my almost 10mo ds does not show any iterest in clapping his hands. He likes when I do it but as soon as I try to show him how, he looses interest. What other exercises can I do with him to promote this kind of motor skills? TIA! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

many don't do this till around 12 mo...they just "get it". just keep clapping in front of him, it's all about modeling behavior....and I used to hate when people said this to me but ya gotta relax about this stuff [ Reply | More

I am already relaxed about the fact that my #2 will be a late talker but I want him to be adequately developed in other areas... [ Reply | More
