Pointing out body parts yet?

killysmum23

Hi there I'm new here and I haven't posted much yet but anyway I'm just a little paranoid and seeking advice or reasurrance that my toddler is not the only only. Anyways my son is 15 month and he was born 9 weeks early so his adjusted age would be 13 months and developmentally we always see him as 2month behind his actual age. I have been working with him for a month now on body parts and tried all different strategies and he is not interested I'm now trying to just focus on one body part at a time and this week I'm working on belly and nothing he just isn't interestred he waves ,highfives, claps ,and says dada and kitty cat with meaning. I know it might still be early and I'm guilty of comparing and recently spent time with a younger baby who knows three body parts and it kinda through me for a loop. I just hope I'm not failing at teaching him and he is just not inerested in that yet.

I have 2 kids and still compare to other kids even though I know I shouldn't. I wouldn't worry about this at all. The only thing you can do is keep trying. I doubt your LO is behind.

Thank you for your response it is so hard not to compare I know every child is different but still can't help but worry sometimes.

I worried to no end over my first kid and always thought he was behind. My husband still teases me about some of the things I stressed over.

It's early. My LO just got interested in most body parts at 15 mos.

My daughter knew all the parts of the face by 12 months but her cousin who is a boy and 12 days older didn't start saying them till like 18 months. That's a pretty big difference but I think boys can just be late talkers.
