Failure

Why do you think you are failing? She sounds like a normal toddler.

@Alejandra she is I just feel I am. Her pediatrician said she wanted her to say words next month at her appointment and I’m nervous she won’t and I’ll look bad.

Kids say words at their own pace- does she go to daycare or is it just you and her? They pick things up from other kids a lot faster - I would also suggest just talking a lot around her. Saying the names and narrating what you’re doing instead of trying to get her to say stuff.

@Jill she is with me and I try and she figured a lot out and at times will say words but not everytime

At times when she does eat all she will eat is mac and cheese so I feel bad she won’t eat different stuff but that’s all I can get to eat at times

My son didn’t talk much until he was 3 and went to preschool because I knew everything he wanted. My daughter is a lot quicker as the second. Every kid is different so maybe the doctor can give some good tips. Ms Rachel actually shows a lot of how to teach them

@Genevieve and she is in a stage of hitting and throwing things and will straight up slap you in the face and I’ve tried to get her to stop but her dad upsets her and makes her upset and she takes it out on me

Girl do not feel alone in this!! My toddler is similar, he’s not really talking yet and we talk around him ALL the time. He has some big feelings right now because he can’t really express himself via words yet and so he tries to hit or throw things when he gets frustrated. Our pediatrician said it’s all normal for toddlerhood.

@Kathleen I try and tell her no and help her not get frustrated because I know that’s what it is she can’t do and say things fully so she is upset but her dad will get onto her for things which results in her getting upset worse and I normally get the blunt of the frustration
