good listener and understands commands though. Idk I think boys and girls are different. Every little girl I meet his age is a talking machine, but all the boys are pretty quiet. They are doers at that age.
Nice video. Informative and well communicated.
My child is doing everything you’ve stated at 1 years old going on 2. He definitely doesn’t like when dad & I want to help with anything.
This was very informative. My 2 year old has Speech Delay and has no words... it's good to see that he's spot on with the other skills. Question tough * 01:44 is that fake grass? if so that's genius! I've grown to hate mowing I might have to copy.
Hahaha! Yes, it sure is! Love it - especially living in CA with the fires and dry weather!
Thank you for such an informative video. Awesome things to keep in mind for my toddler ❤
Thank you for the video. But please mention about his exact age as months
This baby is LITERALLY a doll
Good day,
My daughter is 2yrs11months, she started school on the 12th of January 2022 for a full 8 days until 21st Jan and got sick with flu for a week 24-28th Jan then she returned to school on the 31st January 2022. Today her teacher tells me she needs to see an OT just 10days into her whole school experience. Her message “Good afternoon. I trust you are all doing well🌸
I just want to give some feedback on Aurora. We didn’t speak up immediately because we knew that she’s never been in a school before, but we do feel like it’s appropriate to speak up about it now. She is really having a difficult time learning how to handle herself amongst so many friends in the class and on the playground. She often shows aggressive bahaviour and try’s to hurt them. When teachers speak to her about this behaviour she’ll growl at them and pull faces at them, and will even try to smack the teachers. Tash was in the class yesterday and experienced her in the same way. The kwanda kinetics lady was here today and she also have some concerns about her.
We really do want to try and help her to get comfortable at school and in group situations, we can just seethat she is a real sweetheart and just needs a little bit of help. We would like suggest that you please take her to an Occupational Therapist for an assessment, and then we can all work together to help her. Tash recommends this OT, will send the details.🌸”
What puzzles me is that she can count to 10, spot all most colours, she can name most animals and items in some of her books. She is able to listen to instructions of placing her dish in the wash basin after eating. She feeds herself and is able to wash her underwear. She is compassionate and does politely say sorry when wrong. Around her small cousin who she has met only 3 times, she feeds her and always try to give the baby a pacifier and would say “baby open your mouth”. To me she is 95% if not more within the milestones.
Your response would be highly valuable
Great video. My son just turned 2. Looks like he's on track.
Awesome!! Keep up the good work, mama!
Thank you so much! My son is 11 and my daughter is turning two, and we literally forgot everything. 😖 it's helpful to get information presented this way. BTW nice rubber tree.
Thanks, Ebony! Xx
This was really helpful thank you! I have just discovered your channel and love it! ❤️👍🏻
My 2 year old can count up to 100, say his ABC, he knows the sounds of his letter, read his books, parrot everything he hears, he knows the names of animals, he knows the names of body parts, he can sing songs, climbing up high, spell his name, write some letters and numbers, put his clothes on and take them off, feed himself. Omg the list goes on.
Lots of useful information! Very thorough, thank you!
+Maria Alvarez 💜💜
My 2year old has shocked me and as this is my first I was wondering if it is normal for a 2 year old to be able to count to 20 but also can show you 1 to 10 on her fingers
Wow 🤩
my daughter is a month away from being 2 and does all of these things 😳 in fact, I think she’s been doing most of these since the 18 month mark. she’s always been very advanced so I’m not surprised
I'm in the same boat, and with COVID happening she hasn't been around other kids, so was thinking we just think she's ahead because we are her parents, but then talking with other parents they are surprised at what she does.
And you can't outright talk about it online as parents don't seem to likenit, it's fine for parents to celebrate kids doing things when it's around normal time, but if you have a kid that's ahead all of a sudden you are showing off. My daughter will be 2 at the end of the month, she speaks quite clearly, in sentences, can count to 10 organize things by colour, shape or size, she knows abc and the phonics sounds that corresponds with each one, even able to name some words starting with letters, my partner sits her at his PC he tells her what letters to press, space bar and enter and she does it without needing help now.
She does stuff that shocks me and my partner all the time, yesterday she read the word dad with zero help, 2 days ago she had 3 toys 2 next to each other 1 apart with a gap, she pointed and said 2 and 1 that's 3, our jaws are still on the floor lol. The throwing a ball always makes me laugh, she could throw a ball and hit me with it before she was even walking 🤣
Sounds about right for a girl, but she may be gifted :)
Your videos are amazing!!! Thank you.
Your developmental milestones PDF ends at 12 months. Do you have an update version which covers 12-18 months and 18-24 months (and onwards)? I like having a printout to tick off as my daughter learns new skills and also know what to focus on in her structured play.
