Aww thanks guys!! My first titleThank you to @HumanPerson for the new title with 60+ likes.
And a big thank you to Rebecca Ellen Lamb for continuously providing us with car crash content!
I think so many of the issues arise from Rebecca and Steve. If there's a delay or something that needs extra help or support, don't use it as content for social media, actually get the child the appropriate help, take time to make sure as parents you're doing/saying the correct things, it's only then that they can give support. Sadly little Woody doesn't have anyone in the house who's speech is going to be of help to him.My son didn’t say much at 2 either. Come 3 we couldn’t shut him upSome kids hold back and don’t say anything until they are confident to do so. I was told this and stand by it. I was at play groups 3/4 times a week and swimming groups and all sorts from 2months old with my son and it wasn’t until he stared pre school at 3 his sentences came. Every child is different and Woody has only just turned 2 remember so let’s give him some slack. HOWEVER I will say I’ve noticed how behind Alfie seems to be. My son is the same age has him and seems miles more grown up in loads of ways.
Totally agree with you. It's also important that parents help the children to reach their full potential rather than just accepting the bare minimum, and as you've said that can only be done by having them assessed and following up with any suggestions. Sometimes as parents we may have to pester to get our kids the appropriate assessments and follow up care, but that's all part of being a responsible parent. It's better to be seen as a pest or nuisance because you want your child to have the best care and support, long term it's our children who benefit.In reply to the comment on the last post. I don’t think much is expected of children in the UK. If you read the questionnaire they give you for 27 months, it’s actually very simple and even then they don’t have to pass it with full marks. It’s the fact he doesn’t say more than 15-20 words. You can argue kids develop at different rates and I agree, but you shouldn’t use that excuse to not even have a child checked over. That boils my piss, that’s exactly why Alfie wasn’t checked and he didn’t say a word until 3. That’s an issue. Surely as a parent you’d rather have intervention early if needed? Always better to check than leave it too late.
EXACTLY.Where’s the zebra? Point to the zebra, it’s like a horse but with stripes, point to the stripey horse. Jesus Christ no wonder her kids are so thick
My little boy has been in speech therapy for 7 months (can’t shut him up now) and it’s actually the opposite. Usually the 2nd/3rd child that will have a delay as the older one talk over and do the talking for them.She’s so stupid, the fact the videos she’s just posted of Woody clearly shows he’s so underdeveloped with his speech. At 2 he should be able to say Ball. He needs to be seen by a HV. Also with him being the second child I find that then tend to pick up their speech quicker as they have a sibling around them!!
You should never be embarrassed about something like that, you did what a responsible parent does. Rebecca and Steve should be embarrassed because they clearly know Alfie has issues with his speech, but do nothing about it and are now doing exactly the same with Woody, they are neglectful.My little one has speech delay. I started to get concerned early on and mentioned it to the HV who could not have been more supportive. I’m not embarrassed about it, all children are different and develop at different rates, but I wanted to be sure I was supporting my child the best I could and educating myself on who to help her.
I have said this before and I will scream it over the Yorkshire dales if it’ll make Rebecca listen. There’s nothing wrong with woodys speech being a little behind, it’s how you manage it that is the issue, seek guidance from a professional who will gladly just give you some pointers on how to help your son. And above all.. put the camera down! A lot of the boys speech problems are probably down to being told to perform infront of a phone instead of a human being.
Oh I totally get it and am with you all to a certain degree. She’s a shite mother and does fuck all with them.But with Woody having just turned 2 I still feel he has time yet to say he’s behind. Alfie on the other hand is a different story as I he seems very behind in a lot.I think so many of the issues arise from Rebecca and Steve. If there's a delay or something that needs extra help or support, don't use it as content for social media, actually get the child the appropriate help, take time to make sure as parents you're doing/saying the correct things, it's only then that they can give support.
