my youngest has a speech therapist also

shes behind

AMERICAAAAA

my oldest is ahead

meh the development at that age is much less important than people think.

My dad recently commented on my use of *fuck* bc he said Xandria would pick it up.... I told him if she did I would be like woooo!!!! Another WORD!!!

It's like how people were told baby formula was just as good as breast milk

if it wasnt a clinical >50% delay I wouldnt be so worried about it

and breastfeeding was actually probably worse.

Meh, I don't have any kids.

Congrats Grandmasterlevel

But I have lots of nieces and nephews

Thanks Pct88

a few of them were considered "behind"

formula is basically all straight sugar, its not good for anyone

almost all of them are fine now.

shes really smart and can repeat words but shes just behind

same with Xandria

I'm just really cynical about a lot of childhood development stuff

Those are cuties!

Like pregnancy issues and neonatal research it's one of the most poorly research parts of health and medicine.

Nobody wants to join a study as a pregnant woman, and nobody wants to put their kids in studies either.

Taking after momma

this is not good, this behavior leads to everything being threadbare

lol

My father and some of my cousins required speech therapy. They are all pretty intelligent. Don't sweat it.

Also you don't want to encourage such crotchety behavior

she really smart, its just communication is frustrating for everyone, her included

I'm not even sure the speach therapy does anything

we suppliment with ASL its been a godsend

I agree

OUr therapist is freaking joke

It's like a lot of early childhood intervention makes no difference by middle school.
