[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 6350, member: 1233"] Well, I think you have gotten good advice here. The toilet training is not something I would consider such a big deal. The more you make a big deal of it, the less likely it is to work. And, just as a not fun thought, if he gets upset and knows it is a big deal to you, he may just potty on something of yours. I have a cousin who did this. Tons of fun. NOT. The onset of the echoing is a big red flag. I would see if there is a developmental pediatrician you can get an evaluation with. The pediatrician will have some ideas, but it is good to see who your insurance covers before you see the pediatrician. At your son's age he should qualify for Head Start or another early learning/intervention program through the school district. Contact them. You may have to fight through some layers of secretaries, etc... to get the right info. Any letters should be sent certified mail as this puts special protections into place. Make sure your son's hearing is checked. By a pediatric audiologist. It makes a huge difference. Speech testing is also crucial. You are absolutely right to check on this stuff now. Early intervention makes a HUGE difference! And don't blame yourself. Sharing your interests with your child is not a bad thing. It might, however, be a good idea to limit the TV a bit more on a regular basis. But for some kids this is the only thing that calms them and gives the parent a few minutes of peace. So use it when you need it, in my humble opinion! Susie [/QUOTE]
