I know there are a lot of us out there. I often feel like I need to start like I'm at an AA meeting to encourage others to talk about their late talkers and what they have done together through EI. After coming through with my first and one on the go I would really encourage a second opinion if you're second guessing yourself. Thanks for stopping by and giving your support.

The oldest was talking WAY early. Off the charts at 1. My youngest was a late talker. Didn't start until he was 2 1/2. They are 5 years apart. I found out though, that they had developed a kind of sign language with each other. The older one was constantly doing all the talking for the youngest, as the youngest used "their language" to share his needs. I'm an educator, child development major, and former school principal. I was blessed to have lots of research at my disposal, so as not to worry too much about this. For a while, I let the older one share for the younger one. Then I decided, enough. I asked the older to stop delivering the message and told the younger he would need to "talk" to me if he wanted his needs met. One day cookies were out...the older one says to the younger,"come one, if you don't talk to Mommy you won't get a cookie!". The younger spoke his first words"Cookie, mama please.". Too funny. Because my oldest was SO verbal, the youngest was a bit intimidated, so he was quiet. All along I continued to immerse him in language through reading, play, art. As soon as I was more careful to give space for the youngest to speak, he did...more and more. I was confident that he would speak, as soon as he was ready. He's 18 now...and I can't shut him up! :) I hope all goes well with your little one. .-= teachingwithsoul´s last blog ..<a href="http://teachingwithsoul.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/inspiring-photo-teacher/" rel="nofollow">Inspiring High School Photo Teacher~Amber Fox</a> =-.
