Children with "Einstein Syndrome" | www.agentsofspeech.com/micro

All right, guys, today we're gonna talk about. I'm just gonna check if my audio is working. Yes, it is. Yeah. Today we're gonna talk about Einstein syndrome. And I see that Nabil is already beat everyone to the mark and asked a question in the comments. So before we go ahead, I'm just gonna answer a question because it's kind of related. Okay? So high functioning autism before, in a few years ago, actually more than a few years ago, when it was DSM 4 instead of DSM 5, which is the diagnosis handbook for all the stuff that you see like language disorder, speech disorder, whatever, like adhd, asd. We all use like DSM to diagnose, right? We do need a book literature to tell us how to make a diagnosis. So. So back then, high functioning autism was basically what we call Asperger's syndrome. Okay. And what that really means is that after DSM 5 came out, and then we start to call it a spectrum disorder, meaning there. It could be a whole spectrum, like a line, like a. You guys heard of the light spectrum, right? There are seven colors. That's a lie. There's actually nearly an infinite number of colors, Right? So for autism as well, there's a nearly infinite way of seeing, like, different types. Like, it's just different personalities, different ways that autism expresses on a person. So high functioning autism basically just means that, oh, they're able to. They don't have a lot of problems in their cognitive ability. They might be. They might be able to talk a little more than, you know, other children who are on the spectrum. They don't have a lot of language problems, they don't have a lot of speech problems, but they have more of a problem in socialing. All right? At least that's what I think. When I see that on my sheet of paper that comes from a referral, I'm like, oh, high functioning autism. Ah, maybe I don't need to do as much language stuff. I don't need to do as much speech stuff. Rather, I need to do a lot more social, you know, like, language use, function, that kind of stuff to teach a child how to cooperate with other people. Okay, so that's a good start to our conversation today about Einstein syndrome. What it is, right? So why we're going to talk about this is because you guys all know that, you know, I do place ads on Facebook about our micro course. So if you haven't, you should go check it out as well right here. I have no shame about this because it's good stuff. So agents of speech.com micro. Grab the micro course if you haven't. So I do run ads for that. Right? So in the beginning, there was a comment about, oh, didn't Einstein start talking at 5? And then I'm like, okay, I didn't know about it. So I searched, and apparently it's something called Einstein syndrome. I never heard of it until that day. Why? I went on Facebook and someone said to me that, hey, Einstein started to talk of five. Why worry about. Why worry about a child not talking? Right? So, yeah, there's a rumor, I'm not sure if it's true or not, that children. Like when Einstein was a child, he didn't talk in sentences until he was five. He didn't. He wasn't able to, like, say a lot of things until he was much older. But he was good with, like, numbers and whatever. You know, the typical, like, genius and disguise kind of, like, story. Right. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, then great. But we're going to talk about Einstein syndrome, and I read more into it. So basically, Einstein syndrome is coined by an author. He wrote a book, basically, if you just search for it, you can see on Amazon. And what he really meant was that, hey, there are children out there who are being mislabeled as whatever. So he uses Einstein syndrome as a way to express late talking. All right. Late talking and late talking. There's a definition for it. I'm not going to define it right here because it just takes one Google search to find that. So don't have me say it here. All right, so the late talking just means that, oh, they're not. The whole name has the premise of telling, of suggesting to everyone that the child will, in fact, catch up. Right. So given that. Given that Einstein syndrome also goes on the same thing. Okay. That children would catch up. They're actually even more intelligent and better than average children of their age. As they grow older, they will become, like, somewhat of a genius in some domain, like some subject. Right? So Einstein syndrome is not. Is not in any other literature that I try to find from a. From research, part academic, part, you know, textbooks, whatever it was, it was more like just from that book that has been coined or shall we say, defined. Right. So what are my thoughts about it? So ever since that day, that person talked, this. This guy basically said on Facebook about, hey, children will talk in their own time. Yeah, I think so as well. Right. How about Einstein? He started at 5, right? He started talking at 5. But you have to Remember, are all late talking children like Einstein, right? I don't think so. Okay. So sorry to pop. I'm not trying to put down anyone, right. I'm not trying to pop any mother's dream about their child. Right. Obviously, I've seen a lot of children who become very, very talented. You know, I've never had a doubt about children will, you know, they'll improve and learn a lot. Right? I never have a doubt. Or else why am I doing this job? Right? It's impossible for someone who has a, you know, as a. Has a really bad outlook. You know, I see a kid and then some. Some people will say, ah, he'll never amount to anything. I'm not that kind of person. If I