We recently completed the ASQ development survey in our toddler group and, in combination with comments from my my daughters daycare teachers and other random people, I have some questions I prefer to ask "anonymously" versus in person.
My daughter turned 22 months last week so we did the 21m0d to 22m30d questionnaire and she can do everything on the list, out of curiosity we looked at the 24 month and 27 month questionnaires as well and she does everything on the 24 month survey and nearly everything on the 27 month survey as well (ie, she does not even score in the "needs to be watched" borderline area of a typically developing 28.5 year old (27 months goes from 25m16d to 28m15d).
Her daycare teachers have said she's advanced compared to most of he kids in her room, which goes from 18 mos to 2.5 years. Random people comment on how verbal she is, how clever she is, and are always surprised she isn't as old as they think she is.
She's our only child and she seems totally on track to me, but, the purpose of doing the survey in our toddler group was so we would know areas to make sure to support their learning (ie, one girl needs to work on her fine motor, another boy needs to work on communication, etc), but because she got top marks in all areas I don't know what areas to encourage her in.
I don't believe in giftedness in the true sense at this young age but I do want to make sure we are meeting her needs and encouraging her to continue to grow in all areas.
Are there any resources that I should be aware of for toddler age kiddos?
Thanks!
