Do I have a weird kid? Moms of 18-month-olds?

It sounds like she's intellectually advanced and bored out of her mind. If she likes adult (mature) shows then let her watch some educational shows or game shows.

Every kid is different. I would ask your doctor, and see if she needs evaluated. It would be a good idea, and then if she fine, it will put your mind at ease. If there is anything wrong with her, it is the best to catch it early. Early intervention is key to success.

If you think she has too many toys, take some away and put them up. Maybe leave like 5 toys out for her, and thats it. Maybe try not going to her to play. Just start playing with a toy, and see if she wants to come and join. Sit and read a book outloud, and see if she becomes interested. Dont try to make her do it, just do it yourself and see if she becomes interested.

When you yourself have an issue to supporting your child that has trouble reading, no matter what era she\he this program is things you need, Children Learning Reading from here https://tr.im/mFcrw .

Children Learning Reading is distinctive from different applications since it does not rely on training words by sight, a technique that utilizes kiddies recognizing and memorizing phrases by their content and structure. You might have seen (or even purchased!) courses that promote full word acceptance learning, these courses frequently require you to remain your child facing a television or computer check for a significant timeframe in order for them to understand words which will allow them to start their studying journey.

With Children Learning Reading your child can just need to invest 5\15 minutes at day and he\she may discover ways to build the phrase making the complete process of understanding how to see much more effectively.

I think that she is probably just being a typical 18 month old. Don't worry. She is still really a baby herself, and all kids mature at different times. She could just be testing you with a new baby around, maybe she thinks that she is not getting enough attention, or that is just her personality. I have 3 kids and let me tell you they are all like night and day. My first one was and is a breeze compared to my second. I think for as hard as it maybe, just try and relax, and hopefully as the next 6 months go by, she will change some of her habits. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Hopefully he or she would give you the best information on your situation.

What Izzy said is also what I think the answer is. When reading your story I also thought it may be a form of Asberger's Syndrome.

Watch the movie Temple Grandin, also on youtube Asperger's Documentary - My Crazy Life 1 through 3. It could help you have a better understanding....you may also want to ask your doctor.

I have a 19 month old. To answer your question, yes your daughter sounds highly unusual to me. I get the impression of a little girl who doesn't want to be (or doesn't know how to be) 'on the same page' as others. There are a few reasons I say this.

I don't think your 'too many toys' explanation (in itself) is the reason your daughter is like this. My 19 month old son has a huge number of toys in every room yet he is still extremely interactive. He is also smart like your daughter, but his behaviour is sort of 'opposite' to your daughter's in that he likes to ask questions, show us stuff , share his new discoveries and work out how to use things 'properly'.

You say that your daughter doesn't avoid eye contact. When you write: "She would rather play by herself than with me, especially when toys are involved" - do you think that could be avoiding eye contact?

You said that your daughter hits her toys together. My son sometimes doesn't use toys for their 'normal' purpose either. For example, he will get a round block and pretend that it is a space rocket and he is blasting off to the moon in it. He does not ever randomly hit the toys together.

Your daughter may still be within "normal" limits as she is still only 18 months old. I would focus on playing interactive, taking turns type of games with her and just focus on connecting with her and watch her very carefully.

Also, although your little girl could be angry and acting out because of the new baby, it may not necessarily be the reason for her underlying behaviour.

SUGGESTION: you might be able to have a heart-to-heart with your friend, the one who brought her daughter over? Ask her whether she thinks you daughter is unusal.

Edit: Just in response to ISIS - if the little girl has a lot of toys and an ability to communicate, then I doubt she is really bored out of her mind. She may be intellectually advanced, BUT NORMALLY, INTELLECTUALLY ADVANCED KIDS DO NOT ACT LIKE THIS FOR NO REASON. Usually they are highly constructive and find somewhere to engage their mind. For example, my 19 month old son learnt to say his alphabet, learned to recognise each letter, and is now learning phonics and will go around finding words on things around the house and spelling out each word and trying to sound it out. He ASKS us to teach him and expose him to new things he picks up on. NOW, if we stopped giving him attention and playing with him then he would probably start channelling his energy into god knows what. There is more going on here than boredom.

I have Asperger's syndrome and that sounds exactly like me as a little child.

Asperger's is not like autism where the child is behind in things and actually the vast majority of people I have met with this disorder are advanced educationally speaking. People with Asperger's tend to be behind emotionally and/or socially.

You are not obsessing, you are a great mama who is attentive to her daughter and noticed something odd. Great way to catch things like this early and get help sooner!!

Nothing is wrong with her at all its because she wants to act like a grown up give her an old cell phone he will play with it take her to get her nails painted or sumthing or have her ''cook'' dinner like pretend or have tea

This is something that a specialist needs to evaluate. Don't get offended but I'd think she has a learning disorder or some form of Autism.

Just because they have a form of Autism or a learning disability doesn't make them stupid. Kids with those disabilities are often very smart. Sometimes smarter than their peers.

Not all of that is normal. I have 3 normal kids and one with aspergers syndrome, which is a form of autism. He acted just like that when he was little.
