I am not a parent, so my advice might not mean much, but I think it makes perfect sense that being raised in a bilingual home would result in taking longer to speak. She is learning twice as much! And it seems very comforting that she understands both languages and responds appropriately. I think you have bright one on your hands!<br /><br />I also wanted to say thank you for your comment in response to what 'well wisher' said on my blog. I wanted to respond myself, but was not quite sure what to say, and I was rather taken aback by the comment. I do hear negative stories from time to time in regards to life in Denmark, but I chose to see the good in things, and try to laugh through the bad things. Either way, all things are a learning experience, and you can take from them what you will. Your response to the comment was perfect, classy, and much appreciated. Thanks again!<br /><br />LindsayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314717655168154994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258361752692548020.post-40518499574606130572011-05-24T13:02:54.583+02:002011-05-24T13:02:54.583+02:00I really apperciate the comment!I really apperciate the comment!Desirae Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567281737612580223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258361752692548020.post-61221959714624347402011-05-23T15:20:03.149+02:002011-05-23T15:20:03.149+02:00I know it's so easy to worry and no amount of ...I know it's so easy to worry and no amount of stories and comparing will help, as I have been there before, but......<br /><br />My daughter was a late late talker, we actually had her see 2 speech therapists and even thought they told us she was perfectly normal, we still sought out their help and she was worked with once a week for a year and she still works with them every Summer. (She has a difficult time with L and TH)<br /><br />She is incredibly bright (Kindergarten, but taking 2nd grade classes!) and sweet and you know what?? She talks so much that sometimes we actually have to ask her where her off switch is! She recently beat out the other Kindergarten children, 1st and 2nd graders during the Science Fair oral reports to snag 1st place!<br /><br />So just take it easy, it's so easy for us moms to worry, but all will be well!!
