Just wondering if my children are doomed because "mom" has social Phobia. They are 3 and 4… they both have speech delays because I was never able to get them out.
Now they are in full-day preschool/daycare while I am now starting therapy!
I hope they won’t end up like me ![]()
I guess my question is, "Do my children still have a chance to become social people, even though they both have speech delays?" Our daughter is almost 5 and still can not string words together to have a "conversation" with…. I know I am to blame for this because she hasn’t gotten out of the house until 6 weeks ago when we decided to put them in full day preschool/daycare.
You have identified your problem so they are not likely to be "doomed." You can always talk to their teachers and school counselors to get some guidance on this too. They are not doomed.
Also schools usually have a specialist to help with speech delays, at least in my memory of elementary school.
(this doesn’t answer your direct question but I think this way of putting it will be useful to you along with other people’s answers)
