[quote=Anonymous]My good friends daughter is about to turn 3. The child has a pretty significant speech delay, but my friend hasn’t sought out early intervention and knows “she’ll speak eventually”. The child just started stringing words together into sentences and most of it is unintelligible. Most of them when we visit (monthly or so) she is silent the whole time. I don’t talk to my friend about this and she doesn’t ask my advice. My question is about my OWN kids, who are 3 and 5. We visit every so often, but my kids aren’t sure how to communicate with her. I am a huge advocate for diversity, communicating with different kids, etc. When we visit, I encourage them to play with the child and talk and play, but they’ll say (as kids do) “but she doesn’t talk!” I guide them to her mom, or give examples on how she communicates, and remind them that she does understand and to include her. It’s awkward. Help. [/quote]
