As someone who talks A LOT and had a lot of great interaction with her child, my child still had a speech delay. Just a reminder for parents, every child is different. Stop putting your child’s successes and failures as a direct compliment or insult to your well-being. If you’re a good parent, you’re always striving to learn more, you’re watching videos like this, you’re finding ways to be a better influence in a child’s life, but every human life is different.
Completely agree.
Absolutely. If a child is ill or has a delay or anything like that, then that it's okay, but the idea is to aim for improvement. :)
Thank youuuuuu
Well said, good reminder that each child is different.
Thanks alot ma'am
I'm autistic and have reading difficulties but that didn't stop me from becoming a successful college student. I'm a good auditory learner.
My son learn from videos bc he is say to be austitic as well. But he sings song but still DNT like talking
@@sonofgodrosalineb435 He's memorizing words from the music but not able to mix them up and create new sentences. Language is not just knowing words but knowing how to put them together. Those are things we learn from other people not from videos.
Piano Man2 my son is Autistic aged 10. He is language deficient apart from other tantrums like self talking and silly laughing but he is high functioning with good health . Kindly advise me whether my son still has the potential to develop considering his age (10) what measures we have to take , respect to his diet , therapies, exercises, etc to improve his ability in his life to excel in all aspects. God has been kind enough to let me interact with people like you . Thank you.
@@sonofgodrosalineb435 I have nearly the same with my nephew. But why does this happen? He is able to sing and follow TV music but won't speak to anyone.
Now I get it 👏
Interact with your child. Talk with your child. Engage with them in play and reading and exploring!

My husband did not go to college yet sounds very educated and has a wider vocabulary than me (who went to university) my parents did not go to college. His parents went to university. He says his father (he graduated from an IV league school) would always read books to him and so he found a love for reading (mostly fantasy) I don’t have memories of my parents reading to me. I remember watching a lot of TV while my husband did not have cable. Long story short read to your baby/child!
I was a very interactive parent to my son he is in the 3rd grade and reads at a grade 6 level. I read to him as an infant I was very much concentrated on my son and I believe that helped with his success 🥰🖤
Success? lol maybe at 6th grade he'll also read at grade 6 level? This search for academic success of children from before they are born is so pathetic.
A bit premature to call it success. Good job for sure, but you have many more years to go
All that reading talk and dialogue you did paid off and will continue to pay off congrats !
@@FruitCakeReaper As long as it is partnered with supportive parenting, its fine to encourage academic success.
@@peekstar When do we determine a person is successful? True that supporting one's self in adulthood is one practical measure, but I'd say a child who loves to read has already reached a point of success as long as he or she is happy and able to relate well to others.
One thing she did not discuss was how important other members of the family were to the developing baby. I lived with my daughter and her husband when both of her daughters were born (at home with a midwife by choice). We all talked and played with both girls from the moment they were born> Other family members were often present and talked and played with them also. I did housework and diapers so my daughter had more time with them to read and garden with or take walks. The important thing at an early age is not how many thousands of words you speak to them, but the interaction, eye contact, touch, and response to their needs, which includes talking outloud to them. My daughter gave away their TV and x-box so that they would not be tempted to just sit around not interacting with their children and vice-versa. They do not watch videos on the computer...they read to them. None of this has anything to do with money or education level.
doula2010 Yea I noticed that too. I think every family member is important especially dad (or the partner)! Mom and baby have a special bond, but any caregiver can help support language development
And the more (healthy) family members the better!
I actually just learned the other day that when parents move back with their families (grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc) with their troubled kid, behavioral problems go down. I think family's really important not just for language development, but for everything really!
My FIL is a great blessing to my now 22 months twins that way. My son has been listening to his stories since he was three months! My daughter loves to sit with him and talk.
In addition, our neighbours spend time regularly just interacting with them.
Extended family is a great blessing for children's development.
Agree. It's the activities and the quality of the interactions that matter.
Yes it is. But parental education is matters for living standard and knowledge about child care, nutrition, and hygiene which all leads child development. When we talk about this we should not focus on individual experience as this only tells us on average or general.
As a speech-language pathologist who works with children in a high poverty school, AMEN!!!
