If it's a tongue issue, I expect that growing motor control will finesse those sounds. And potty training? What's in it for him? Mine was four before I saw the light of potty training in his eyes.witchypoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07283731244654558458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246583228211437181.post-46151238279631569152009-08-28T18:22:47.168-04:002009-08-28T18:22:47.168-04:00BPD... in a child?

Don't dismiss them, but do certainly take the insight as a "hmmm, maybe, keep a watch out."<br /><br />Fire off the alarms and run about flailing arms wildly in the air? Nah. Tuck it away as a, if it doesn't change in a year address it.<br /><br />I have a son who potty trained in the back yard one summer. At 3 years old. As opposed to his sister who at 2 said, "Enough with this diaper non-sense. Panties, something in a high cut PowerPuff Girls motif, please. My legs look short enough as it is for goodness sake. I blame you, Mother."Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847646617121594534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246583228211437181.post-55641701864869580952009-08-28T16:55:21.510-04:002009-08-28T16:55:21.510-04:00Caring as you do about Cooper, this is stressful a...Caring as you do about Cooper, this is stressful as a "maybe", at a stressful time for you. Yet, I do feel it is good to be forewarned. And trust your intellect to tell you when/if this is a problem. No educator would ever validate my suspicions about our child's learning style and it delayed diagnosis too long. You are doing a fine, fine job.Dproudmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317963320680935293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246583228211437181.post-88133305190874141692009-08-28T14:47:55.457-04:002009-08-28T14:47:55.457-04:00that should be deviation, not deviance.

Now not every one of them will be right but at least you know they care enough to bring it to your attention. <br />Our neighbor's kid was very disturbed. His daycare never outright said to his mom that there was a problem, only pointed out his breaking of the rules. Many violent episodes and late testing later he has , without a doubt, borderline personality disorder. I had an uncomfortable discussion with her and encouraged her to have him tested. It's not easy to speak up. <br />I'm sure that your little fella will be just fine. You are right, they do all develop differently. I have two who are totally different. <br />It's an adventure:)kmnoreply@blogger.com
