#526 Wednesday 29 February

Pinch and a punch .....

Today's story .... but first a bit of explanation.
Some of you will already know this.  Children develop at different rates in different skills.  Kaylia currently has pretty good listening language skill ... she's probably about 6 or 7 year old level.  In talking skill she is way behind ... maybe 1 or 2 year level.  At this stage she 'babbles'  .... but because of her near normal understanding, we often hear normal words included in the babble.  This can be quite funny!

In the morning after breakfast, she reads to me from the current school reading book.  Yesterday she finished her reading and I praised her for her efforts ....  "Good girl, well done!"  Off she goes ... babbling away as she goes.  Then quite clearly in the babble we hear "Well done!" 

She has a good understanding of good and bad behaviour ... when she is scolded for doing something naughty, she doesn't like it.  She is clearly relieved when I tell he that what she did was naughty .... but she is still a special girl!  It usually only takes a couple of rounds of this before she stops that behaviour.