My father worked three jobs and my mother worked two and was severely and debilitatingly mentally ill. She’s been hospitalized ALOT. I was put in LD classes as a child. It all worked out I am now a nurse and although I can say I love to read and I don’t disagree that words are important and talking to your babies is important BUT SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS EFFECTS DEVELOPMENT. Because you can be the most loving parent in the world but if you don’t have time to spend with your baby except about once or twice at night or you are so mentally ill (untreated due to cost) and you are just trying to make ends meet or keep yourself well then that effects development. POVERTY AND INCOME EFFECT DEVELOPMENT. Why does it seem like she is saying that it’s just people aren’t interacting with their kids? Sometimes people don’t have the opportunity to do as much and Georgia is one of the poorest states with high levels of poverty. Maybe if they focus on that and establishing some relief these parent’s would be able to spend more time interacting with their babies.
I could have written this myself... It was a trauma in life that I had to work through and I'm at peace now
I completly agree with you, I dont think that the way she explains it is the good way because that argument can make people think that because they are profesionals and with a good job their kids wont have language problems when the real reason is that even if they have education but if they dont speak to them they will not develop their language properly.
Great points! Mental health and time availability due to economic strife, matters also. Great post!
exactly. people in poverty aren't just choosing to speak to their kids less. they literally have less time to talk to their kids. that's the big difference.
I think she was pretty clear about this. If you don’t have the time to invest in your kids’ development then the impact will be obvious and… not to shame people but not as good.
It's this disappointing that this video was posted 8 years ago and only has 1.2m views, its should have 3 billion views by now, this shouldn't actually be a UA-cam video but content taught to each and every health institution and educational facility
Imagine having her as a grandmother 💖🥰🥰
Wow🌷🌷⚘⚘
Wow, very interesting. I am motivated to interact with my children more. I thought I was doing well but I never realized language had such a profound impact on the children's future!
Same here. It really slapped my face will definitely be more with my kids
Thank you so much !!! This is a real blessing to have this treasure with us.
Very nicely done. This was a good blend of science, practical solutions, and expert advice. I could not agree more that language nutrition is as critical as food nutrition. Thanks for sharing!
Agree, I even played music and sermons to my daughter from when my wife pregnant by putting my studio headphones on my wife's tummy. And kept talking while doing things. She has grown up and got her dream job: Fashion Designer she does is prophetically while active in youth ministry going to places, singing, dancing, writing songs, designing special prophetic dresses, and playing music: drums, guitar, bass, keyboard. And for sure, she likes talking. Thank you for sharing this video.
Yes, indoctrinate them before birth. Bravo.
I would like to state that it's amazing to have good people to take a stand and teach our Mothers & Father's how to be parents to our children, I'm sure that you guys are very much appreciated in the eyes of many
It's not language/more words. Kind interaction with a child empowers it.
Beautifully said. In talking to the baby speak the RIGHT words.
Greatly agree. Have seen and keep selling it to all. Now my great grangchildren. It does make an incredible difference.
thank you so much for uploading this!
I am a single mother of a 3year old. I am a full-time student studying for my bachelor's degree in psychology. I do not work and live off of student loans at the time. I am what Americans would consider a person living in poverty. I would love to see the study data that says that families in poverty speak fewer words to their children than professional families. I agree on the power of vocabulary, and conversation, and I believe that dialogue with children is essential to development. I talk to my son about everything happening, what we see, and what we are doing, and we learn new things together. My son and I are both very intelligent. I grew up in extreme poverty. My son at 3 is highly advanced in language. He knows how to count, and the alphabet, he knows all sight words, some Spanish words, the planets, dinosaurs, cars, and construction vehicles, his vocabulary is immaculate. This will strengthen his development and aid him in the rest of his life, tell me though what does poverty really have to do with it?
I think that is why she said at the beginning that it was not about how much money one has / how many toys one can afford etc…
As a college student you would (for this study) not fall under the poverty umbrella. You obviously had an education and continue to seek one.
She, I believe, talks about the kind of extreme poverty where life goes down to basic survival- where parents are so consumed by worrying about how to pay the bills and put food on he table and, unlike you, don’t have the tools to change their fate in the future. Yours is a temporary one - your child will be considered the child of an academic, but there are people whose poverty is most likely permanent, who cannot teach their kids or give something they didn’t receive themselves. I believe she is talking about them in her poverty category.
