27 Months

I teach kindergarten, some kids can count to 20 when they start K, others learn that year. I don't know who learned it at 27 months and who learned it right before kindergarten started! Those who learned counting at two are not doing advanced math at 3 and a half. Those who learned half way thru kindergarten are just fine. Vocabulary and conversation are more important!

My son is about to be 24 months in three weeks and shows absolutely zero interest in counting or ABCs.... he is just so into sports and jumping and being active... maybe she is just not that interested right now.
Just count whenever you can out loud, like counting the food items you give her, counting steps, or books you get at the library. She will catch on!

Ex first grade teacher here. Your daughter is completely if not ahead of, age development ready. She probably does it by rote and when prompted. Don't worry and don't push it. She will do what she does when she is ready for it and only then. If you push it she and you will become anxious and worried.

Not good for either of you. You have plenty of time for her to be ready for kindergarten and county.

You can expose her to county books and sesame street for FUN, but relax and have fun with her. Fun increases learning----stress does not.

You just need to work with her. Repetition is the key. I read stories to my daughter all the time about the alphabet and numbers and just about everything under the sun. I am lucky enough to be a SAHM and am able to do all this with her all day long but she learned her letters and numbers very early on just by working at them. She will soon be 19 months and knows the alphabet and her numbers from 1 to 10
Good Luck

All children learn those things in time- some quicker than others.

If you teach only what you know they know then you don't challenge them.
Challenging to to reach beyond their easy skills helps build confidence and
encourages couriosity about the world around them.

I find just counting out objects as you go to use them- like crayons, or counting stairs as you take them. You could also count out treats, or
any other number of things. Start singing the ABC song to her- and do it over and over and over again day after day- she'll catch on. You can also get ABC flash cards to use for visual identification of letters.

Best wishes-

My guy is 27 months as well and can count to 13 on his own, because her learned from the Count on Sesame Street, lol! I do count things out with him, like Cheerios, or his fingers and toes, but haven't actively pursued it.

We haven't really worked on ABC's yet, but he's learning how to spell his name from his pal, Scout, one of his learning toys. He has other learning toys that teach numbers and letters, too, but I love what Sandy L. said and agree totally with her, the vocabulary and conversation are more important, the counting and ABC's will come. After all, there has to be something to learn in preschool! ; )

Uh... I'd stay away from the music class.

My youngest is just a little younger than yours with no concept of numbers and can't even say many numbers. And she's developmentally "normal". My older is particularly verbal and always has been and didn't start counting until closer to 3.

We've taught numbers just in our normal course of life. There's two shoes on the floor, five fingers on each hand, one dog, three fish, 6 pieces of mail etc. It's worked well up to 10. Once we got those down well, then we started paying more attention and talking about higher numbers. Once she understood the numbers to 20, she seemed to just "get" the numbers. Before she turned 4 she independently counted to 60 some before she got bored with it. :)

If you start counting more, then she will too. Count everything, snaps on pjs, steps you go up or down, etc. We like to play 1 2 3 Weee (lift them up between two people as you are walking)- we altered this a bit and my dd counted 1 2 3 (lift), we counted 4 5 6 (lift), 7 8 9 (lift), etc. This got into counting higher and also multiples of 3 - which they are way too young to really understand, but it did help her later when learning to add and count by 2's, 5's, etc. We often switched up the number in which we lifted to see if she got a pattern. She often could.

Just go for it, count spots on a ladybug in a book, read counting books, etc. But, main thing is to have fun and make sure it is fun for her.

Do similar things with the alphabet. Look for things around you that start with a letter and name them for her and then challenge her to see if she can find something. And read, read, read.
