Um my son is exactly 1.5YO today. He doesn’t know his shapes and he might know his numbers but I can’t tell. He does all the things your daughter does and I’ve never been concerned as it’s clear he’s still learning
Oh, boy, I love questions like this! Here's some reading material for your husband: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-johnny-name-colors/
Your husband needs to stop comparing, they are their own person, every kid grows differently If something was off the doctor would've mentioned it at the visits. My daughter showed no interest in reading, I thought I did something wrong because I only read to her once in a while, then she turned 2 and out of nowhere she's bringing me books she wants me to read She can count to 10, she doesn't seem to recognize the numbers and has trouble pointing at things and counting and refuses to count any higher than 10, she doesn't know her shapes at all really You aren't doing anything wrong, kids develop differently and he needs to stop comparing like that, if he has a concern he can ask the doctor
3 months is a huge difference at this age. They're not comparable. And as many have said, they all develop at different paces. E.g my daughter communicates really well but didn't walk until she was 20 months old. She's technically "behind" in gross motor but we can see the progress and that's the most important thing. I have a friend with a daughter who is 2 months older, who runs and jumps and does all sorts but doesn't speak anywhere near as much. There will always be things other children do better, just focus on your child and her progress and advise your husband to do the same, she might not notice it now but when she's older it's not going to do her self esteem any favours if daddy is constantly comparing her to others!
Omg yesss to everything everyone else said lol Also my baby went thru a phase a few months back really liking books. (He's 15m old) and now all the sudden its hit or miss 🤷♀️ he will run away or shut the book sometimes lol there's just so many other things to focus on at this age it's hard to sit and be interested sometimes. Babies learn mostly thru play. So just play fun games and get into babies world a little each day. And yep each baby has thier own pace. So don't worry a bit. Both my kids were soo different so far at this age it's night and day
your husband needs to chill. it can be an age difference but it's more likely just a baby difference
