This came through in mumsnet round up email: www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2011464/Why-dont-need-worried-toddler-struggles-right-words.html
It cites an Australian study that says don't worry if your child seems behind at two he'll have caught up by five.
This is the sort of rubbish that we were fobbed off with. My DS is now 4.5 and a long, long way behind his peers. The DM publishing this sort of thing just serves the interests of health professionals who can't be bothered follow up on child development (IMO).
Anyway the one comment agreeing with this article has loads of thumbs up - please boost the ratings for the two anti comments.
