hes only just turned 2 and the main thing worrying me is hes seems unable to do jigsaws. when i say jigsaws i mean the baby ones where you match a picture to its shape and insert! he seems to be able to do shapesorters but could be a fluke and doesnt have a very good one!
his nephew was doing floor puzzles at this age but my son cant do baby ones?
he doesnt show that much interest which may be down to me not stting down and doing them but surely its a basic skill to match a picture to a shape even when theres a picture in the shape to match it??
he also knws no colours or numbers! he is starting to mimic me when counting though and many people ask him colours and numbers (i think they think he knows!) which im hoping will help!
Your son sounds very normal. He is still a baby and each month will bring wonderful changes.
I taught my son sign language at 8 months. He learned to speak with his hands by 10 months and was fully capable of communication through sign language between 12-14 months.
My son still has trouble with colors and numbers and only know a couple of letters. He is now 2.5yrs and has only been potty trained for 2 weeks.
Listen, don’t worry about it. At 24 months, this isn’t a basic skill. I have taught my son many things and he is very smart. He still hasn’t mastered the things you have listed, but he will.
