I agree with you about the importance of being home with the child. But even in those wonderful circumstances, kids still have trouble sometimes.

Perhaps more trouble now than in decades past. It could be something affecting them neurologically. I would point to possibly environmental chemical pollutants found in the mother’s womb (by her exposure to them), or the many dangers lurking in the 20-something vaccines shot into the baby’s bloodstream by age 6 months. Far too many, with far too much crap in each, far too young.

I agree. I’veoften wondered if some of the weird s#!t I have was some kind of reaction.

My oldest was slightly speech delayed, but I wonder if that wasn't because of all of the terrible ear infections she had, plus three sets of ear tubes, plus and adenoidectomy, plus a tonsillectomy. She's finally healthy and talks a lot now, even though she speaks very softly and sounds like Donald Duck sometimes. Our little one has had no ear infections and just speaks up a storm with enormous volume too.

My youngest did not talk until he was four. He is now getting ready to go to law school to get a second degree.

Some brains take a little more time to develop. At least it did in his case.
