[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 year old can do the entire list. It is possible, Posters. She has two older brothers and simply watched them. I really wonder why more parents don't encourage skills like this. [/quote] Sounds like the older brothers encouraged your 2.5, not the parent. [/quote] +1 It's pretty common for kids with older siblings to master some of these skills earlier than kids without. And kids are all over the map at this age in terms of gross and fine motor skills (along with other developmental milestones). It's fine to have guidelines, but there just aren't hard and fast rules. We worked on several self-care skills with our kids, but maybe not the same ones that other parents choose to focus on, and the kids mastered the skills at different times. [/quote]
