I haven’t watched Gemma for ages - stopped watching when Noah was about 3 months. I had noted that there seemed something off with Noah - he didn’t respond to Gemma’s voice or watch her. Her holiday blog popped up and so I scanned through it. Noah is nearly two and my word it is so obvious something is wrong. His verbal skills are way behind. But also he hardly ever references Gemma. So when he is interested in something he never brings it to her or points at anything to show her. He never looks excited about anything or engaged with anyone else. He shows so many flags for a developmental delay or neurodiversity of some type. Does she read here? She really needs to get him accessed with the lack of language the most obvious thing.
If the videos she posts are an accurate reflection of what he’s like all the time, they will have a massive shock when they get his 2 year health visitor check ASQ, dependent on the age when doing it, there’s a hell of a lot on there that it seems he really isn’t doing. That will definitely flag up for a referral id suspect. Unless she just plainly lies on the answers.
Its things like:
- Does your child walk up two stairs on their own (can hold the rail)
- Does your child say 2-3 word sentences
- Does your child eat well with a spoon and fork?
- Does your child run and stop themselves well?
