Thanks, I do understand that his development needs to be monitored and where he 'should' be. He certainly understands a lot more words than he can say and will look for a certain toy or his juice etc if I ask him to. He also started today going aww at the cat, so mark the list up one.

It just winds me up, she has been trying to force me to anti-depressants from my son was about 10 days old when there is totally no need for them. I'm as balanced as I have always been. (shurrit Mr A!)

My mum did not speak a word until she was 2 and then spoke in sentances, a few kids I know didn't speak at all until quite late and are now fine and none of them have been referred etc.

Most people I have told about this have been baffled, but there again, most of their health visisors have not been in touch since their kids were about 6 weeks old. One doesn't even know who her health visitor is. There is an estate very close to where I live and there are toddlers out playing in the street on their own, some kids running about the street with hardly if any clothes on etc, yet they do not seem to be getting any attention. Though I have a feeling they may have told their Health Visitor to leave them alone as I am led to believe you are allowed to do.

Anyhoo, totally brought off topic (ish) sorry Moddy People.
