[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 18 month old is hitting her milestones waaaay earlier than my 5.5 y.o. did. For example, she can already sound out some letters and scribbles circles and lines intentionally. Her fine motor skills are almost on par with his (she can do 48 piece puzzles and put together Legos, although taking then apart is too hard). My 5 y.o. reads well and is starting to write, in other words I don't think he's slow. Is this normal? Do younger siblings typically learn things faster? She does imitate him a lot and he adores her.[/quote] DCUM will laugh, but she sounds gifted. Five year old sounds average. FWIW my three year old is in OT and PT and has had a very difficult time developing fine and gross motor skills. DD2 is 20 months and jumps on the trampoline like a pro, holds a pencil correctly, etc. Some kids just develop faster than others.[/quote]
