Can your 3 year old count? EDIT

[Anonymous]

and if so to what number?  (I am talking 3 as just turned 3)

** Thank you Ladies, My daughter is speech delayed, she is doing great now and is talking in 2-3 word sentences, but people who are not around her all the time only understand about 10% of what she is saying. She is now in a developmental preschool, I guess I was just so worried about her speech that I never realized until now that she can not count or recognise her letters. She has been tested and is cognitively at a 4 1/2 year old level (Meaning she understands what they expect a 4 1/2 year old to understand) she just can not count objects or even by rote, and does not recognise any of her letters or numbers. I will have to talk to her teacher or Pediatrician about it this week.

My just turned 2 yr old counts to 11

When he was 2 1/2 he could count to 12, the teens threw him off. You just have to work with them.

Yes. They could count to 20 by the time they turned 3 and to 100 by the time they turned 4.

Quoting TiffanyRose06:

Count things or just sit there and count up?

Yes. He and my 2 year old both count to ten. We are working on the alphabet now, will go back to numbers and try getting to 20 next week.

DD learned the alphabet from a YouTube video. Phonics song 2. Catchy song.

eleventeen..... lol she turned 3 on 9/8

I don't remember how high he was counting right at 3, but by 3 1/2 he was counting forwards and backwards to 100 and counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. He's crazy about numbers. My 2-year-old can count to 20 and isn't nearly as interested in numbers as her brother.

20 then she would get confused. She's 4 now and counts to 60

My don is 3 1/2 and he can count to 15
