[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 638167, member: 1991"] I've spoken to my speech path buddy at length. She's a friend so she wants to spend more time with us anyway. easy child 2/difficult child 2 respects her opinion, too. We talked to easy child 2/difficult child 2 and I shared what speech path buddy said. Basically, an informal assessment won't hurt and us doing some early intervention play with him and using his interest areas to encourage him to broaden his activity won't do him any harm either. I'm a bit limited in what I can do. If I was at home, I'd get him on my lap while I play the piano (which I have to dig out from under a mountain of difficult child 3's crud). My other two grandkids are precocious but it is interesting what they can't do, compared to difficult child 3 and what he could do. BG1 is nearly 3 years old and by that stage difficult child 3 was reading fluently, words and numbers. He was up to triple digit numbers by then and was also reading and playing sheet music. BG1, on the other hand, has marvellous language skills but although she tries, she is not able to read numbers. She can recognise her own name in printing, though. easy child 2/difficult child 2 at that age was also very verbally expressive and drawing complex pictures. So we will see how he goes. The sooner we can get him into a part-time child care placement, the better for him, I think. [/QUOTE]
