Ajani is now 2 years old and I decided to see where he is developmentally based on the test they give 2 year olds when you want to enroll them in school.
Save this information it will help you to know some things you should work on before your baby turns 24 months old. Yes I said a test... this is what helps the experts determine if your 2 year old is "behind". We've posted other blogs about your infant/toddler being behind but now you will have more concrete examples as to what we've been speaking about (and the reason we created this blog for parents).
1- Able to identify body parts: mouth, feet, ears, head, arms, tongue etc. (they don't need to know all of them but they should be able to identify at least 4).
2- Gross motor skills: Able to walk backwards 4 steps; Able to jump off the floor with both feet (it doesn't have to be high); Able to stand on 1 foot (balancing is also contacted to a section of the brain. They don't have to stand on 1 foot for long)
3- Picture vocabulary: She is able to recognize and name pictures: examples--apple, cat, dog, hat, airplane, key, car
4- Identifies people in picture naming: man (father, dad, daddy, papa, gentleman); girl (sister or daughter); woman (mother, mom, mommy, mamma, lady); boy (brother or son)
5-Knows use of objects: car, bed, chair
6- Visual motor skills: She is able to stroke or scribble with a crayon (this is why we said it is important to provide her with her own little notebook she can access at anytime to practice writing. It also helps her to strengthen the muscles in her fingers); There is a point system for being able to write well controlled and frequently lose contact with the paper OR well controlled and seldom lose contact with the paper.
7- Verbal fluency: She is able to use 2 words that relate in combination for example ???; At least 1/2 of her speech is coherent for example can clearly say a phrase; She is able to use 3 words that related in combination for example??? I can see
