My son has a few speech delays and part of the process is filling out paperwork and mentioning if any family members were late talkers. It can sometimes run in families.
A few things they remember:
- Potty trained fully at 10 months
- Could identify and say all colors at 15 months
- Could identify all music notes at 9 months on flash cards.. MIL would say bring me the a half note and my DH would crawl and get it for her
It is a real mystery my husband didn’t end up at Juilliard!
Potty training at 10 months is outright impossible. Sorry. The kid isn’t even walking in order to get to the toilet.

She also remembers confiscating a Kiss album from me due to questionable content...even though I’ve never owned a Kiss album and would have been around 5 years old when the album came out.

As a scientist, and the parent of a special needs child, I just want to point out that lies or non-disclosure about health or childhood development can really come back to haunt you. Actually, they can kill, if the older generation is a carrier of a heritable disease, which modern medicine can catch with additional screening in the course of a patient's life. Like cancer! Hopefully in this day and age there is less taboo about it and we won't lie to our kids when they ask.