@@EloraWood Thank you for your response, I believe you are right. I had not thought of it on that level. It is sad that there is such a thing as permanent poverty. Now I see though how such a thing can and does exist.
Well done! I am a single mum too and sadly couldnt concentrate on " just" my daughter so had to put her in nursery to work. I had barely enough money to buy food but we always had vegetables and spoke/ read together. It is hard to look after a child properly with no support and until society recognises that parenting is a full time job it will stay very hard. My daughter could speak at an early age and being " poor" has nothing to do with money....Her dad comes from a rich background but would happily sit her in front of the TV and feed her junk....These behaviours have nothing to do with money, keep up the good work!!
Human ability to communicate is a blessing. I should have a more sense of duty in caring for my child and
focus on speaking and thinking deeply about the use of language.
My 18 month old doesn't like to sit while I read. She turns pages and looks at the pictures so I've began to ask her what she sees on the pages and ask her to find certain things. If she can't find them, I'll show her and she'll know what it is the next time we go through it. I'm hoping by the time she's 2, she will let me read to her while also looking at the pictures. Awesome talk.
That is how it is at that age. My kids rarely let me read to them ever but they loved hearing my childhood fables from my native country and I talked to them plant as kids. Both graduated from prestigious universities with highest honors.
She shows how important the 1st few months of a baby are! Absolutely very important!
I gather lots of information about language nutrition. Thank you ma'am for your great lecture.
Thank you so much for this talk ♥️
Thank you very much Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald
You are ready a teacher not a doctor alone. Thanks for your clear teaching.
Thanks for your contribution as a professional social worker in children development growth. Language is our priority in communication.
Thank you Dr. Brenda for sharing real knowledge with others. You energy is astonishing. YOU ROCK! Kiss
Also……my son is an only child with just me for the most part during the day. When he was 1, we spent 3 weeks around my BIG family with multiple children. My husband noticed that he was trying to talk more after visiting for 1 1/2 weeks. It is true that children learn words more/faster when spoken to on a regular basis.
With the help of Doctor Isibor on youtube using his Herbal supplement on my 4 year's old son who had speech delay has improved positively and started saying few words and now he can speak fluently
I recommend this video to everyone that has kids. I love it and learned also with my nephews and cousins
I appreciate the research to support the new babies so we can build a strong foundation for the new babies. My question is what do we do to truly support the 70% of Georgia students who are NOT reading at a 3rd grade reading level?
Thank You Doc. Had no idea . I always knew hard wiring but not all these things
This is a so wonderful and inspiring Ted talk. I think talking to our children from the womb and their childhood is the good thing that can happen to their lives. Thank you so much
Yes unless you find out your dad sold you for a tax investment he blew instead of fixing me and my pediatric health disparities But I'm 37. So that wasn't that good
ya know.
Great , motivating and inspiring talk Mam.Appreciate the efforts you have brought forth for the development of kids !
Needed to hear this. my daughter is 18 mo and doesn't really speak. Thought I was teaching her well but obviously need to improve. love this. thank you
Kerri Willis maybe she doesn't talk because you know what she needs and have a higher non verbal congruence with her. my first daughter had a speech delay they called it.. I have five kids and know they all develop at their own pace and my son u cant shut him up..he became the president of his second grade class because he wanted his favorite food rice on the school menu , my third child was first in her kindergarten class and learned to speak Spanish as well by 4 from a day care that was highly speaking Spanish, as for my first who had the delay when she was placed in an early learning classroom there were different stimuli that encouraged learning words through labeling everything that could be labeled ie the door had a tag label door etc..you can do this at home. She is actually more of a reader then a speaker to this day. Then I was instructed to say everything I was doing just for the sake of conversation but we had such a bond i always knew what she wanted and didn't speak much to her but it didn't damage her at all she has such profound insight when she did speak she would say things like after seeing me cry .." After ever storm there's supposed to be a rainbow" at four years old...not fully aware of the problems between her dad and I yet aware of how to effectively communicate her love. new moms worry a lot after hearing things like this and its great to think just words can help yet its more true imo to know in what environment your child thrives in and many environments are available no matter what the income level is as long as the bond is established so they feel secure in their unique self expression. I only intend to send love towards you since I felt similar to your comment at one point.