My 2 years is struggling to speak 😢😢
I'm so sorry to hear this. I would check with your pediatrician to see if you can be referred for a speech evaluation.
Adam Khan I am also struggling to get my 2 year old to speak. Something that I have started to notice is that my 3 year old spends a lot of time speaking over him or speaking for him. I have started taking him into a different room to try to speak with him so she can not interrupt. I also noticed that when he and I are out alone, he starts to come out of his shell a lot. I am planning on taking him out this weekend to encourage our one on one conversation. That way I can work on boosting his own skills with out making my daughter feel like she's doing something wrong.
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever I didn't say anything about discipline. I was saying I take my son out of the room to encourage him to speak. For example if I ask him if he would like something to drink. Or I'll ask what movie he would like to watch. Or if he is frustrated and trying to say hes tired or hungry. I would never yell at my daughter for doing something that she believes is helpful. She is at a stage now where is reading everyone's emotions and facial expressions. If I yell at her for doing something that she believes is helpful, this will confuse her and make her feel like she is doing something wrong. She is too young to understand that her actions are not helping her brother develop. I would hope if you have kids or are responsible for children around you. You are a better and more affective communicator than you come off from such a negative comment.
Ne too
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever yeah that doesn't work. Lol
He is so cute, reminds me of my son ☺️
Thank you for this comprehensive video.
Great helpful video and your son is adorable.
Thank you!
Our 22 month old does similar things but he loves coloring in his own paper. He usually colors in the paper /or book we are holding 😀.
This was very helpful, thank you!
4:55 My 2yo has the same shirt. It is sitting next to me on the couch, waiting to be folded.
That’s so interesting....
Thankyou this helped me a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Injust loved your video even my baby doesvall of it thanks for sharing
Amazingly informative for my degree work! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Natasha! :)
This is a very good video my son Is doing all of these things! I got worried because my boyfriend's niece is also 2yrs old but she will be 3 in March and she's talking in full clear sentences while my son speaks in jibberish/ sentences lol but he will be 3 in July so she's older than him
great video thanks happy new year!
Love this video! You were clear and straight to the point!
Thanks for sharing. ❤
Our kids have same name, sweet. Liked you video.
Thanks for a great concise video!
I'm looking at what my almost-3-yr-old should be starting to color with. He likes coloring and scribbling . Should we go with crayons or washable markers? He doesn't put things in his mouth anymore.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
My son understand everything we say,and we are bilingual,im Samoan and hubby is Canadian,he understands both languages but only says a few words,he obeys whenever we tell him what to do,like help clean up the toys etc he even tries to wash the dishes but the things is he won't speak in full sentences,but points and grunts,leads us when he wants something from the cupboard in the kitchen,loves music and toys and rarely books etc our appointment with the speech therapist is in January and my son is 3 years old just turned 3,the only thing he isn't doing is talking,other than that his vision and hearing is 100%,any mum's on here have any advice ? My son is not autistic etc the only thing is the speaking
@Maria Galicia Same with my DD. We are billingual, she is 19 months and I had concerns for ASD.
Pick one language. He's confused he may understand but he needs a MAIN language and stay in that lane with him...once he starts speaking the MAIN then go back to teaching whatever other language you want him to speak...
Hi there. Is it a red flag that my daughter rarely wants to eat with her spoon or fork. She still likes to eat with her hands even with much prompting.
Thank you great video, had to baby sit, excellent working on all these skills👍👍
My 24th old can’t do any of this :( I watched this because she is in early intervention. But she is literally a year behind .
My boy is two year old but He is not starting to speak... But he understands everything.. He pointed objects some Time He Say some words but no repeated again.... He is very smart but don't know why he is not speak I am so worried. Plz give suggestions.
Don't worry if your boy follow your instructions . N you must keep talking to your baby repeat same words again n again cause babies learn with repetation . Do watch videos on my channel playlist there are videos where m showing how to teach baby talk
I like your voice. Something about it seems familiar, I don’t know if it’s your voice overall that seems familiar or if it’s something about it. I think it’s the lower tones of your voice that sounds familiar. Idk haha voices are suddenly super interesting to me 😂. Love the content though, I’m happy to see parents putting in the extra effort to care for their children and helping guide their little brains to develop into an intelligent and self-regulating adult brain. 😌✌🏽💜
Thank you for this lovely reflection! I appreciate it!! 🤍😘
Loved loved your video ♥️ thank you!
Very helpful
Thank you! Very helpful. It appears that my 2 year old is on track except that she likes Imagine Dragons’ Thunder song and she keeps shouting Thunder. It’s annoying but I can live with that. 🤪
Lol!! Maybe Kai and her can be friends? He looovvveess that song too! 🤣🤣🤣
Kids OT Help of course!
Great video thank you
