I wouldn't be worried about right, she is only 2yo. But it is fun to make them into games. Grub loves the traffic lights, so we have a game when we pull up to the lights and he usually starts it now. eg he asks what does green mean? and I'll say "I don't know, what does green mean?" then he yells out (YES YELLS!!! )

"Green means Go!" and so on for the other colours. He knows what colour the engines are in Thomas the tank shows (he's just a tad bit obsessed). But I've never made it a serious thing, and sometimes he even says the wrong colour just for the heck of it, cos he knows I'll tickle him or chase him or something fun like that!

though i have never seen or heard of a female who is color blind but my father is colour blind... your daughter is only 2yrs old so dont worry she learn them. you can do various activities to help her learn colors. like giving her cards or toys of various colors and let her group them separately or use a chart paper and color pencil to let her draw or keep a chart of  colors and start teaching her.. dont worry she will learn.. its just too early to call her color blind so dont worry and enjoy teaching her.. lol

Maybe get some colour blind pictures. My brother is colour blind. It's made up of dots and various things in side this the circle that the dots consist of, like white dots running in a straight line, and ask her if she can spot the white lines or a line running across the circle. If not, she's colourblind, and like someone said, it's rare for a female to be colourblind as it's mainly in males, but no uncommon for females.

If you go to your local doctor, he'll show you a chart that your child can look at, and get her tested out. GOod luck

Try this little trick to see if she can distiguish the colour. Though not common in girls, it does happen, that they can be colour blind.  Take a bundle of multi coloured, blocks, feathers or plain materiel. Sit with her and make a game of grouping them. Do not name the colours. Firstly put a few blue in a bundle, then red,  then yellow etc. With the remainder ask her to help you put the blocks in the correct pile. It is important you do not name the colours. If she goes to put the wrong colour in a bundle, say in a fun way, Uh oh thats not the same, Lets find the same. When she matches correctly, really praise her, clap your hands, jump up and down and say more, yes. Then try again. Try to make it as fun as possible, spread the piles out round the whole room so she can run to the approprate pile and jump up and down, when she gets it right. If she conistently gets it wrong after a few days. Stop. Go to the doc and ask to have her tested. If she starts to get them right, then start introducing the names and ask her to repeat, the colour back to you. Keep the colour spectrum small. So start with just two easy colours. Red and blue or Green and white. Then add a new colour at the start of a new game. Do not sit at a table, this is not a stationary activity. It is a sequence activity, and children build their Sequential memory through the use of the whole body.

Good luck and best wishes. Winnie.xxx

how long ago have you been working on colors? I introduced colors to my son at about 24 months on and off, and for the longest time  he couldn't get them right. I would ask him what color I was pointing at and he would pause and think and get it wrong. Colors didn't click until about 2 months later. Now, it doens't take him long to learn new colors at 2 1/2 years old.

Color blindness is not very common, but it is passed down from families. Are you or your husband color blind?