Kerri Willis how many words a child has at 18 months is no casting stone! It's more about how they use the sounds they have and how they communicate. If you need a boost please watch my video about milestones and if you have any questions please reach out to me. I am a child development consultant wanting to help parents and caregivers out there 💖
This is something to bring to the attention of your pediatrician if she's truly not speaking several words. It also might seem like she's not talking a whole lot, but she might use other forms of communication (gestures, body language, etc.) The key is to encourage the use of WORDS to communicate. You would need a referral to a speech/language pathologist for recommendations for your child specifically.
I wondered how your daughter is doing 4 yrs later. Did you choose intervention like early intervention or anything else or did it work out in the end? I hope you are all doing well.
@@atvalle2049 ❤
my boy grew up in Indonesia with an Indonesian mother who spoke to him in Javanese. funny thing was he never picked up a word of Indonesian but has had excellent English skills from a young age. a lot of his "language nutrition" came form online media and his father (ie me) rather than the indonesian world around him
So good. Such inspiring words
No baby talk! Babies pic up on more than you know, interact in conversation every time they are awake. Start building a library of books from the good will and the dollar store, Read to them befor bedtime, ask them to pick their favourite book and read it to them. Flash card at the dollar store lay them on the floor point to each one and identify them for him to hear and see the picture as he gets older you can now pick the card and when you ask what is on the picture he will try to say the word.They have the ability to learn 7 languages and musical instruments, sports all before the age of seven.I speak from experience my grandson of 3 1/2 is snowboarding, swimming, golfing, gymnastics, loves to read, has a large vocabulary now learning to skate, he has no fear.
I am a Montessori trained guide 0-3 and all I can say is AMEN to everything you just said, I am also a huge promoter to introduce a sign language to babies and toddlers, just to give them another tool to express themselves, when they do understand the language, but cannot speak yet
I agree with dr. Brenda opinion. It was determined by interaction between parents and children.
Just a thought from my analysis on this video is that the computer era has added to the problem with language development in new norms since a lot of jobs are email based and the mothers don’t talk as nearly as much as they use too while pregnant. I would really like to see a study on this to record the amount of speech is being used for different mothers through out the day and compare to others and the results in spiking autism in this country.
You have a point mam- interact with your child in a healthy way !!!
I bought the book and have been using it with my three-year-old. It's a great, basic guidebook that you can follow step by step. The money was well spent.
What's called that Book? Plz
Which book is that?
Love!! A FTM here and I always try to talk to my baby! I read Spanish English books I teach him sign language here and there. I talk to him about what we’re doing and what we can see, I only hope that my sweet boy thrives
Hart and Risleys study of the 1990s had a very small study sample and there were biases. A 2017 study by Jill Gilkerson which was a larger study showed the gap to be 4 million words by the age of 4 years (instead of 30 million). A more recent 2018 study by Douglas Sperry disproved the notion that income alone determines how many words children hear. But developmental psychologists agree that the interaction between caregiver and child is crucial in developing language and the intervention inspired by the '30 million gap study' has pushed the parents in the right direction.
MY MOTHER WAS THE TEACHER IN OUR FAMILY SHE TAUGHT ME AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO READ BEFORE PRESCHOOL.OUR FIRST DAY AT PRESCHOOL WERE READING FIRST GRADE LEVEL BOOKS.
That's awesome lol!
I remember increasing my vocabulary due to listening to a lot of talk radio. Sadly a lot of it was sort of sad, boring, investigative, heavy stuff - so happy they have podcasts now where there is such a massive diversity of interests!
What a beautiful and simple message
👍
Responsive Interaction was very informative, thanks Coxcampus.
Thank you!
excellent talk which is really essential on perfect nurturing children today
Great video,so informative, one thing you completely ignored though is homeschooling! A college education is not all it is made out to be. I am 21 and have owned two thriving businesses for 5 years because my mom and dad were excellent communicators! Homeschooled all the way!
S
Tell us more about your experience please...Thanks a lot for sharing. I am thinking about homeschooling my son.
Yeah it will be interesting to hear from you about your homeschooling experience. Trying to homeschool my kids.
Claims multiple times that income has no effect.
Uses income based trend lines to make a point.
Take your kid into the woods. Let them explore, while talking about the environment they find themselves. Develop a pointing game early in childhood. Let their curiosity guide their enlightenment. Don't listen to what some suit tells you what they think your child needs to know and at what level. As long as you keep the fire of curiosity alive the child will continue to strive to understand that which is unknown.
