I think we all know what the literacy level is like in that household.And reading to him, lots and lots. I know the Speech Therapist reads to Luna and Atlas, but I wonder if Globyn read to Atlas.

It's actually pretty simple. When they're super little, you just talk to them (exactly like @Sammies#1Fan said) in a calm, gentle voice, and as they get older you ask them simple questions and if they can't/won't verbalize an answer, you help them. You read to them, encourage them to help with the story, sing to them and when they hit that stage where they question everything and never shut up, you listen to them and answer them. When my little pudgy guy hit 2 or so, everything was, "why?" and, "what's that?" He drove me nuts but I always took the time to answer him and encouraged him to ask more complex questions.I am childless and can appreciate any insight on how little children should be prompted to speak, especially if there's a delay.
Ohh oops. My bad. Sorry, carry on!site broke
Oh yeah, I literally just finished a class on language development and this is very true. If you talk to youw chiwd wike dis, thats how theyre gonna learn the pronounciations of those words.Good, Woody looks a lot more normal.
If that’s the way Robyn always speaks to Atlas, then it’s likely he does have a speech delay. I though since she only does boomerangs she might not be capturing speech but maybe he’s not speaking.
She baby talks to a 3 1/2 year old and gives him no language skills. Instead of saying “0h, you wunning Atlas? Wunning, wunning” which gives him zero opportunity to respond or even notice her, she should be asking questions. “What is that you are running though?” Is it a dinosaur? What kind? Is it bones? From what animal?” stuff like that. This just comes naturally to a mother.
Omg I just saw this after typing everything up. I don't have anything to add, so I'm gonna spoiler it. You explained it in much more professional terms than I did lol. All this to basically sayShe should have been talking to him from the beginning, and giving him language even when he couldn't say it himself: self-talk (narrating what she's doing), parallel talk (narrating what he's doing), communication loops (saying something, waiting for a response whether it's verbal or non-verbal and repeating), joint attention, labeling, open-ended questions, and so on. And he's way too old for baby talk.

Sorry, that was a bit of misinformation from me. The videos that are posted here as actual files were broken but are currently being repaired. The videos that are YouTube embeds, however, are permanently broken because the person didn't want their video shared in the "Tard Baby General" and the KiwiFarmers didn't ARCHIVE FUCKING EVERYTHING like they should have. We should all learn from their mistakes.Ohh oops. My bad. Sorry, carry on!
Of course. That absolutely goes without saying. I was at an evaluation today and when I left the site, there were signs in both English and Spanish in the car line thanking parents for reading 30 minutes to their children tonight. I thought it was pretty cool.And reading to him, lots and lots. I know the Speech Therapist reads to Luna and Atlas, but I wonder if Globyn read to Atlas.
"My profoundly disabled child has made my life both difficult and inconvenient" is what she meant to say, but was too afraid to.Blasts from the past, courtesy of GenociderSyo:

Motherhood is about Robyn at all times. Her fulfillment and growing. If she grew up Mormon, motherhood is the most important role for a woman, which she infused with woo, and it became a real toxic combo.
The boys will never get what they really need from her, I am certain. They are accessories in her LARP of Mormon crunchy mom.
Also Robyn, motherhood is about your child/ren too. Stop eye fucking the camera all day and interact with them. You don’t even play with atlas at the park, you sit on the sidelines with your damn phone. Go on the swings and laugh with him! Race him to the slide! Go on the seesaw and watch his little face when he’s high in the air! I hope one day you have the capacity to see all you’ve missed while filming everything and not being involved."My profoundly disabled child has made my life both difficult and inconvenient" is what she meant to say, but was too afraid to.
It's wild how parents talk about kids they assume (or know) won't be able to ever read what they really think. It's also really sad if you ask me.
Unless Robyn has some strange, three inch long prehensile nipples, Tree baby is no where close to being latched.She no longer needs Atlas as a prop so he gets to sleep in now.

I have no idea why she's baking Asians, but she might get in trouble with the law for that. She should at least thank the Lao family for their contribution.
Atlas is her passive aggressive scapegoat now she has the new babbyView attachment 5972145
I like how your toddler getting adequate rest is defined as "sleeping in". That's nomenclature for not showing up for your job, or being lazy.
Which is of course what she means.
Even with her abuse of filters, Robyn is looking rough.View attachment 5972145

One could easily mistake Robyn as the grandma in these photos. She looks absolutely haggardEven with her abuse of filters, Robyn is looking rough.
If this is her WITH filters, what do those bags under her eyes look like without filters?View attachment 5972145

I know it's all been discussed already but it just peeves me so much that she doesn't model speech for Atlas. She should be narrating his day "You're trying to help Luna? That's so helpful and kind! Is that her blanket? It's lovely and soft isn't it? Do you think she'd like it near her face because it's so soft?" With appropriate pauses for answers.Good, Woody looks a lot more normal.

From what animal?” stuff like that. This just comes naturally to a mother. It shows how few true motherly instincts she has to be talking to a 3 year old that way. Yeah, while they are running you don’t speak to them but before and after. So her baby talk is performative or any conversations with her child are non-existent. Guess they all happened before birth?
By about 4 the why phase comes up and that’s when they say “why?” to everything. “Why is the sky blue, why does the washer make that sound, why does the dog sleep there?” Then they repeat those whys over and over. A parent should learn to answer the question lots of different ways in different words so they absorb language. They don’t really need exact answers about light spectrum and atmosphere, it’s just give and take and learning words. If Atlas ever has a why phase, I can’t imagine either of them doing more than brushing him off. “Dude, I told you once, go play with Woody.”
It just makes me puzzled why she has all this earth mother stuff and really doesn’t give a shit about the actual kids she’s mothering. Surely there is another hippie grift she’d like more?
This made me laugh way harder than it should have and gave me the best/worst mental image. Thanks for all of that.three inch long prehensile nipples
