Why would you cry? I have super smart nieces all grown up who could not speak until after age 2.

Great video! Parents remember not to compare kids. Everybody grows at different rates and it’s not a competition. If you truly can’t help it, don’t let this kid bring you down, as someone else stated this boy is INCREDIBLY advanced for his age. If your child isn’t doing everything he is, it’s perfectly normal and this isn’t a requirement list. It’s just good recommendations on things to teach them.

Very true! I’m a grandma and when my kids started school I had no idea 25 years ago parents were pushing their kids so hard until then. I’m sure I could’ve worded this better but I don’t mean it to be cruel. I thought my son was so smart and how impressed the teacher would be….boy was that a shocker! There were kids that were reading and so advanced, I never even thought they could know so much in pre-k! I was a stay at home mom and had to fortune of being able to teach my child myself and work with both of them and thought I was doing extremely well. Ha! There is always a kid or half a class 😂 that is smarter than your kid. Take this with a grain of salt. Just do your best and never compare.

Hey Melba! Welcome to our channel! Don't worry about your little guy! Funny thing is, our Christian boy couldn't hardly say anything when he turned one and I actually talked to his pediatrician about getting a referral to a speech and language pathologist. We decided to wait until he was 15 months old and watch and see how he developed over the next 3 months. We changed many of the things we did with him and became more intentional about the way we spoke to him and sort of "played with words" with him and he TOOK OFF! We have another video on 10 easy things you can do at home to create a rich language environment for your developing toddler if you are interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/loabzsydp5XLpZs.html I'm sure your little guy is doing so many great things Mama!

Welcome to our channel! Yes, our son's speech is very developed and we intentionally work with him on it quite a bit! These video are made to address developmental milestones and activities to help your child meet those milestones for a typical 18 month old child. Every child is going to have strengths and weaknesses across every developmental domain (Christian included)! Where he is at developmentally in each of these areas is more of a personal application from his engagement in these activities so we try our best to leave out the personal application and focus on the age appropriate developmental milestones and activities (: We hope you enjoy doing these activities with your child as you help them to learn and grow!

Damn shame, smh!

As the eldest of 5 kids, a day camp/nursery counselor, and now with 2 kids of my own; I would say that this kid is hyper advanced for 18 months. And as a parent watching a video like this you might feel discouraged or even feel like you’re failing as a parent. Please don’t. That said it’s all great advice and good milestones for a toddler but not necessarily all of them to be hit at 18 months. I seriously almost lost it when I thought they said potty trained at 18mo. There are kids that really struggle in that dept and might not get there even by 4 even yrs old or more still wearing a pull up. Again good guidance and ideas but don’t think all of these need to be hit at 18 months.

This videos are really helpful for me, as English is not our family first language but we are trying to raise a bilingual child, Italian and English, it really helps to hear what you say in everyday situatios and real life, I can speak a good grown-up English but sometimes when talking with my child I feel a bit "stiff". Thanks ❤

Great examples to practice on! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

this helped me realize how much quality time I should spend with my 18 month old... he is such a smart boy I see it and don't help him, all I did till now is just tought him how to watch cartoons while im always soo busy with all the housework and everything else...

I am a mother of two and i too had times when i was really stressed, or been distracted with other's needs that i fell into this behavior myself and i was "forgetting" how to find time for my kids, or not having an idea what am i supposed to do better as a mom. All in all, you are doing great and better start working on that behavioral change... things will get fun and fulfilling soon. God bless you

I know it's an old video but it's amazing and so useful! My kiddo is of a similar age and confuses his colours. I'm going to buy those blocks too as they look like fun (although I understand some kiddos take more time to pick up colours and shapes). I think parents today ignore fine motor, social and emotional skills and concentrate too much on the academic side so I'm glad you mentioned activities tp develop each and every aspect ❤️ And you have a smart cookie!

From reading the comments, I'm just not going to watch the video. My 18 month old barely says 2 words. And I constantly compare him to others. The worst part is he doesn't qualify for speech therapy. Your videos are so helpful though but I'm skipping this one to prevent myself from feeling angry 😭

Where did you buy your toys please

People, please don't "work toward" ANY of those things. Your child will learn on their own, if you let them. As a pedagogue and mother all I ask you to do is to observe your child and go along with their interests. Feed into the interest that is already there, provide appropriate activities and your child will thrive. Be careful with all the "GoOd JoB"s and so on. They will end up in your child depending on your validation of what they're doing all the time, instead of letting them have their own pride in what they accomplish. Let them develop intrinsical (their own) motivation to do stuff, instead of only enjoying to do things, if they get a "GoOd JoB" for it (extrinsical motivation). Just say what you observe, like "Oh, you put the ball into the cup". Also don't provide them with all the solutions, or they won't learn how to solve promlems on their own. Like, yeah, the boy now knows how to put toys in a cart to bring them over to the shelve faster. But when in life is he gonna need exactly that skill? Never. If he didn't come up with the idea on his own, he won't be able to transfer the idea over to other, similar situations. So actually he didn't learn anything at all - if anything, an opportunity to learn has been taken away from him. Same with the bouncing ball. A shame, the boy wasn't allowed to figure it out on his own.

Hai.. Very nice video....my 18 month girl baby has over tantrum...how do i controll her

@CarnahanFam

3 жыл бұрын

Hey there! Glad to see you are enjoying our activities we've shared with our 18 month old! As far as tantrums are concerned, there are so many things that can be said about this topic but I'll just share a few here. First it's important to recognize we cannot be in control of their feelings or behavior. They will respond to their stimulus, their environment, the history of what they've known, every little thing comes into play when they react. What's important is that you you control YOUR own behavior and model an appropriate response every time. So first, you'll need to set boundaries and expectations with your daughter and be 100% consistent with following through with those boundaries. My next piece of advice would be to model the appropriate response. So if your kiddo is upset about needing to cleaning up, you might say "I see you are feeling sad. Playing with your toys is so much fun! We can play with toys again (tomorrow, after dinner, etc.). Mama said that it is time to clean up so it is time to put our toys away. Say, "yes Mama" (yes mama). Thank you. I would love to help you clean up. Do you want to clean up the blocks or the balls?" This example shows many skills: 1) Acknowledging your child's feelings 2) Setting the expectation 3) Modeling the appropriate response 4) Helping your child to navigate the request/emotions 5) Giving them a choice on how to move forward I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions! ❤️Thanks for being here with us!

this is not an educational video. do not watch it as so, nor should you compare your child's development to what you see above. If you have questions about baby or toddler's motor development, consult with a family doctor, a pediatric physio or even a government website on child development. There is a high amount of variability in how children develop and achieving milestones early or late on their own is in not indicative of how your child will function at a more mature stage. That being said, there's lots of positives in the video and great ideas for interaction with your child, but please do not use this as for comparison purposes.

Ok

A lot of comments saying this is “very advanced” speech for an 18 month old. It’s actually fairly typical (although on the upper side of average). A lot of guidance says a child should be speaking 20 words at this age. That’s actually a minimum - less than that means it’s time to keep an eye out for speech and language delays. At 18 months: 95% of children can say 6 words 50% Can say 50 words 25% Can say 170 words 5% have 210 - 250 words For something to count as a word it must be said spontaneously (ie it can’t be said immediately after the adult has just said it otherwise that’s just mimicking which most 18 month olds could probably mimic every word you say and often will repeat the last word of each sentence you say to them).

@peterwestman8402

The 18 month ASQ specifically states 8 or more words. Stating they should be speaking a minimum of 20 can scare parents when there may not be a need to worry yet. With that being said, activities to help encourage development of vocabulary are very important.