I think her point was that it doesn't cost parents anything to read/communicate with their children. Yes, higher income families are more likely to do it, but reading/communicating has nothing to do with money.
@Carolina actually it does have alot to do with money. low income family has to work harder and longer, so the time to read/communicate are reduce compare to higher income families.
g2gCthe, I agree with you. Many low income families have to take two jobs to make the rent payment, do not have the many conveniences of having the advanced dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, oven, refrigerator. They do not have a lot of options to eat out if they do not feel like cooking. Many have to take public transportation to go from one place to another. It is a choice to go buy a book or food to eat. Taking kids to libraries is time and effort that they do not have time for, which may be time for them to get another job. It is a bad cycle :(
Yes. The underlying problem to all of societal issues is the loss of buying power to the electorate. Peoples time now holds less value, therefor more time must be sacrificed. More dependence on the state for food, power, transportation, medical care and child care. The intent of which may be well enough but the nefarious actions allowed by the state in the financial markets has turned this country into a bunch of debt slaves incapable of holding onto the family values the country was centered around in the first place. There is no American dream if you have to beg someone to fulfill it. This problem is world wide and effects society in every conceivable way.
this is subjective, you may say that high income families need to direct more time to create and/or sustain hte wealth adn lifestyle, andyu also may say tht working 9-5 leaves little too no room to bond and educate...
at the end it comes to a matter of priority. THE SPECTRAL OF HUMANITY DISSECTS TO PRIORITIES..
absolutely there are people with substantially more tools in their belt than others, but some have built more with their hands than their peers with a hammer...
I wish I could press “like” many times. This is one of the best ted talks ever!
She just described tyre most obvious correlation to income/money that I've ever heard. "Professionals" talk to their kids more?
Initiated to be good with
each other. Teach values and morals
I like her energy😍
This is such a great presentation - so important for the caregivers all around the world!
My senior kindergarten is a great reader, she is reading chapter books at age 5 by now. I taught her to read when she is only 3 years old. Yes it makes a big difference when u start talking to your child when they are newborn.. Goodluck to all parents
Awesome context. Even patents in poverty who have access to this knowledge can offer their child a vocabulary rich environment by accessing free community resources.
yes exactly
Awesome video, great information!
God bless this woman! I needed this information!
very good. love it. learn a lot.
very interesting research, thank you!
Thank you Dr Brenda great interesting and informative message.
Thank you
I’ve been at public spaces with my grandchildren, where there are lots of children and their parents, and most of the parents rarely look at or interact with their children. They’re universally on their cell phones.
Sad but true.
Thank you , this is a powerful conference for my students of Foundations of Development and Literacy.
A child born into poverty, parents, may not dialogue with their children because they are too overwhelmed in poverty...
Although I love this video and her wise lesson, I too thought this is more of first world problems as the poverty have something more serious to engage in.
Great talk!
superb information, simple and powerful!
Valuable sharing about language nutrition
Can you say mic drop-I’ve watch this at least half dozen times and been sharing with everybody-Thank you so much
I love this video, Im training to be a teacher, and this video is just a friendly reminder on how important interaction and communication is to child development!!!!
As a busker listening, I remember how worker class distrust of 'book learning' meant kids being actively discouraged from reading. Just put 'em on the field, talking code and group thinking. I read, and read books by myself, taught by mum at four.
JAMES GRIFFIN
Being that my two boys were taken from me 3 years ago there's a big age difference at least by 11 years I have a 6-year-old and a 17 year old but anyway I wanted to say I sure hope that they are being read to everyday even if it's in silence the morality of the situation will help
Although I agree with her estimates, 42 households are not a large enough sample size to statistically deduce conclusions.
But reading at early age to kids was known even prior to the study
Great information, absolutely needed!
I do have a criticism about wic and the food it pays for. It seems to be mostly highly processed food and not any organic foods.
I do believe we are what we eat!
Early intervention is so important to the child's development and the sooner parents get on board with the idea that they can make a difference the better for the child. So educating the parents is the way to go.
Donna Worthy 100% agreed. But milestones can be flexible and not a casting stone for life.
