What are your toddlers up too??

have deleted this post due due to peoples negative comments

Edited to remove paragraph about how clever my wee lillibit is, as I don't feel the need to boast.

Every child is different, just because they excell in some areas does not make them a brainiac. My girl struggles with some physical activities that other children her age are great at, and has a few personality quirks that slow her down with interpersonal relationships. My advice would be to look at the whole picture, nourish and nurture her talents, and don't push her into things she may not be ready for just because of how clever you think she is.

I don't find it annoying at all that you shared how well ya wee one is doing... I think it is perfectly natural to wanna share how great ya child is, no matter what it is they excell in... it's much better to focus on all the great things your kids can do than to focus on weaknesses... I don't think people should compare as there is a huge range of development that is perfectly normal but if you're proud of ya wee one what is wrong with sharing that with other mums... I would never ever feel disappointed in my children if they weren't at the same level cos to me they're perfect and brilliant...

thanks to those who wrote nice comments :)

was not boasting, was genuinely interested to hear from other mothers on what their toddlers were up too.

regarding this:

As others probably think, each child is different and special in their own way. Some might excel at physical activies and still be a little behind the 'norm' in fine motor skills or knowing their colours, and some might be really clever with words, colours, drawing etc, but can't jump with two feet. This does not make them any smarter/stupider than any other child out there.    And when they get to a certain age, they can all jump, read, write, sing, recognise colours, shapes etc.   Not everyone is good at the same thing and that is just life.

definately was not my intention to think of children as being stupider or smarter than other children.

was just sharing what my little girl was up to, wanting to know what other little ones were up to.

this will be my last post on these forums, shame really.
