Devleopmentally normal or not?

It's funny because with the little one I have, I wouldn't even dream of giving him a choice or really asking him much of anything as he just looks at me blankly...it's like talking to a 12 month old...you talk, but you don't expect any particular kind of response. He is really sweet and everybody loves him because he is so gentle and kind, but really he just does his own thing in his own way and in my mind I put him in with the two 13 month olds I have in care. It avoids frustration at him not being able to do things. Maybe it's wrong to think like this, but I can only push him so much.

That's how I feel about my 2 year old boy, he's more like the 15 month old baby, while I consider the almost 2 year old girl one of the big kids. It's the difference in their motor skill abilities and comprehension skills, not necessarily their language skills.

I keep trying to give my little guy choices and asking him questions to try to help him learn to answer a question and understand talking with others and not just AT others. That's the problem he has with the other children. He's in their space and takes their toys, but not to be mean, her really doesn't understand socialization. He is a sweetie and sounds a lot like your little guy. It sounds like we have similar days!
