Response from rossa:
I have twin boys with speech delays. I don't understand much of what they say, either, but i have noticed that my worry interferes with my comprehension of what they do say. for example, they have a habit of repeating words now that they hear, but until I heard the words myself, i could not understand many of them. They are saying words, but not well enought for everyone to understand. I read that television hinders speech development, and I use a lot of tv, since it really held their attention. But now, I am considering staying at home with them and getting them into a routine that will help me to understand them better. I guess it is going to be more work and less fun watching our children grow and develop. My prayers are with you. |
