ARE YOU WAITING TO SEE IF YOUR CHILD WILL OUTGROW THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY

[killlazwanted187]

My son is about to be 3 years old and i am a young mother he is my first child and i had alot of problems during the pregnancy... when he was born he had lack of oxygen to the brain and i cant get over the fact that he cant walk or talk or sit on his own he goes to therepys at a special daycare and he really is a happy little boy but it hurts to not know whats going on or if he will learn what other kids do and well i jus would like other mothers to talk to who can understand me...

ur a great mom....my son is 4.5 n feel strongly that he will grow out of it.....i now feel like the worst mom in the world. i think im angry at myself and resentful. im an educated woman, great career and all but the most stubborn mother alive...i dont even know where to begin....i blamed myself for my son's outcome because id think i didnt breastfeed him....i thought that when i bottlefed my child as a baby with enfamil with dha+, i thought hed be a whiz by now...boy was i wrong.

@TheNubian1985 -Please do not blame yourself. These feelings of anger and frustrations

will not help you or your child move forward. Focus your energy on how to move forward. That is the message we want you to come away with...we want you to see you are not alone in "waiting" and, that things WILL get BETTER! As Betsy said-she was feeling the same feelings as you however things started to get better once she left those feelings behind! LOVE YOUR CHILD - focus on HOPE not regrets.
