Re: Almost a Third of Five Year Olds Don't Have Basic Speech

When my friend looks after her we speak , sing and read all the time to her .

Sad to say the mother is lazy ( it's a known fact ) and sticks the child's OWN tablet into the child's hands and leaves her be . Dreadful
Appalling. It's not uncommon for some parents to plonk their child down in front of the telly whilst they go to the pub.