My first son spoke in paragraphs at 11 months old but didn't read until mid first grade. My second son started babbling at six months, then stopped. He never crawled much either, but walked at 19 months. At 3 he was evaluated at Boston Children's Hospital. He had some delays and some autistic- like behaviors, but was not labeled autistic. Early Intervention provided play therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, out patient and in home. He went to special needs preschool and had an IEP in kindergarten. He read at 4 years old, and at 6 years was helping his teachers fix their computer issues. He went on to earn an MCAS scholarship, but still exhibits some autistic-like quirks.
I raised my second son as I did my first, language-wise. They are both intelligent but took different paths.
Interesting and inspiring
But I do want to say. All of that being said (in my previous comment) spending time with your children is the most important thing as they are developing, especially in the early years. So in that she is right! I have two doctors and one teacher as grown children today and they are great people and A wonderful support to our community and still love their parents!
I thought this talk was fantastic. The concepts are excellent!!! I love the idea that this explains why a mom os so compelled to look at her infant and to the baby and make goofy faces. It is natural to help make a baby develop.
Eye opening!
Makes perfect sense.
That experiment made me cry omg..
I've watched a few of these videos and this doctor seems like she'd be such an amazing teacher.
What a great video! I looked up Talk with your baby on youtube. Is that part of the WIC program? Excellent information. As a daycare owner, I am going to share this with parents.
Excellent video and lesson.
I am not convinced that this is pure causation and not simply a very predictable correlation. ? I'd like some comment on that
Sign Language and Dunsten Baby Language also support vocabulary development. I have a UA-cam Channel and a specific playlist called Baby Perspectives.
What a great Ted talk!
Thank you so much mam
Ive encouraged my little ones to use words simcr little, every tantrum i told her we use words. Not even 2 and she can speak a full sentences, knows shapes, animals, numbers, letters, amazing what just being with your kids will do.
I am more interested in the proposition that those in lower socio ecconomic situations do not speak the same language as the professional. So from a social welfare perspective, the ability of those with power, and their ability to effect social control, need to learn the 'others' frame of communication, in order to effect the change they so desperately seek.
I think she has a good projection here, but you are right, she is missing the explanation of this social situation. I also think their solution is missing a couple of contextual processes. Mothers who are in this "poverty" group may fall into a lot of other roles making it more difficult to fulfill the task of talking to their children as much as the "professional group." For instance, single parent families with one income are more likely to be in a poverty group, and also have half of the adults talking to children. Furthermore, working labor intensive jobs, odd hours, more hours, and the stress of making ends meet take away opportunities to do so. You can't address the cycle and say, "hey look, you can fix it, all you have to do is A,B, and C like these other people. Let me teach you!" Without considering the barriers to them actually implementing AB&C.
according to my personal experience, children in lower socio economy to be harder focused well on their study coz they have to share the same burden with their's single parent. my sad childhood is a nightmare, but it's sending me eager study in university with my education bachelor be a teacher for early child student improve their capable with love, it helps me throw away my nightmare
Poor people are too worry about how to bring food to the table so how they can talk more with their kids, it’s totally understandable
@@karinatampoe2240}
Not sure about those stats... I have several friends who are “professionals “ and because of their work , they spend minimal time with their kids! The kids spend more time with the nanny. Some of them speak better Spanish now than English! 😳
This point came to my mind and I wondered
The nanny probably interacted well with the children
@@valquiriapereira9749 a Little too much.
Also autism delays language and it occurs at the same rate across the socio-economic scale.
I e been worried about my 2yr4mnth old who is struggling with pronouncing c and s still. He pronounced Ch clearly today. Even if he can't pronounce something he knows what it is and he tries but it's good to know I just need to talk more to him because to be honest I'm not the most talkative person, I do talk a lot to my boy but I'm now inspired to talk even more
Love it, thank you!
Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald correctly describes how much mental reasoning and brain development occurs during pregnancy and in the first four years of a baby's life. More vocabulary exposure and conversations during this time clearly affects the person for the rest of his or her life. However, she almost sounds as if such is an extremely huge factor in getting people out of poverty and overemphasizes just the vocabulary exposure aspect of cognitive development.
Wow ma'am great knowledge, great message, just love it... am educationist and early childhood professional... found so useful what you talked ❤👍💯
Speechless presentation mam...I absolutely agree with on this matter.I appreciate you very much.Thank you Mam...
