here it goes:
My daughter is 2 and a half and yet she has a trouble talking. Period. She still only knows some words. It could be due to the fact that Im bilingual [[I speak Portuguese && English]] and my grandparents are trying to teach her portuguese as well...but I don't know. She only knjows some words in EITHER language and speaks in her own made up one. I just don't know what to do!!! She loves to watch her TV shows and watch her dvds [[which are ALL in english]] but she doesnt seem to be picking up anything from that. We have a TON of educational toys which she doesnt play with. And when my husband and I try to get her to sit down so we can either read to her or teach her some words, she refuses. I just dont know what to do!! I know all children are different and learn at different paces but...this makes me feel like a very inadequate parent.
Does anyone know of something I could try to do?