were that, then why am I doing what I'm doing, right? If everyone's doomed already, then my job would have no value. Right? So. Oh, hi, Good morning, Eileen. I was just talking to you. Right? So. Yeah, I'm not saying that, but not everyone is Einstein, right? Really, there isn't. You know, if everyone was, then, you know, we. We would be much more. Maybe we would be using flying cars. Maybe, I don't know, we'd be having, like, not through the webcam. I don't know. I might be like, maybe there wouldn't even be a coronavirus if everyone was like, Einstein level smart. Right? But anyways, what I'm trying to say here is this, all right? The problem about people saying about Einstein syndrome is too much of an upside, okay? And I'm not saying that you guys should be very, like, how to say, very pessimistic. Because I'm from a country. I'm sorry, I'm from a city that is very pessimistic and very realistic. So actually, I have a friend whose sister is like, you know, very high up in a special needs center. So she would get phone calls from parents who haven't even had their children born yet, you know, and then they would start saying, like, they would start saying, oh, did you guys have space for us? And then my friend's sister would say, how old is your child? And then the parent, the mother would say, oh, he's not born yet. So, you know, I come from this kind of background, so I'm telling you that I'm not that pessimistic. I'm not telling you to be pessimistic either. What I'm telling you to is to understand that it could go many different ways. You know, children grow up in different, different ways. Right. You cannot expect someone who is, you know, of Einstein intellect to always excel and become like a scientist or whatnot. In fact, like the world's smartest person. If you like go online and search, like the person in America with IQ 200 something. He's a farmer, right? He's a farmer. Thinking about like the unit, like theories about the universe, which is great, a great use of his intellect. But you know, in common culture, like in our minds, that's a waste, right? But what I'm saying is, even if it were the fact that, you know, it's Einstein syndrome or whatever doesn't mean anything. It really doesn't mean anything because it's always about, as I always say, right? It's all about like dealing with risk, like managing risk. What if? What if? So I think Nabil just said, like high functioning autism, okay? So if we don't take the measures now, what if that down the line, if you don't intervene with their particular behavior, they get bullied and then it becomes a scar into their lives, which I've seen in a lot of adult autism adults. I have seen that before. Okay. And also, if, even if they're high functioning, right, if they're not so lucky, that's, you know, by the time, you know that the definition of Einstein syndrome is like, I'll search it right now it's pretty crazy to say that. And a lot of parents say, oh yeah, that's my kid, that's my kid. Right? So basically Einstein's syndrome is a condition where a child experiences late onset of language or late language emergence. Some even say that, you know, it's a late poly training or whatever, which is all speech delay. Kids come on and demonstrate gifted in other areas of analytical thinking, right? And then they're better with numbers and better with letters and remember a lot of stuff. And hey, that actually, that actually describes a lot of children on the spectrum, right? I mean, how many of you of your kids can like recite ABC and count to 1 to 30 or something, right? And then, and then at the end of the day when they want something, they pull your hand. Yeah, so that is a problem here. You cannot say something. So you cannot define a syndrome so broadly. And then parents or whoever, uncles, aunties, like grandpa, grandpas will say, ah, my kid is like Einstein. No, Einstein didn't speak until he was five. He could remember numbers. My kid does it as well, comes to 30, like, remembers all the ABC, puts everything in order, very analytical, knows how to, you know, open iPad and go to YouTube. Hey, that's nearly all children who love YouTube. Even if they're non verbal. You give a non verbal kid an iPad, they will go to YouTube some way somehow. And one of my. When I'm in Indonesia right now, right. One of the first clients I had in Indo and in Indonesia was a. Was a girl who's like 12 or 11. I cannot remember her age, but she cannot speak. Okay. If I tell him to go, ah, she will go like that. I don't know what's going on. Okay. But then she can type Mickey Mouse on the iPad and find it. So is she Einstein syndrome? I don't know. I really don't know. Okay, so let's see about what everyone is saying. So. Oh, hi. Hi. Hi. So she says, have you provided therapy to any Einstein's syndrome kids? I don't know. I cannot identify any. Right. Hi. I really don't know. Right. So hi says, I know my kid can stay open. So today when I take him out for a while at the conditions he said open, we all dress and went out. Oh, great. Hey, so let me know if you learned that from the micro course. Most probably, yes. Right, yeah. So Nabil says, I've seen difference. Only therapies given. I don't understand what that means. Nabil, I've seen that. Oh, so you only seen like an improvement after the therapy given to her daughter. Right? Yeah. So Aileen says most boys just want to play. He doesn't know l letters or numbers or shapes. My son and grandson just want to play. Yeah, I know, right? I mean, Aileen would know. She's. She used to be a teacher. Right. She would see so many of these kids. But from my perspective is that all I see