[quote=Anonymous]My 18 months old niece is speech delay with no words,  and my brother's family want to do wait and see approach even though pediatrican suggest free early intervention at 18 months old checkup.  I have recommended free library storytime, free toddler playgroup, and free kid friendly event good for social and language in their areas, and they can't take her there because of her sleep/poop schedule. She sleeps till noon (nightowl active at midnight) every day and they can't leave house till after her daily poop. She poops daily, and she cries if they change her poopy diaper in the car or in public bathroom.. I ask him frankly that what would they do when it is time for her to go to public preschool at 3.He has no answers. I think they spoil their daughter too much and none of them I mention above is really in her best interests.

Both I and grandparents express some concerns on how they raise their kid, and grandparents want me to say something. I have older kids, so sometimes my brother calls me for advice. I tell him this and that, and I don't know how much he takes it. I hope the best for my niece. Grandparents want me to talk to them again. I don't mind doing that, but they probably won't like to hear what I say. We are seeing them on coming halloween night because they want her to join my kids on trick or treating in my area. I tell them my kids will be out trick or treating from 6pm to 8pm outdoor and it is quite late, dark, cold and sometimes scary. I think she should have gone to the daytime trick or treating or pumpkin patch. Well, she misses them all. Is it better for me to talk to them on halloween night in person or find another timing to talk to on the phone? I may not see them in person till thanksgiving dinner next time at grandparent house.
