[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many posts like this?  Are parents worried about their children's achievement?  Maybe I'm misreading this, but it seems like a lot of DCUM parents are concerned about their child doing things "on time."  Every kid is different!  He or she will be fine!  [/quote]

I am the OP. My child was a preemie and does a NICU follow-along clinic. At the clinic, this is something that is watched. I was surprised by the age range they suggested for these "skills" and wanted to see how the general DCUM population stacked up. It confirmedu suspicion that this crowd reports a much earlier time frame. [/quote]

But OP, you do realize a question like this is going to disproportionately attract answers from people whose kids did it early. I have an 18 month old and a 3 year old. I've known a lot of kids. I've never met an 18 month old who could do this. Of course I know there are some but it is not nearly as common as these answers would suggest. Most 18 month olds aren't even stringing words together or if they are they e just started. [/quote]
