3. Does Not Point at Objects
Early on in a child’s development, they will usually begin to point to objects in order to show interest. They might also reach out toward objects in order to ask for them to be passed.
This is a very rudimentary form of communication and often young infants will build on this in order to begin to communicate in more advanced ways. They are learning here that reaching results in getting what they want, and thus seeing the merits of communication early on. It is important that you work with your child to help them grasp this concept.
Pointing is a behaviour that you should expect to see by around 12 months at the latest.
