I think her speech is average for a two year old?
Shes not two until July, I think she does really well!
I don’t think that’s average. She’s very good with her speech but some kids just are.
My little boy is way ahead and he is the same age. He can say things like 'Stegosaurus stuck in the mud, helicopter rescue Stegosaurus.' And he knows the whole alphabet, can recognise letters if he sees them and 'read' them out. It's not because of me, although obviously he is my son so I'm very proud of him. I do all the normal things any parent does with their child. He's just been naturally good at that, and less good at other things. I didn't 'make learning more fun' than any other parent, or hold up more flash cards. How insulting it would be for me to suggest that other parents just aren't doing it as well as I am.
him and Charlotte SR would be insufferable if they won... I voted What Mummy Makes, just saying

The issue is not her speech or her intelligence, it's his constant referencing to himself as the main reason for it. It's all about him and the wonderful things he does to make her that way. He coaches her and then shows it off to make himself seem worthy of being lauded as a superior parent, we can all learn from him.
Spot on!! I honestly don’t know why a man who has been a parent for less than 2 years thinks he is so superior to the rest of us at it! Come back with your tips when you’ve gone through terrible twos, school years, teenage issues, young adult etc.
I wish I could like this twice!
Absolutely this. It’s unbearable that he takes all the credit for how Indie is - some kids just have a natural aptitude for certain things. Our toddler is a similar age and they are like Indie with their speech, but we certainly dont do flash cards or prompt them to finish our sentences all the time. We just talk to them about everything and give lots of praise. We don’t even own flash cards
weaning awardsCatching up on a few pages, good to see he’s been annoying as ever!
Just seen there are some weaning awards that he’s nominated in an award for

. Never heard something so ridiculous. I’ve weaned a baby - can I get an award? That will be Marley. Between Joe and Indie Marley won’t get a word in edgeways. Rosie certainly doesn’t,
My daughter is slightly older than Joe's. She doesn't speak and doesn't use a spoon. We have suspected ASD as she presents herself differently to heer peers. We are finally getting a referral. Anyhow. I've done nothing differently to the majority of parents, even bought flash cards (eyerolls) but she is special and amazing the way she is. Happy and content. Its very constant with Joe. My daughter is a good eater though and we don't have to force her to eat healthy things. I've been rather relaxed and what a child has never had, they never want. He is not perfect. Also broke my heart seeing them crying in the car. Each child is different. DO NOT compare to his little one. She does seem quite advanced perhaps but only because she has no choice. He is relentless. I have had a break from his IG recently as I just felt so overwhelmed and compared a lot which I know is wrong. If there is anyone else who's child has additional needs then you're not a lone. Love and support, kindness, kisses and cuddles are all they need. And to be kept off IG.
So true - my cousin has three kids and the youngest was exactly the same. Her older siblings just took over, communicated for her, even carried her everywhere like a mini Queen
Your daughter is lucky to have so much love, support, no pressure and to be kept off IG. A lot of influencers could learn a lot from parents like you xxx
