This bothers me a lot. They've been that way with Emma since she was tiny. Do they ever sit and just talk to the child? Talk about colors...and play with the blocks. I used to make a game out of folding laundry with my grandkids. Ok....so it's not perfect. The point is they'd sit with me and try and mimic my folding then tossing whatever they had in the basket. I'd thank them and praise the boys to the stars for being big helper boys!! Children love to please you, so let them!!

I agree, she can do much more than the footsie games like the one in this gif. Assuming she’s neurotypical, she can start learning 1 and maybe 2-step commands. Just little tasks, like “bring [whatever toy] to Mommy”, or she can help with laundry. Show her the buttons on the washer/dryer and let her push them with help, or stand her by the dryer and give her small clothing items to put inside, maybe a dryer sheet at the end. Her help will make tasks longer than shorter, obviously, but she’s learning so much. I provided those specific examples because my son was doing these around 13-14 months. He is two and a late talker, so even if Emma is as well, she can still understand language and carry out simple commands.
