If your daughter went to kindergarten normally they would pick up on speech.
One of mine was behind in speech and the daycare given us a report about it when we picked her up one day.
What is the difference between on-line reading and reading printed books???
On-line reading is likely to cause neck problems because they bend their necks forward instead of picking of picking a book up. It doesn’t do a child’s eyes any favours either.

Best of luck, Mama!

Try not to take too much on board. Every child develops at a different rate, and no two individuals will ever be the same.

Definitely help out where you can, but also try to focus on the things your girls excel at. Where one ‘subject’ is less understood, there is always another which is advanced.

You can do this, you’re doing great.

Don’t stress, remember children learn and develop at different rates. If you give your daughter the help she needs she’ll get there.

You have done nothing wrong.
It is not your fault.

It’s such a shock to hear something like this especially when they do so well at home. What a beautiful attitude you’ve taken! Sometimes kids just have difficulties regardless of how we parent. Sounds like they have a good mum to look after them!

It is incredibly hard, but take heart from the fact that early intervention can make it better in the long run.

Best of luck! Sounds like you did everything you could, not your fault! It’s hard not to blame yourself but you’re doing a wonderful job. Remember too to trust your gut instinct. Teachers don’t always get it right.

Its not something parents want to hear that the kids may have a issue or two. But speaking from one mum to another whos kid has had issues with speech and more. My Eldest son started private speech theorpy due to his issues at 4 and now a couple of years later we are starting to wind down the sessions due to him having caught up to where he should be.. But having seen him struggle when his younger brother started having issues at three years old we jumped straight into the sessions. And with in 6 months of fortnightly sessions he is doing great still. I found my kids responded better to a play based speech theropist (in our house) than one that sat in a office trying to get your kids to talk. They also responded better to her changing the sounds of their words that they did to me trying..
Its also great that you are getting the kids out and about in the world with the riding bikes etc, there is no better learning experience than been out and about. The things they could learn is great..

oh please don’t get me wrong I am so happy they are taking so much care of her and recognising this early…. its just scary.

  Of course! Because you are mum and because you care, anything that involves your children has a deep impact. We feel everything for our children and just want the very best for them. Guilt has no place and is not positive. You are involved and being proactive, stay strong and make sure someone cares for you too! Good on you!

Early intervention makes a huge difference to educational outcomes and many children do receive early intervention. It is a good thing when teachers pick up on the needs of all of the children in their classes.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses – hope you find a way to make your little ones shine. You should be glad the teachers raised concerns early on in the term – it allows for things to be nipped in the bud early and will be great for your kids in the longer term. Its hard to hear this kind of thing. Stay strong and keep encouraging your kids to keep trying – effort and perseverance are the main things.
