Imitation, Pointing & Joint Attention

When my child imitates only certain movements

The very fact that there are movements they can imitate is a great strength. Add a little twist to the movements they're good at (clapping → clapping over the head) to gradually widen their repertoire. Setting it to play or songs your child loves makes new movements easier to imitate too.
