[QUOTE="Malika, post: 416938, member: 11227"] Trouble is it's so difficult to say what is happening with a child from a distance, or even close up... I echo the sentiment that you, your sister, would need to speak with someone who has had experience of many children, who is in a better position to judge and evaluate. For whatever it's worth, the thing I find most worrying in what you have said about your nephew is that he is cruel to the dog and laughs about it... but even that... I remember watching a young cousin of mine, a boy aged three, tear all the wings off a ladybird with no apparent signs of remorse. He is today a perfectly "normal" adult. As for not knowing letters or numbers at the age of three, this doesn't personally shock me in the slightest! Every child has their own pace of development; one should only be worried about not knowing letters and numbers at the age of 5 or 6... I do hope you can find a competent source of evaluation - it definitely sounds as if you need to check things out. [/QUOTE]
