[quote=Anonymous]As a preschool teacher, it breaks my heart that this child hasn’t had intervention. Sure, some kids can make up for the late talking, but she’s missing out on a really crucial phase of communication. I would keep doing what you’re doing. Unfortunately, many parents don’t seek help (with a host of things) until they see the negative effects on their child, socially. For example, in a class of 2 year olds, everyone poops in their pants. In a three year old class, some do, some don’t, but the other kids don’t think much of it. In a 4 year old class, kids start noticing that something is different about the kid who is still having accidents all the time. Now, if that is due to a disability, etc. the class can have a conversation about differences, inclusion, etc. But my point is that “just letting things take care of themselves” is a strategy that can backfire and result in more stress and discomfort in the long run than just addressing a potential problem early on.
