| 2009-10-16 | Jennifer | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your prompt response. I also appreciate the depth of your explaination. I am greatly relieved and encouraged to hear that my children's speech and language development are normal. Your counsel and advice was very beneficial and has only helped me to remain positive about both the children's language milestones and my parenting skills. Thank you again for your help and also for paticipating in this website as a volunteer. There are so few places a parent can turn for sound advice, and even fewer that provide that advice free to the general public. You are certainly a rare gem. |

| 2009-08-07 | Christina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-08-07 | Dawn | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much! While awaiting your response I've been doing exactly what you said to try and happy to say within 48 hrs he is saying yes as an answer to questions now without cues. I guess it didn't take long to learn after all. Maybe I just never thought to teach him that, lol. It's hard when you only have 1 and don't know much about teaching little ones or what they should or shouldn't know at certain ages. I have noticed that he seems more talkative than others his age in his playgroup so that puts my mind at ease too. Thanks! |
| 2009-08-06 | Sarah | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the great response Sharon. I know many parents of children with Eczema that are continually told "No it's not that" with little regard to what actually is. I agree that it's not a far stretch to think that Eczema and the speech delay could be related. So thanks again for validating a train of thought that many of us with E kids have had over the years. |
| 2009-08-03 | Jennifer | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Great suggestion given.....and explained on the level any parent can understand. Thank you! |
| 2009-08-01 | Jennifer | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your very thorough response to my questions! I had never considered the possibility of my daughter having allergies and will follow up on this right away. I also appreciate the additional oral motor activities you suggested and we started working on some of them today. |
