my son is 15 months old and i have noticed lately that he likes to put caps on bottles and covers on bowls or other containers a lot.
also iv noticed he hates cold food in his mouth or cold water, he wont eat ice cream.
he also likes closing doors all the time.
when he wants to go places he brings his diaper bag and his shoes to me and he will also bring my shoes to me.
he likes putting objects where they belong, and gets upset if he can’t do it because somethings blocking him from doing it.
at his grandparents house there are two lights switched controlling one light my father covered one with his hand so my son went right to the other one to turn it on.
he may be compulsive or it maybe a phase just watch to see if he out grows it
Sounds like a curious and exploring toddler to me. I wonder why you would even question this behavior??
That is ABSOLUTELY normal behavior for a toddler! Sounds like you have a very curious and smart little guy on your hands! Congratulations! My son is the same way! Except the ice cream- he LOVES it. Maybe your son is getting ready to cut some more teeth and his gums are sensitive?
this is very NORMAL, what are you thinking?
It’s normal behavior, he is just learning to do things that he see’s other people doing.
I would bring him to a pediatrician or a child psychologist. It may be OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), so please hurry.
this is completely normal, he is most likely watching you and family members. that’s how they learn. At one my oldest would walk around and clean up his toys and put the lids on the bottles, and try to match the proper tupper ware container with the right lid. I now have a 1 year old, who will take all the toys out of the toy box and when you look at him and say clean up he puts them all back. They learn from parents. So keep up the good work and you will have a handy helper at your side. As for cold foods, it may just be he now realizes they are cold, now he’s learning feelings, hot cold what once may have felt nice on teething gums may ache because their sensitive. Good luck
Sounds like a very bright child, who knows exactly what he wants. If a child has a problem, such as autism, g-d forbid, he doesn’t know how to communicate with you, but bringing you shoes and a diaper bag when he wants to go out if definitely communication…and good one at that. Some kids just really know what they want at that age… I think he’s fine.
I nannied a boy, same age, who did exactly the same thing! He’s line up all his toys that were the same…all his cars in one line, all his bears in another etc. & he loved sorting out parts of his bottle! Doors had to be closed. As soon as we walked into the house he’d be saying “shooooes” and “coat!” and pulling at them on me implying they had to come off now we were inside. He was also a very fussy eater when it came to textures. When he had his nappy (diaper) changed and it was put in the bag, he’d take it from me and put it by the door to go in the outside bin. & he hated having the tiniest bit of dirt on his hands!
We just came to the conclusion that it was funny, and possibly a form of OCD haha. I wouldn’t worry…it shows he understands how things work, what should happen when…signs of a good memory, fast learner…
Maybe weird, but special!
normal
