Cool. My 15 month old can’t walk or talk. He just wants to put EVERYTHING in his mouth.

[@denisekohlmann9234]

I have a second daughter who’s almost one now (I’m waaaay behind in video editing) and she is also still putting evvvvverything in her mouth too. Lol Every kid is so different! ❤️

[@Lilaliba88]

It's normal, especially boys learn to speak and sometimes to walk later. I could only walk at around 15 months and talk when I was almost 3, but suddenly fluently and with no pronunciation problems. And despite these delays I was never ever behind at school, quite the contrary. How is he now?

[@justmyluck1890]

@@Lilaliba88 he’s now 17 months and we found out he has a rare genetic disorder. He’s still not walking or talking. Maybe one day though. ☹️

Thank you!!

I really want to teach my daughter the matching skills and how to pick up toys after she dumps them all out. I need all the tips I can get!

[@denisekohlmann9234]

I like to use modeling and fun for these things. ☺️ If you show them how to do something and then let them consistently see you doing this, eventually they will start doing it too. Toddlers have a very strong sense of order so if you’re constantly modeling for them where things belong and putting things away, eventually they’ll follow suit. So when they’re really little, you model for them. When they get a bit older and are able to follow one or two command sentences, you can ask them to grab a specific item to put away. Then, you can start asking them to help you. And later, you can remind them to put something away as you see them move from one toy to another. That said, I think I need to follow my own advice because I’ve definitely let life get in the way of my consistency and am now struggling to get both my girls (I have two now) to clean up on their own. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Also, with cleaning, I find that I have more success when making things fun. So try making a game out of it. For matching, I suggest pointing to one object and then pointing to an identical object and say they match. Any opportunity you find to match something, label it that way for them. For example, when getting ready, you can say, “look, it’s the matching sock,”or “here’s the matching shoe.” At lunch you could say, “ look, I have two grapes. They match.” The more often they hear this type of comparison from you, the quicker they’ll pick up on the concept and be able to start matching. I’d also start with identical objects first, and then once they start to understand that you can move on to matching 2D to 3D objects. Hope this helps! ☺️

[@denisekohlmann9234]

Kids really do get to live the best lives, don’t they? I think that’s why I have so many happy memories of my childhood. ☺️

Hello! I recently found your channel and I’m obsessed! ♥️ I was wondering if you could make a video on tips on how you got her to crawl and talk early? And how you went about blw? Thank you so much.

[@denisekohlmann9234]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying my content. I'd love to make a video on developmental milestones and BLW, I just don't feel qualified to advise on such topics at this time. In the meantime, there are some great KZbin channels I can recommend to you that cover these subjects. "Learn with Adrienne" is a great channel for speech development (she is a Pediatric Speech Language Pathologist) and "The Carnahan Family" covers developmental milestones. For BLW, I read the book, "Baby-Led Weaning: Helping Your Baby to Love Good Food "by Gill Rapley. I also referred to a Facebook group I'm in called "Baby Led Weaning for Beginners and Beyond (BLWBB)." Both are really great resources and have guides to help you know how to cut foods appropriately for your child. I liked the Facebook group too because if you have any questions you can ask them directly on their forum that is moderated by people who are very knowledgable on BLW. Some quick tips from me are to help your child to practice, practice, practice! For example: - For speech: narrate everything you do for your child as you go about your day and read lots of books to him/her and point out things in the pictures and name them. - For gross motor (and other) skills: observe your child and give him/her every opportunity to work on whatever skill they are engrossed in at the moment - so for crawling, give them lots of time to work on that skill by giving them free range of motion and keeping them out of carriers, enclosures, and jumpers as much as possible, under supervision and in baby-proofed rooms. - For BLW - have lots of patience and embrace the mess! The more opportunity they have to get their hands dirty, the faster they'll get proficient and understand how to manipulate food/drink to get it in their mouths. Lastly, if you have any concerns about your child's development, I would suggest to speak to your child's pediatrician. You can also refer to the CDC's developmental milestone guide to see if your child is on track and look into early intervention services if you think your child may need some assistance (www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/parents/states.html).
