[QUOTE="Jacobariel, post: 759425, member: 26493"] Hello guys I am new here and forgive me if I am posting on the wrong part of the forum but I am a very worried father. My daughter is 8 years old and since she was of talking age she had to receive Speech Therapy because she had a hard time with articulation and could not fold her tongue. For many years she received therapy for her speech and finally this past May she graduated from Speech Therapy however, she is still having some issues even though she has come a long way. Her teachers then and now have said she does not interact with other children in class she is quiet and barely speaks. She follows but does not lead. When she is around us like her mother and two brothers she interacts with us and dances and talks to us sometimes but other times she does not say much or does not socialize with us much. When she is around other family that she knows well like her grandparents she does not interact with them and comes across as shy and will usually only speak if you ask her to say like thank you for example. Lately though since maybe a month ago we have noticed she has been giggling and making facial expressions while talking to herself. When we ask her what are you giggling or talking about she says she is reenacting a movie scene from Ratatouille or says I am thinking or will say I am fine when you keep asking her. Sometimes I think she worries too much about things I don't know but it worries me because like last night I walked in her room an she was awake late at night and told me she was thinking about family and presents and stuff that should not be on her mind so late at night. She is going to see her pediatrician tomorrow and will mention all this and Thursday she is being tested at school. I thought about posting here to see what you guys think may be going on. [/QUOTE]
