Should a 1st grader?

Question

know how to blow her nose?

My lil sister is in 1st grade and still doesnt know.

I just find this weird. I knew in kindergarden how too. But 1st grade is practally over and she still doesnt know.

Answer 1

yes she should know how..........maybe you can teach her

Answer 2

she should know. its very hard for a little girl who doesn't know how to blow her nose especially when she has colds. teach her how to.

you should teach her with this process here below

Answer 3

well we all devolop at different rates.  I couldnt tie my shoes till i was 8 but i could work a mobile phone when i was 6.

Answer 4

Every one learns at their own pace.  My nephew is two years old and still isn't walking yet and still isn't talking, every child just learns at a different pace, just be patient with her.

Answer 5

go to the doctor

Answer 6

she should know how too=why don't u teach her?

Answer 7

believe me, some children really struggle with this. most people just assume their child knows how to blow their nose, but they really are just chronic wipers. :)

try helping her out. remind her to keep her mouth closed so that she blows out her nose.

also teach her to hold one nostril shut.

i think that some people have a harder time than others with this because of sinus or allergy issues. it has to be something.

good luck. sd

Answer 8

Then show her how and make her do it by herself. I am sure she can grasp blowing her nose. Just don't wipe it for her anymore!

Answer 9

well if she doesnt know how to then maybe you should teach her, but maybe she just doesnt want to because maybe it bothers or hurts her nose. when you said that you knew how to do it in kindergarden, well every kid is different maybe she will learn in 2nd grade, dont worry its normal.

Answer 10

in my opinion yes she should know. This is not like a major problem like "sucking on your thumb or pacifier till you are 7 years old". It wont cause a problem when they are older. i would let her do it because it does not require some kind of "skill"

Answer 11

Yes, she should know. Are you sure that she actually doesn't know how -and isn't just "pulling your leg". My 3 1/2 year old knows how to blow her nose (and my 6 year old definitely knows how).

Answer 12

yes a first grader should know how to blow her nose. teach her how to blow her nose..

Answer 13

just teach her. its not that hard to do. my 5 year olds can blow their nose by themselves and my one year old can somewhat blow her nose

Answer 14

Yes she should know, it is possible your parents are babying her

Answer 15

yes she should

Answer 16

i don think there is an age limit. i didn't blow my nose for years when i wuz little cuz it hurt my ears. turned out i just had ear issues.

Answer 17

If you hold the tissue my 2 year old will blow.

But every kid is different.

Answer 18

Yeah, but it is hard for some kids. I had trouble blowing my nose when i was little, just because it felt funny to me.

Answer 19

yes she should but its not her fault if nobody has tried to help her or if every body just follows her around with a tissue like a baby good for you trying to help her.

Answer 20

yes, she should know. just show or teach her! :)
