There are times when the desire for the children to move forward outweighs the reality of the situation, as well as that comparisons are hateful and it is never necessary to compare one child with another, especially at an early age. Maybe you have a 22-month-old son who only says dad, and your friends’ 15-month-old children already put two words together … And of course, the normal thing is that you throw your hands to your head and that you take him as soon as possible to the pediatrician and to the ENT to find out if something is wrong with your little one.
