I hate speculating about whether or not a child has additional needs and would hate for someone to do it about mine so I try not to comment about Barney on here but that vlog really made me realise what was missing from his interactions - he never looks at his parents to gage their reactions to things he’s unsure about - on alien swirling saucers he didn’t once look up at Sophie or Dave, see they were smiling and laughing and then knowing they were having fun on it, proceed to giggle himself, he just looked straight ahead so overwhelmed and confused.
A lot of kids have delayed speech for a variety of different issues, I think nobody here is being mean to a child, it’s certainly not his fault! We can all just see two parents making NO effort to try and help their child and that’s the frustrating point. Shove a dummy in his mouth constantly and an iPad infront of him constantly, you’re not going to see progress!
They can say the classic “you only see x amount of our day” but if you’d been making the effort in the time we’re not shown we’d see results in the time we are shown. FACT.
I’ve seen very young teenage parents engage better with their child and bother to spend the time setting an example, going to work, reading bedtime stories one after the other, attending group baby classes . Sophie and Dave aren’t “influencers” and certainly can’t call themselves full time YouTubers. What example are they setting that poor boy (& what will they be impressing onto him as an older kid and teen) other than to be lazy, eat shit and spend recklessly without a care for the consequences.
I’ve never known two people to be such an embarrassment to adult life. They are in their 30’s FFS!!!!!!!
