WORRYING OVER NOTHING

 

When we had been wondering why there was delay in speech development in our child, a friend messaged us to have patience. It made a world of difference to our perceptions.

We responded:

Grateful indeed for your message. It was the most sensible message we have received ever in our life.

Sharing and brainstorming always gives you answers for the cascades of tormenting issues. You have exactly done that.

Though life has taught me so much I am still learning.

The greatest lesson I have learned is, I am a nobody when I compare myself with others.

Three days ago, my cousin's husband at our native place  had phoned me. He had something to convey.

Then we went chitchatting. He enquired how the children were doing. What we all invariably do.

But he was aware of the minor health issues that occasionally had plagued the children.

I replied they were ok now and added that the younger one is falling behind in speech development.

 Though this is already long, I am placing here his response.

It  was a soothener indeed.

 He tells me, his younger son had started speaking after 3 and a half years only.

He says though the child began speech at that age whatever he conveyed lacked clarity.

Clarity came after he turned eight 

The boy finished his engineering later as he grew up.

He's now employed at Singapore

To conclude, I can only say we - I mean us - normally worry over nothing as we have nothing to worry about.
