[quote=Anonymous]DD started reading at age 2. All we did was read to her and teach her the alphabet. Kids will do all sorts of amazing and stupid things, sometimes even amazingly stupid, lol. Let her be a kid. She has the rest of her life to learn and feel pressure. But as of now, it should be all about play doh, finger painting, and exploring the world safely. DS, OTOH, is 2 and we’ll most likely have him evaluated in January as he has only spoken 4 words. We’re not stressed about it, kids do different things at different times. I can ask him to put his dinosaur back in the toy box in his room and he’ll listen. I can ask him to get his crayon from under the chair, and he’ll (usually) do it, so he understands perfectly well and I’m sure he’ll talk when he’s good and ready. Maybe our nonchalance about both of the above make us bad parents, but I look at it like we are meeting our kids where they are, not where we want them to be. [/quote]
