[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she asks, be ready with resources. Otherwise, not your issue. I guarantee if you’ve noticed it, any parent is also hyper aware.[/quote] NP. Not true. I was at playground and a parent kept commenting on how advanced my preschooler was. My child wasn’t advanced at all. I could tell by the way his child walked and tried to climb playground equipment (that most preschoolers could do) he had some sort of disorder. I didn’t say anything since he was a complete stranger, but some parents are oblivious.[/quote] Except… he was a complete stranger, so you have no idea what he knows about his child. This is precisely why you can’t make assumptions. Maybe his kid is being treated for delays and he was just marveling at a developmentally “on time” child because hasn’t been around one before. Maybe it was his hsmfisyed way of trying to cover embarrassment or other feelings. He was a total stranger. You know nothing. You are jumping to conclusions and assume you understand a situation that you could not possibly understand. The arrogance here. Way too many parents think their experience with their own children qualifies them to evaluate and diagnose other kids. It does not. Feel free to mention resources like developmental screenings or specialists you’d recommend, but do so with the humility that you don’t know anything about someone else’s child. [/quote]
