[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   OP when DD was that age we never had good playdates and I cried more than I care to admit. In retrospect I wish we had never done a Mommy and Me program because it was like the mommy Olympics and I got so sick of judgy mommies staring at my kid with disapproval.

We continued ST, OT, playdates (as many as I could handle without losing my mind), and various other things and it got better. Fast forward to now (age 9) and I still have some dread with playdates and it's a lot of work and anxiety for me, but they seem to for the most part go fine these days. I've met some really great moms of both typical and SN kids and that has helped a lot too. I avoided competitive and judgy moms like the plague.

Hang in there. Things can get MUCH better!! I was feeling pretty hopeless for quite a while.[/quote]

Forgot to add, there was a child we knew in the 2 year old group who was a developmental superstar. The mom was braggy and got way too into my business. Fast forward to know and they are at the same school. My kid sees superstar getting pull-out with the SN teacher and speech pathologist and mentions it in passing-not like it's a big deal because IT ISN'T. The issues are probably different, but it goes to show that what a child does at 2 is not indicative of where they will be later on.[/quote]
