17 MONTH OLD DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES | Research-Based Milestones for Your Toddler

[@aishajalilansari]

My son will be 17 mo tomorrow. And he is already doing almost everything I’m sooooooooo happy 💃🏻

[@AprilT72]

I love these videos but they always make me feel bad because my lo isn't doing any of the verbal or personal social milestones, she's great with fine and gross motor skills.

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Make sure you score it! I was always worried too but the cutoff scores mean that not doing some things is OKAY! Don’t feel bad. Every child is different and anecdotally I find some kind of focus toward communication or gross motor in bursts.

It's okay mine doesn't talk neither 😭😭

[@AprilT72]

@@julievelasquez5805 mine says around 10 words but only 4 consistently. She doesn't not follow instructions, she'll copy actions but only simple things like clapping or waving.

@@julievelasquez5805 hi when did your start talking my 16 month old doesn’t use words besides mama every blue moon..

[@raeshekaantwine8507]

My child is not either

[@SilviaGarcia-ig1yv]

I love your vídeos just wanted to add a few more things. For resolving a problem a child can use an adult to get help and accomplish what she/he wants to do. The adult should ask, how can I help you? Allowing the child to point or express her/his idea.

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

I love that idea!! What a great one!

[@LaniJeb96960]

My 17 mo dosent do anything but build blocks. If i gave him a marker to draw he will eat it.

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Building is great! Celebrate his strengths and work on areas where you can. If you need, talk to your pediatrician about interventions. They help a lot!

I love your channel over ALL others... can you link products like the funiture behind you, organization ideas and products both qaulity and budget freindly dupes and please can u make some Skills play videos with links. Maybe connection and comforting tantrums.. the way you explain and dont use the dramatic busy flashy stuff other channels do.

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

You’re so sweet and thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I can definitely link my own organization materials, which are all budget friendly! I also hope to do many activity based play videos with my toddler once my younger one is sleeping through the night again. 😂 The four month regression is brutal! I really appreciate you watching and your kind comments. My goal is to educate and empower and I’m so happy you are finding that here!

[@naturehealseverything8269]

My child is just 17 year's old ..it doesn't have all such skills except few....even he don't eat easily by someone and don't speak mamma or any word...what should I do

[@karashaw7606]

My issue is talking

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Animal sounds count, too! Those were some of the first ones my daughters did with regularity!

[@cocodecoko5730]

Super helpful! Thank you

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Happy to help! ☺️

[@chanelbag2500]

I am so behind

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Score each section and add up the total. You might not be as behind as you think; most kids this age cannot do ALL of them yet!

[@karashaw7606]

That’s how I feel and it scares me

[@the_isisnicole]

How cool! I was curious what other parents have experienced with their lo at 17month! My family is planning our first big international trip and this is an exciting preview!

[@Researchonly88]

You are an absolute gem! 💎 thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

Of course!! :)

[@dawnanderson4967]

I’ve noticed that so many parents do not ask their child to say please or thank you. They just stuff food in their mouth, hand them things and you can hear the child just grunting. 😕

[@neuroticgypsy]

Your daughter is Asian - come on they are brilliant

[@MamaRizo]

My sweet girl just turned 17 months on the 21st and I'm in tears almost every day. She refuses to walk by herself and needs support walking . I encourage her different ways, but she refuses. And she hasn't talked yet. She babbles a lot though. She likes to play alone and hates when I try to play with her. She doesn't make eye contact with me most of the time and doesn't respond to her name 99 percent of the time. She doesn't point at what she wants and hardly points at all.I'm a first time mom and I get so discouraged. Any suggestions??

[@GinnyBeeEdD]

I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time! Especially as a first time mom, it’s hard to know what’s “normal.” Walking is such a large window, so don’t be discouraged yet! I would definitely bring up your concerns at your 18 month appointment and see if your pediatrician believes you need a referral! You are being proactive so you are clearly a great parent who cares about their daughter!

[@Researchonly88]

My little one had been doing PT since he’s 10 months old and he only walked with 17 months old after getting braces (orthotics). But he literally walked the third day after starting wearing those. He really needed extra support. I hope you find what she needs 🌻

[@dawnanderson4967]

She’s Autistic.

[@Suddenmindfulness]

These are possible signs of autism, which is not a bad thing, just something that needs adaptation! I would go to her pediatrician and get an evaluation. Much love to you and your little one.

[@queensmith2469]

Hi how is your daughter now? My son is almost 17 months and doesn’t use words I am working with him but wondering when he will start talking

[@amberlysoto]

My daughter is 15 months old and I wanted to see what I should practice with her. She is already doing most of these ❤ So awesome
