counting to 10...then onwards
Charlotte's been doing this all by herself for a couple of weeks now. She was counting with help for a while and then just does it on her own now.
Now she's mastered it I'm not sure whether we should try and teach her 11-20 or do you think it is too much for now? I don't want to push her but she seems to have mastered 1-10 quite quickly.
She also counts 3-2-1 backwards then shouts "DING" - think it's from the microwave when I heat her milk up at night (for longer than 3 seconds though)!!

He was counting to ten fine and now he goes 1, 6,4,5,3,8 things like that!!
I'm not sure if its dropped out of his head or he's just being awkward and refusing to say his numbers properly!!

Personally I would go 11, 12 next and when she has mastered these go 13 - 20.
I play a little game with Lily using my fingers and saying 'if I have one sheep, and then one more comes along, how many sheep are there?' and she can answer these and finds it fun. I think it's just helping her to grasp what numbers mean.

I think after they can 'count' to 10, you should teach them to actually count things out - that is much harder than getting them to recite numbers 1-10.