are the ones who are in need of therapy. So to be very honest with you, those who are on the spectrum, those who are very common. It's very common. I'm not saying that all kids who line up alphabets and cars and stuff and play with wheels are on a spectrum. That's not true. I've seen like children grow out of it by six, you know, who are totally normal. You know, I used to line up cars as well, and I still remember that. I do. So when I see it, I'm like, I thought it was normal, but to some extent it really, like it is a common thread in children on the spectrum that they like to line up things, like to put things in order, like to put puzzle pieces the right place, you know, get mad if someone messes up their line or they cannot do what they wanted to put the ABC in a whole straight line. And someone messed it up or something, you know, so you gotta be vigilant and think about. And I know that as a parent, actually, I don't know. Okay? I really don't know. I cannot, like, totally empathize with you guys because I'm not in that situation. Right. But I can only guess. I can only guess that if someone, you know, this is happening to you, that, you know, your child is speech delayed and you hear something like, oh, it's Einstein syndrome. Einstein only started talking at 5. Then you would think, oh, yeah, that's like my. My son or my daughter. And you would start thinking towards, ah. Then I can like, slow down. Right? But as you know, like Nabil just said, you can only. She only saw the difference when therapy started. And just because of what people say about, oh, kids will. Will, you know, will catch up, will grow out of it. Well, whatever. He's a genius and like, playing piano or like, whatever in music. That doesn't mean anything. You need to. You really need to need to reduce the risk of everything that comes in your child's development. You know, you really need to reduce it. You need to go to therapy. You know, listen to like professionals. Maybe if one doesn't do the right thing, then, you know, go to another one, get a second opinion, keep on asking, keep on getting them to, you know, getting more and more treatment and intervention. Okay? If everyone says that it's good, they can leave, then hallelujah. Just, it's the time to go. Right? The main goal of therapy, in my opinion, is to get you discharged. Right. I don't want to see you anymore. Yeah, I don't. That means I'm successful and we're successful together. I don't want to keep clients. That's not my goal. Okay. So by the way, if you want to know about more how to interact with your kid at home, if you know your kid is around like zero words to one word, but inconsistently, or there's a lot of hand pulling, then you need to go to agentsofspeech.com micro. It's also in the description, so click it or in a title. Right. So. Hi. Sex today. I was about to take my kid out. We got dressed ready. Oh, I read this already. My bad. So she's. Normally he cooperates and say what I asked him to say while being bribed. But today is not one of the days. Yeah, it's. It goes up and down. Right? So. Hi. And other, like, people who have gone through the micro course, just a little a public nudge. Is that the membership that we were talking about in the previous live that is closing on the 1st of April, so just 1, 2, 3, maybe 3 days now. 3 days until we close. And the reason we're closing is because we want to create a greenhouse. Right. To help you as much as we can, until we find that. Okay. This method works. Okay. It works on a small scale. Right. If you guys have ever seen, you know, on our YouTube channel about the video about tenure. She's one of the people who I teach online and there's a whole load more, but she's very kind to say yes to for us to share her story. It works for me to review your videos. It works for me to give you specific tasks, but you have to go through the micro course to understand the basics of how to interact, talk, and teach children who are delayed or on the spectrum or whatever. Right. Okay. So Nabil says, today my daughter came back from home from park and said, mama, I played in the slide. I'm so happy she started reporting. Yes. So to give you a little more context, actually, you can come home and ask her to. You can write, you can draw out what she did and just now and tell her to report according to a visual cue. That'd be much easier in. In my experience, I think. Yeah. So let's talk a little bit more about this Einstein syndrome. I mean, there are some videos out there that say, yeah, it's true that, you know, children are. Some children are very gifted in certain places, and speaking and language is not their strong suit. Right. But if children don't learn how to interact and speak, then how are they going to communicate with the world that they have got something going on? You know, and to succeed in this world isn't just about having immense talent. Right. You also have to be able to. To interact with other human beings. Okay. And sometimes, all right, not every time is that children who are delayed are much better at interacting with adults than with their peers. And if somehow they're, you know, and that's why we call it a disorder. Right. It shouldn't be even called Einstein syndrome, Einstein disorder, because it's. It's basically like out of order. The language and speech aren't that great, but they're good at something else, then it's out of order, man. I mean, you're not supposed to be good at drawing or piano or whatever that they're good at or whatever artistic or scientific prowess that they have. Before you start talking, you need to start talking first and then use