Because I don’t need to be part of every memory. When she is old enough to go to her own raves and music festivals, as she hears her favourite bands belt out the latest youth anthem, the last person she will think of is her mum.Īnd that is perfectly fine. Of course, I know I will probably be the only one between us who will remember our first rave together. And although the baby rave was originally meant to be a one-off event, the organisers decided to bring it back in December this year, as well as in 2024 due to popular demand. The other parents and kids also enjoyed it. And when we left the club and stepped into the bright afternoon sun, my daughter told me that she had enjoyed our date too. We did not dance that much, but we shared a moment together. Hopefully it's at least long and somewhat useful.After I let go of the expectation of how a rave should go, I whispered to my daughter, “Let’s just do our own thing and pretend no one else is here”. So your DS sounds in the usual range, and like he's engaging and communicating in lots of other ways as well. So some babies are pointing at 12 months, for most it seems to emerge between 12-15 months, and I don't think it's considered 'late' until 18 months. In terms of age when starting pointing, that's the very last question on that section of the 12 month questionnaire, and the way the scoring works, they never expect 6 out 6 yeses in a section to be in the 'development appears on track' range (actually 3 yes and 1 sometimes are enough in that particular one). Either way, he's communicating his wants and needs to you and also communicating just because he wants to share something with you (bringing you things and pointing at things that interest him). Most will also point when they want something they can't reach, but his whole-handed reaching may turn into that.or he may just go straight to saying what he wants. Pointing a few times a day and following your point 9/10 times shows that, developmentally, he's definitely got all of the above. And then there's the added factor of wanting to share the experience with you – they don't need help with something, they just want you to see it too! Then they have to realise that they can deliberately get you to focus on the same thing they are, by pointing (or by saying 'bus!', which is why pointing reduces as speech increases). Then they have to realise that you don't automatically know what they're thinking – you haven't necessarily seen the big exciting bus over there. Firstly, to follow a point, they have to understand to look where the finger is pointing, not at the finger itself. So the reason pointing is a bit of a special gesture because what it shows is actually quite complex mentally. The only reason I’m so concerned about it is because we went for his 12m review ( at 13m as it was late ) and the health visitor mentioned about him not pointing but he passed all other questions on the form just not that one, she said she will give a call in a couple months time so should be soon and it made me go down a bit of a rabbit hole with pointing! Today he’s pointed once at a ball on the floor at my sisters house he never seems to point to things in the park like birds or dogs. He’s once pointed at his bubble machine on the windowsill and said bubblesįamily party on Saturday he was pointing like crazy at things disco ball the lights etc there was a lot going on and he was pointing like madīut that’s basically it at home he will do it once or twice sometimes not at all. If we go to the supermarket or toy shop he will point to balls etc and shout ball ball ball or point at a car or something. Now At 15mo he’s started pointing at other things but he will only do it a couple times a day if that. My DS is 15mo and been pointing to things in books from about 12mo to body parts form about 14mo.
