Reflections

Katie • ...

I read somewhere about milestones and that until a child is 21 months they don’t recognise their reflection as theirs. So I thought I’d do the test to see.

Basically you put a colour on the end of the nose and put them in front of a mirror and see if they touch their nose or the mirror.

My sons 19 months old and he touched his nose. But the funniest is that he now stands in front of the mirror and wipes his face if it’s dirty!

Has anyone else tried this on their toddlers? Did they touch their nose or the mirror?