language to think and then Whatever. That's the developmental norm. To go out of the norm is actually a disorder. I'm not saying that going like. I'm not saying that following a norm is a good thing either. But for children or human beings who are just developing. Right. To follow a norm is very normal. Being redundant here. Okay, so let's see. Eileen says, I had a student who had a gifted writer. She also had a disability in math. Yeah. So some people would label that as a learning disorder. Right. So. Or difficulty. That's what they would call it. But we wouldn't go ahead and say like, oh, that's a genius syndrome. It's like Einstein. No, it's just people are good at some things. People aren't good at some things. Right. And when people, when children aren't very good at talking, they tend to lean upon what they're good at. And that's what I think. Right. That's why when. When they're anxious, they need something that they. Within their comfort zone. And we were talking about tantrums in the previous video that we uploaded. Right. And why they become like they suddenly tantrum for no reason? Well, sometimes when they tantrum as well, they. They're trying to seek a comfortable place that they know about as well. You know, it might be a blanket, it might be going to a certain place in the house. Right. Might be playing with a certain toy. Might be that they keep on asking for their pacifier. I've seen it a lot. They might be asking for a hug from you, which is very familiar. Right. So these familiar things might be stuff they're very good at already. Okay. And it's places where they go to escape and cope with the world, given that they don't really understand much from the language. Right. So I don't know. Are late talkers smarter? I am not sure about that. It definitely is not a true statement. I would like to think. Right. Some people say that bilingual children are smarter, but I don't, you know, it depends on, on the culture as well of the, of the country. So with that being said, I think that pretty much covers my opinion towards this sort of talk about Einstein syndrome or whatever, or late talkers are smarter. They just. They just have. They just don't have a way in the, in the normal society to express their intelligence and genius. I don't really think that's the thing. What I really think is your focus as a parent or as a therapist or as a teacher. We shouldn't focus on the best case scenario at all. You should always focus on the worst case scenario. And then try to mitigate from that, right? And try to provide as much help as you can down the road. And if we can, we should give them everything that we can afford. We can, we can put our resources to, and I don't mean money or like therapy. The most important thing you can give is their time, right? Is that you learn how to interact with children who are delayed and will get upset if they can't express themselves. Right? How do you teach them? How do you talk to them? How do you give them quality time to learn language so that they can express themselves to you later on? Okay. It's not about thinking, oh, I don't need to care. Einstein syndrome, especially the dads would tell me that. And I remember that back in the day in Hong Kong, you know, I was working in the private clinic. So throughout the whole road, I think I've said this before, right? That the whole, the whole. If you've been to Hong Kong, I used to work on Nathan Road, which is a very busy road. If it's in Singapore, it's kind of like Orchard Street. Not really. Not really. But anyways, it's very long road. So there working. I was the one speech therapist with the lowest amount of experience. Everyone was there like 20 or 10 plus years. I was there like since I graduated, right. I still had like two, one or two years of ABA in my belt. Right. But that didn't help me a lot, you know. But what I wanted to tell you is that when parents asked me about, oh, do late talkers catch up? Don't get, don't boys just typically speak like older or like they must be some kind of genius because a lot of geniuses don't talk as well. And then they would give me very Asian examples like J. Chow. I mean like people used to thought he was autistic. Look at him now, he's like super senior or something. You guys from the US Might not have heard of J. Chow. But anyways, that's the kind of talk I used to receive from these parents, especially from the dad, right? So I don't know, let me answer some questions and I'm going to call it a night. All right, so let's see. So Asma says, does your course help with behavior issues? Depending what your behavioral issues are, if your child gets in, gets in the tantrum, wanting something especially, and they're hand pulling and they're crying and whatever, then it's going to help for sure, right? Because that's the most common problem that I encounter. At the clinic. So I wrote it inside the micro course. Okay? So Joy says, what are the characteristics of a child that has an Einstein syndrome? Yeah, I talked about it already, Joyce. You can go back, But I'm saying that Einstein's syndrome isn't true, isn't real. That's what I'm trying to say, okay? There's no scientific evidence, number one. Number two is, even if it is, so what, right? You still have to go to speech therapy. Don't think about it in that way. And inside our. We've got two courses, right? One micro course and one intro that goes in more detail, more in depth. In the intro, we do talk about, like, don't mind the diagnosis for now. And I'm sure that there are parents out there that are saying, oh, dude, what do you mean by don't think about the diagnosis? It's like