Dd still can't recognize colors/

DMB2STEP

She is 3 1/2  - will be 4 in May and cannot distinguish any colors.. The other day my husband drew in brown crayon and she did say it was the color of chocolate milk  but cannot name the colors at all.. I mentioned this to the pedi in September and she said it can be a sign of a learning disability.. She has had no other delays and talks way more advanced than most her age. If she doesn't know her colors by March the doc said to have her evaluated. She gets extremely frustrated when even trying to help her with the colors.. Not sure why because she seems so smart with everything else.

I wouldn't worry too much--try to keep teaching her (just through every day life). I think in the end, she'll catch up in that area. She's just busy learning other things.

She may be color blind.

ditto GHM.  I wouldn't worry about it, since she is on track or ahead in her other development.  My son is 3.5 and had issues with shapes until just a couple of months ago.  However, he speaks German extremely well, so I wasn't too concerned about his development.

btw...how have you been feeling lately?

I wouldn't worry too much yet but would keep working on it.

Re being colorblind. A girl cannot be colorblind unless her mother is colorblind.

ETA: oops, dad must be colorblind and mom must be a carrier

My DD is the same way.  She is the same age.  She knows pink and white and that is pretty much it all the time.  I do not think she is delayed at all.   March is 3 months away, 3 months ago, DD couldn't reach a light switch or dress herself all by herself.  3 months is a long time.

I thought mine couldn't either.  I was actually wondering if she was color blind, then I poured a bag of M&M's out and told her she could have one GREEN one, then one RED one, etc.  Amazingly enough, she knew her colors then!  But she still sometimes doesn't know the color if you ask her directly.  She is noticing when things match and if we have the same color on she will say something like look we are the same today!
