[QUOTE="Dad4Life, post: 6338, member: 3303"] My 3 and half years old son is very smart from many prospective but certain things he is not developing to keep up with his age group. 1) Potty Training: -Lately we started to work with him, and he is very good about doing #1 but wont agree on #2. I can bribe or force him to seat on Bob the Builder seat, but almost always its a failure. Especially he was not moving to the next level only because of that, but finally they moved him up (to his age group). He is doing ok but having accidents. My Thoughts: Me and my Wife both work 9-5 type schedule and we get very short time to stay with him on that. Just weekend not working out and I am not sure if I should make him seat on the potty regardless he will go or not (so he get used to that). 2) Speech: -He seems to repeat a lot. If you say "Say Goodby Eli" he will say "Say good by Eli" ..."Is this yours?" he will say "This yours", Also he uses a lot of "First Person" in his speech. Like "Eli wanna go to bed" rather than I want this or that. Also lately he is strugling to say something as he repeating back to back... "I wanna I wanna I wanna .... ride em" This is becoming more than normal now. My Thoughts: -I honestly don't know why this is happening. I think it just gotten this way over the last few months. He used to be good at responding but now he basically repeat stuff and I am sure he is not actually paying attention. He love watching TV -Elmo -Hi5 -Wiggles -Little Einstein and some Disney Movies. I try to keep it under 2 hours a day. He is obsessed with Animal. He knows at least 50-60 different species of animal and how almost all of them sound. In fact, when he get mad, he will grawl like tiger. And last but not least, he is way way too much attached to me. We try not to be hard on him as much as possible but he often gets into trouble like a 3 years old would. I think he is normal but I want to know if I need to check on those (especially his habit of repeating, and also loosing trend of thought as he is talking) [/QUOTE]
