Is that child advanced or is my child slow?

No joke. Couldn't read until, ehh. who cares, he can read now. Think how lucky your DS is that his mom is with him and not his nanny.

OP here. No, DS doesn't have any sensory issues. It is a great and very fun class. And this nanny was better and more devoted to the child than half of the mothers in the class.

So sorry to hear that your son was slow. That must have been hard for him.

WTF, OP?! Did you even read the PP?

Her son was not slow, and your son likely isn't either. Kids don't develop at the same pace.

I think you're actually the nanny trolling and wanting a pat on your back.

NO here and the first PP, the one who lived in Africa, is insufferable. I am glad the OP took her down.

Really, what is insufferable? I was trying to tell her that it doesn't matter who knows colors at that age. I am truly stunned at the level of insanity of people who wonder if their child is delayed if they don't know colors after a year old. That she is spending time with her kid, and that is what matters. You and OP are insufferable ones, and she called my child slow! And you don't find that insufferable? I might have called her a bit**, but never would a stoop so slow as to call somebody's child slow even on an anonymous forum. And I am insufferable???

Your position that being at home with your child is more valuable than a nanny or other childcare giver. Especially since you were home and your son was a late reader! You, yourself, stated that your son was a slow to learn to read.

And sensory classes are all over the place now. Why would you ask if a 17 month old had sensory issues? Yes, you are insufferable. Stop playing innocent and learn how you come off to other people.

My boys probably didn't learn colors until they were two and a half when they were finally talking in phrases.

My just-turned 2yo DD knows all her colors & has a huge vocab & does really well lifting tiny stickers off sheets, but she still needs my hand to go down just one step. Boys her age are literally running circles around her.

My mom is an art teacher of PK3-5th grade, and she says she has some 3yo kids who don't consistently get colors right.

I wouldn't be concerned, OP.

I don't think he is behind kids have a wide range of normal. My now almost 6 year old knew all colors by 19 months. My current 21 month old things everything is yellow (well calls everything yellow anyway).

That's a take down? You really need to get out from behind your computer more.

That came out of left field. The PP wasn't being mean, OP, there's no need to be mean yourself.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF GIFTED CHILDREN WHO ARE SLOW TO MATURE.
(My son was one.)

Sorry for shouting, but you're all getting into a tizzy for nothing, particularly OP.

Calm down.

Oh c'mon. The PP was being insufferably sanctimonious. We lived in Africa! My DS was super active and I was super proud! Thank god my kid never had to meet a nanny! Ugh.

Ew, you two totally missed the point of what PP was trying to say. She was saying, they all have their strengths and not to worry. But oh yeah, OP really took her down

I didn't read it that way. I think you are a little overly sensitive.

So if you are policing threads why don't you report the post calling a kid slow?

I think it would be hard to read the bit about the nanny any other way...

For you maybe. I'm a WOHM, with my DD in daycare. Still took no offense. That child is lucky his mom can come. I wish I could attend those things with my kid as well. That in no way means nannies or daycare are bad for crying out loud.

I agree. The OP who lived in Africa is nuts. Not the rest of us.
