Hello fishes
Being Scrum Master what are the requirements from Capgemini or Clients to put me to Onsite role? (Either it may be Certifications, Qualifications, External factors or any challenges anybody faced surprisingly)
Please help me here to understand, as there's discussions going on and I don't want to let go this opportunity!Capgemini

Good lord. Your son is developmentally perfectly normal. I vs you is a tricky concept, many kids at his age just refer to themselves in the 3rd person. For all you’ve said his language is advancing normally to very well.
Seriously - shame on your friend for suggesting otherwise. Do they have kids?!
I know right?! People are so quick to label little kids. This mom shaming sucks
He’s only 2.5 - still building vocabulary, word repetition is normal at this age. They sometimes do it just to ensure getting it right.
I think it’s adorable that he’s choosing your outfits! Don’t be concerned. Big hugs to you mama

Aw I’m sorry you feel guilty. It’s so hard to know unless you have specialized training! I will say if it alleviates your concerns, just get checked! Nothing wrong in doing that. We were in a similar situation with my child (not the same behaviors, just wondering if there was something going on and debating how much to push).

He has a very good eye contact while talking, says hi to kids in the park if I tell him to, has done parallel play on a play date but doesn’t participate in any group classes we take him. I am going to pediatrician in a week but I am super concerned and feeling guilty for missing any signs. Just want to hear other moms thoughts and what other things I should monitor so that the discussion with pediatrician is useful

My youngest is about the same age, just curious what you are getting him checked for?

My son is three and he does basically everything you mentioned. I try to throw “me versus you” lessons in randomly because he definitely has trouble. He’s not demanding of the clothes I wear, but he absolutely wants many things around him to be a certain way, routine and predictable, and he will have a meltdown sometimes if he doesn’t get his way.
I was pretty worried that *I* had missed something since you could be describing my even older child! But he started Montessori preschool a few weeks ago, and his teacher has over 20 years of experience. She hasn’t mentioned anything concerning to me, and I assume she would know if he had warning signs.
Oh mom :( I’m sorry you feel guilty for missing any signs. We all miss things because it’s a struggle to just stay on top of it every day without being extra sensitive to other things too. Please don’t blame yourself.
He sounds fine but you know best if you feel something is “off”, and a pediatrician will help assure you or validate any concerns.
But really, please, whatever it turns out to be if it IS anything, please don’t feel bad. We go through enough without giving ourselves enough grace.
He sounds perfectly normal to me. If you’re worried, ask your doc but nothing you said sounds abnormal for me at this age.
