My lively lovely dd is almost two. She has good language , loves children and anything that involves being outside - running climbing etc. But - she can't do peg puzzles and is not really bothered about building brick towers. My eldest did all that stuff really early.
DD 2 will try a peg puzzle but gets very frustrated if the pieces don't fit in straight away. If you hand her a few blocks and ask her to build a tower she will but usually gives up after three blocks.
The reason I am stressing about this is because I know that this is something they test for a two year check - something that has actually been cancelled around here but knowing that she should be doing these things and isn't is really worrying me, especially as a "friend" told me that this could be a sign of autism?
She -(dd2 - not the "friend")likes to play with dolls ,feeding them and putting them to bed and taking them for walks in her buggy - and she loves painting drawing and messy play - sand , water, etc. But she is more of a flitter than dd1 and does not have a very long concentration span.
Am I worrying needlessly? I am not a competetive mum so if it is ok not to be interested in certain things yet, I will just chill about it!
