yorkc39`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll My baby is 1 year old, and when I ask her where her nose is, or her ear or tummy, she never points to them, I feel that she knows them, but either she`s stubborn, or she doesn`t understand me when I ask her to point out her body parts, I don`t know. How well can your LO point out their facial/body parts?

My 16 month old only does her head and ears but does MY nose, mouth, and eyes

I would just teach one specific body part until he masters it. say ` show me your eyes` or `where are your eyes`. if he doesnt point to them, do hand over hand and say good job when his hand goes to his eyes. keep repeating it. It will come.

my 13 month old will grab our nose when we ask him where his nose is and sometimes when we ask where is your nose he will point to his ear lol.. we also ask about where his ears are so i guess he can sometimes get confused lol but hes learning =)

My son is 14 months and I know he knows what his body parts are called but he won`t point to them if we ask him to. If I ask him `wheres your nose` he`ll touch my nose and say `beep beep` but that is as close as we get lol! He also refuses to repeat words, even if we ask the ones that he says regularly. It`s probably more a personality thing, than being unable to do it, I suppose.

My son never points to his nose either n that was one of the first body parts I tried to teach him. But he points to his tummy and head and ears. That`s all he knows for now. Just keep showing her and she`ll surprise u one day when u ask her to point. Children learn so fast!

The heads shoulders song is great for learning them the body parts. My DD is 14mths, learnt where her head and ears are through the song. Learnt her nose and eyes as she keeps pointing at mine when i hold her. DH learnt her her tummy by rubbing it and saying mmmm when she trys something new.

Sing the song Head shoulders knees and toes... Hunter loves it and it helped him alot. She still young yet so she should be fine :)

Just keep playing the game- eventually she will love to point to body parts- also, try reading her books that point out the parts as well-

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