finding out the reason why my child is like this, right? Well, I'm telling you to don't think about that, because what you need to do is the same. You still have to teach them how to interact with you. The goal of speech and language hasn't changed. And all you have made the diagnosis was for yourself. If now I'm talking about language, not speech. If we're talking about, like, speech and language, my cat nearly turned off the computer. Okay? So where was I? Yeah, so I'm not talking about, like, speech disorders like pronunciation, articulation, phonologic, phonological disorders. Then you got to know the reason and the diagnosis. But we're talking about learning language, like putting sentences together, you know, learning new vocab and whatever. The strategies are all around the same, all right? It doesn't matter if your child has Einstein syndrome, okay? Or, you know, any other syndrome, like Obama syndrome, I don't know, making stuff up now. It doesn't matter. Whatever it is, the strategies for language development and teaching language are. Are the same. No matter if your child is on the spectrum or not. There are some universal language facilitation strategies that work across the board, right? It works, right? And we. We. I mean, speech therapists in general, we have had a very robust base of evidence for that. Okay? Anyone who wants to read about it, you can just ask me. DPM me, okay? I'm gonna send it to you. And also, the second thing most important for language development is actually parental involvement, okay? If you don't. If you don't model language, nothing, no one will learn a language. If, you know, in the tribes of Africa, right? There was. There was one linguist who went There to learn the language. They all thought it was like language was based on a theory. I'm going to make you guys sleep now. But they all thought language was based on some sort of universal thing inside their brain. You know, universal grammar. That was inside our brain. We had a unique language learning mechanism. Right. But when he went there, they didn't talk at all. No language was taught, was was said. It was never modeled. No one learned language. In the end, the language only came when the opportunity came up, which was when they were hunting and their language was whistling. And the pattern of whistling told people where to go, how to go, like how to attack together. And therefore that person came up with Africa's name already. Sorry, I read stuff and I forget. So, like he came up with a theory that is very similar to what we think, right? Like about language facilitation. Right. Language is about the culture, the use of what we're using right now, the context. And when we use it, like if we're using it for hunting, when we use it, then we will remember for it. When we don't use it for hunting, they don't even talk at all. Okay, so that's enough of theory. Okay. Yeah. So, Eileen. Yeah. The story about Einstein was not proven to be true. I really don't know. That's why I said I never heard of it. Right. You could say anyone famous that didn't speak until 5 and then use it as a syndrome. Right. That's what I'm talking about. Okay, so hi says, what are the new course that you're planning to provide A new feature. Yeah. So hi, remember that we were on the zoom call, right. Only for micro course people. Right. So all the new courses will be in the membership. It's going to go from like, remember the four stages from no words, like first words to word combining to verbal reasoning, like answering why, how questions to storytelling, and then we're going to cut it there. Those are the four stages. We're going to have courses on and for the membership, you need to be in the micro course. I'm only talking to high here. All right, just a nudge. Going to close on April 1st and then I don't know when we're going to open again. Probably we're going to upload everything, get everything into place, get parents results, teach you guys, give you guys feedback and then think about if we can afford having more parents inside, actually. All right, so Jeanne says my daughter was diagnosed with language delay. I'm thinking to enroll her to reading class. Do you think this Will help a lot. Or should I enroll her to speech therapy? And said, obviously, of course I am. I'm very. You're asking a speech therapist, right? Of course it's going to be speech therapy. And the reason why is because reading comes after, okay? I always say it, if you were Chinese, it would very. It'd be very easy to describe to you in Chinese. We always talk in four word proverbs, right? So when it comes to learning, we always say like, like listening, speaking, reading, writing, right? There's a chronological order, okay? The English way of saying it is that children, when they're in kindergarten, right, they're learning to read. And then when they're in primary school, they're reading to learn. But you can't, especially in English, you cannot read if you don't understand the phonics, right? You cannot read if you don't understand the words. So obviously you have to talk first. So obviously you have to go to speech therapy first, right? So in terms of reading, there are three parts to reading. Number one, you have to decode it. The sound, you have to look at the, the letters, you have to remember it to the phone phonetic sound. And you also have to match that to a real world concept, right? So there's three, three, like three stuff to it. So if you don't like, speech therapy isn't just teaching you how to talk, you're also learning like a code, like the language, the sound for a certain object, right? So if you teach