I don't get why people do that -it's bonkers!
anyway Rach - finally got my wonder weeks book upstairs while Ollie is napping.
So going by Charlie being 9 mths will look at ww 37 (between 32 and 42 weeks) after this developmental stage skills emerging are (and some will have lots of ticks and some areas may be unticked)
Recognising animals and objects:
shows that can recognise a category eg animals in rl,toys and pictures
shows that he can distinguish shapes
shows that he thinks something is dirty
shows that he thinks something is fun or good by making a characteristic sound or movement
shows that he understands the name of animals or objects (eg will look for it if you ask where it is)
repeats words after you now and then
Recognising people as people
relates more to other people with sounds and gestures
imitates other people more often
clearly wants to play games with people more often
calls family members - each might have their own sound or gesture
recognising people in different circumstances
makes silly faces to his mirror image and laughs
looks at a thing or person in the room and then looks for it or them in the mirror
recognising emotions
shows jealousy when another child gets mummy's attention
comforts a cuddly toy when dropped or thrown
acts extra sweet when wants something
exaggerates mood to let everyone know how he is feeling
starts to cry when he sees another child cry
switching roles
can initiate a game by himself eg peepo
uses bottle to feed mummy
asks mummy to sing a song and claps along
asks to play hide and seek (eg by crawling behind something)
asks to play building blocks by handing you a block
Will do the toys and activities next time
Ollie by no way had everything ticked and the 1st section only 2 were ticked - have loved the ww book - when Ollie is going through a fussy phase we look it up and it is amazing to see him develop!
