Hi,
Posted earlier but thought my title was a bit rubbish.
My DS is 2.5 yo. This time last year, he was put under a specialist as he was not talking much. I thought it might be a problem with his ears but I was told probably not, lets see how it goes. A year on and after numerous genetic testing, blood tests and countless appointments they have decided that he has glue ear and are putting grommets in on friday.
At the moment he has about 5 clear words but can say a number of half words, ca fro cat, ba for bath etc etc and never stops gabbling away in his own little language. He gets very frustrated when we can't understand him or he can't understand us and sometimes he can be a bit of a handful. The leaflet they gave us about glue ear says that children with this are often classed as "naughty children". While he is naughty sometimes, he is also a very easy child other times.
I am unsure what to expect once he has had this operation done. Obviously I don't expect him to start chatting away afterwards, but will he start to learn quickly or will it take longer because he is older. Will he become a little less naughty, will be be able to discipline him more. At the moment he doesn't get the concept of a naughty corner or the reason why I have told him not to touch something. He knows he can't but not why.
Anyone else been through this.
