[quote=Anonymous]My child’s preschool teacher wants us to our DD evaluated for a receptive delay. She speaks well but sometimes doesn’t respond to people correctly. For example when picking up one day, the kids were celebrating one of the kids birthday. The kids were all sharing when their birthday is or at least trying to describe when it is “mine is after Christmas.” “Mine is in may the same as mommy.” One of the kids asked my daughter and she responded with 4, because she will be 4. One of the girls said “noooo when is your birthday” and she simply responded 4 again. We haven’t really taught her when Birthday is but I’m also not sure she understood the question. I should also say there have been times where the teacher has shared something that my daughter has told them and it was completely inaccurate. She told them once we don’t celebrate Christmas or have a Christmas tree (not true) and that we have two cats (we just have a dog. What concerns them the most is that when asked a question with two choices she is usually just says whatever the last choice was. Such as, do you eat breakfast in the morning or at night, she would respond “at night.” She also struggles with words like first, last, more, less, above, below, etc. Is this normal for a 4 yr old? I’m embarrassed that we never noticed a problem. [/quote]
