>> Hi group.  I hope you all had a good Christmas.
>> I had a question about toddler development.  My 17 month old got some
>> puzzles for Christmas.  They are for children who are a year and a half 
>> old.
>> They are the ones with the big pieces so they're easy to handle for her. 
>> So
>> far, Mackenzie has always been pretty advanced for her age, she learns
>> pretty quickly.  However, I tried to interest her in putting together a
>> puzzle, and she didn't seem interested.  I took one piece out, and asked 
>> her
>> to put it back, and she either tried to make the piece fit and couldn't, 
>> or
>> she just wasn't interested.
>> She isn't really interested in her shape sorter either.  I think she has
>> mastered the circle, but she doesn't want to play with the other shapes. 
>> Is
>> this developmentally appropriate for her age? How can I get her 
>> interested
>> in these concepts and toys? Mackenzie likes to climb and run, and she 
>> loves
>> her musical toys, but honestly, other than that, she isn't really 
>> interested
>> in toys.  She would rather play with a cell phone or my computer.  Thanks
>> for any advice you have, and I hope all of you have a happy new year.
