Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My second son used to bite his older brother on the back and got payback when HIS little brother did the same to him. Second son--delayed speech; the other speaking in full sentences right off the bat. Do girls bite, too?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Making sounds, but they likely have no understanding about what it is. It's just babble, and they usually make several similar sounds, a new one every few days, seems to be the focus. We babble the same sound right back at them, and they look at you like Yeah, that's what I said!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My second son, , the late speaker used to speak " cat " when he was 2 or 3. He would meow whatever he had to say and if I answered him in " human, " he would get mad. If I meowed back, he'd say " Meow " as in, yes, that's it.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Kendall is 13 months and has about 25 words and bites. My son has bruises when she gets him good before we can stop her. She hits, bites, pinches, etc. You can see the look of frustration on her face when she wants something and can't have/get it. For her at least I don't think communication and biting are related. I think she just gets mad LOL Marie Quisenberry leesamarie2828@... attentive mother- Re: Has anyone > notice this? > > > > > > > > How funny, I was just sharing today with someone about how > maybe > > some > > kids don't talk because sometimes we are so intune with what > > they > > need that we understand them etc. > > > > Not saying that others aren't.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 It could be as simple as that. Does your son scream and cry when she bites him? Could be fun for her, making the bigger kid squawk.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 My son Meows. =) He also dances to music, has since he was 4 months or so and tries to beat a drum beat with the music. At one he is now waving back at me two different ways and developing his on sign language for things like he's hungry! Doug and I are going to start teaching him sign language so he can communicate better, he gets a kick out of it. I think the vax mess up a lot of development for kids and I'm glad my son has been spared!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 which is why we shouldn't assume kids are these ways because of vaccination or unvaccination....EVERY baby, child, toddler, etc...... is different and to say they look or are a certain way because of vaccines or not is unfair. This is why this topic bothers me so....... " the look " ....jsut horrible! My opinion, Rina Rina Barillas From: herbmom92 <herbmom@...> Subject: attentive mother- Re: Has anyone notice this? Vaccinations Date: Monday, September 8, 2008, 4:05 PM How funny, I was just sharing today with someone about how maybe some kids don't talk because sometimes we are so intune with what they need that we understand them etc. Not saying that others aren't. It's just that I've noticed that some kids don't seem the need to talk until later. While other kids are more vocal and even like to hear themselves babble. My children even though they don't talk until later do understand very well. To well I think sometimes LOL> I was shocked when at one 6 month appointment the Ped asked if my child was speaking yet?
