Blog Focus Child resources in Durham Region.

Okay so things with me have been a little distracting lately. I have had so much on my mind with school and just when my assignments are coming to an end, my son gets sick. It is not that serious, he has had the same ear infection for 2 months now and this is our third course of antibiotics if this does not work then we need to look at tubes in his ears. The worst thing about all this is that we have been noticing a lag in his speech for some time, now we are told maybe he is not hearing right. We will be having a hearing test and where placed on the very LONG waiting list for speech pathology. I have also started to notice some behaviour problems, if we go to play group he just wants to run, if we try to sit in circle time he screams like I am killing him. The doctor says it could be anything for behaviour from ear pain to ADHD to who knows what. I am freaked out. I should not have to wait months to get help for my child. He does have some verbal communication and a lot of non verbal so I am sure we can help him, when we get THERE. So the focus of this blog will be on parent resources for preschool children and toddlers in the Durham region. I will post anything I find out and I am persistent. If you have any info please share it in the comment section. Anything helps.

My daughter has had the same ear infection again and again for the past 6 months. She has had about 4 different antibiotics, but it keeps coming back. It is frustrating, I don't really want her to get tubes either. I understand about circle time. It's so hard to find good information. Great site!!
