Can’t do a thumbs up

My youngest son watched ms Rachel for the first time the other day and my eldest born in Feb 23’ couldn’t do a thumbs up, is this normal for this age? He is on track with everything else like speech and physical development but it’s unusual for him to not know something. Is it normal to not know how to do it at this age?

My daughter can’t do it either, she just sticks her index finger up. I think it’s pretty normal, they’ll get there ☺️

@Hayley my son does the exact same! I found it cute because he thinks he is doing it 😂

My son can do thumbs up but I don’t really think it’s a major thing

My daughter does her index finger too 😆 it’s not something I’ve attempted to teach her though and I literally never do thumbs ups so im not surprised she can’t since she never sees it! Also I highly recommend ms apple she’s like the uk version of ms rachel :)

@Lauryne we do put ms apple on sometimes she’s more calm!

@Nicole Yeah I find ms Rachel so overstimulating!😅

My daughter doesn't do thumbs up either, they'll get it eventually

@Kayleigh Hayward I’m glad it’s not just my son then, seems fairly common!

@Allie I love this 😂😂

Mine is the same with the index finger up! 🤣 never thought too much about it, I just thought it was funny!

@Maria I love seeing it 😂

I haven’t even thought about thumbs up so no idea if she can do it or not, but i’m assuming not as we don’t model it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mine doesn’t do it either! But her best friend does! My other half’s been trying to get her to do it for MONTHS 😅

I tried this evening to see what she would do and she immediately put up her index finger 😂

We are on holiday and everyone is giving my LB high fives and then trying to do thumbs up. He can't do it and it has really confused him, so trying to do Index fingers x
