[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, the children most at risk from covid are ages 0-4. I would take a minor speech delay over this any day.

My child had a speech delay 15 years ago. He didn't speak till he was 2.5. Not only did he "survive," he thrived. He is on the debate team and Model UN now.

People acting like speech delays are worse than illness remind me of the folks who don't vaccinate because they are afraid of autism. Nonsensical and offensive.[/quote]

2.5 years old isn't even that late for talking.  My 4 year old barely talks.

And yes, I absolutely think the risk of various developmental delays tied to COVID restrictions is worse for young kids than COVID itself.  Not the least because those restrictions aren't even going to be effective in preventing infections- they're just slowing down how quickly they occur.  Regardless, the severity of COVID cases in kids is roughly the same as the severity of the flu in kids.  Yet the policies act like it is much, much worse.[/quote]

How is it tied to covid?  Are you getting speech therapy?  Do you realize that many of us had kids who didn't talk till after four before covid?[/quote]
