LATE TALKER TRAVEL NOTES: Behavior Follows Language-Age

In this series, Mary presents considerations that optimize the real everyday decisions families make as they discern their next steps forward. The essence of each "Travel Note" is meant to provide parents grounding and practical considerations to move forward in a sea of unfamiliar terminology, an assemblage of professionals, and uncertainty. Each "note" will help you move forward in your ability to guide your child's path forward.
This episode sheds some light on the relationship between behavior and your child's language; how well they can put their thoughts and feelings into words! Please come join us and let us hear your ideas and input! Always remember, you are uniquely capable of creating the best journey forward for all concerned!

This is very reassuring. The behaviour makes my son seem very immature compared to peers but actually he seems less delayed in situations where he can communicate well. Conflict situations cause the behaviour but I guess they require sophisticated communication so no wonder.
