Re: Don't want to put daughter through it!

[Guest guest]

Yes, I picked up on that too, but the article didn't explore any

other reason for the dealy, so I have a hard time believing it could

be just the plagio - especially corrected plagio. Often times

children with plagio have tort or other motor and/or sensory issues

that might have contributed to the delay. Personally my little guy

seems pretty bright. He's already talking up a storm at 18 months

(300+ words). I did find a site (when researching something on left-

handedness) that said language devlopment is controlled by the left

side of the brain. Since my son had his flat spot on the right, I'm

wondering if the bigger left side had anything to do with it?? I

don't know what is controlled by the right side to see if he might

be delayed in those areas. His motor skills are certainly delayed,

but I think that's the tort.