them how to read cup, you're doing a few things at the same time. You're teaching them the set of characters, letters. Sorry, I'm speaking. Speaking English letters. C U, P. Right, right. All the phonetics, that's already one thing. And then you're teaching her the meaning of it. So it's infinitely harder to teach someone when they don't know what it means. A very easy example I always say in this live, is that I'm in Indonesia, I'm learning Indonesian. Someone tells me how to say toothpick in Indonesian, which is tusuk. Gigi took me forever until I suddenly. My wife told me that, you know, tusuk is to pierce. And Gigi is like the teeth and the pierce teeth. Very easy to remember now remember. And now I know how to write it. I know, I know how to read it. And I also know how to generalize it. So when I say see on the street, it says Dr. Gigi. It means dentist, apparently. So it's pretty easy. So you cannot skip speech therapy because especially if she's language delayed already? If she's being diagnosed with language delay, you must go to speech therapy. And I'm saying this, of course, very, very, very skewed and very, very. What's that called? What's that? What's that word I'm trying to find because I'm a speech therapist, right? I'm going to say that of course you need speech therapy. So obviously maybe the wrong person to ask, Right? Hopefully you understand do not teach reading before they know how to at least speak in a sentence. That's what I think. All right. If you teach them to read something, it's going to be just 100% memory, right? Yeah, Aileen, that's right. She knows what she's talking about. It's good to have a teacher here to reinforce what I'm talking about. Right. So listening, reading, writing are all parts of a subject called language, right? So yeah, you gotta, you gotta, like there are studies where they talk about how listening and speaking are developmentally before reading and writing. And you think about human culture, right? Human, us, right? We know how to speak something. Say something doesn't mean we know how to write it out. Right? And the written language hasn't been. It didn't even, it wasn't even invented, right? We knew how to speak, but we didn't know how to write at all until some guy apparently is invented in China and some Egyptians knew how to record it down with like pictures and stuff, right? So yeah, obviously you got to learn how to talk and listen first. And by the way, sometimes talking can help a lot with speaking. I'm sorry? Oh, what the hell. Speaking can help a lot with like listening. Okay. So if you can talk in like a sentence that varies and have contrast, it means that most probably you can understand sentences with that amount of elements inside. So what I'm talking about is like, if you can speak and like subject, verb, object, right? So for instance, Ming is talking, right. Then most probably that child can understand a similar structure when he or she is listening. Okay. Yeah, cool. So, yeah, right. I'm so sorry if I'm getting it wrong. Yeah. What is Einstein's term? Only human in earth, right? Everyone's a human. We all want to try to be the best version of ourselves. There are risks involved, especially when you know your child isn't speaking early on time, maybe sometimes late, then you need to think about how to mitigate that risk. And even though your child does look like that sounds like, oh, yes, it's high functioning autism or, you know, it's asperger's syndrome or Einstein syndrome or whatever people say about the diagnosis, we still have to keep our heads down to work. Because to be honest, even typical children, neurotypical children, are having it hard studying, right? You still have to put them through, like, you still have to teach them yourselves and stuff, right? And that's all I wanted to say. I just thought that this kind of labeling for Einstein syndrome might be true and might not be true. But we're not here to think about that. We're thinking about what we can do specifically, practically, right now on this earth, right now, right? Like, we cannot control whether our children will be any syndrome or whatever. Okay? So that's all for tonight. Thank you all for tuning in. All right? And for those people who haven't, you should join the micro course to understand how you should talk to your children who are delayed, okay? If your child is typically developing, whatever, don't join. Okay? All right. So. And also for those who are in the micro course, we, our membership. The membership teaches you and you know to teach your child from zero words to, like, telling stories. At least that's what I'm trying to do. I'm not promising it, but the main feature is that you can video your child and then send us the video privately and we will go through it on zoom together. Okay? So if you. That closes on the 1st of April. But you must have gone through the micro course because without the mindset and the soft skills that you must have with the child who is delayed, it'll be impossible for if. Yeah, you know, if I tell you. Okay, listen, you have to teach your child with flashcards now. Please teach them like, I don't know, the. The sentence structure of the horse is drinking water. You don't. You haven't even, like, explained it. Your child already ran away, right? Behavior always comes before teaching something, okay. Attitude before teaching anyone anything, right? That's why, you know, if you go, like to learn kung fu, right? The first thing that you, the sifu or the master teaches you is to get your attitude right. So same for teaching a child to speak. You got to get them to understand the task. Get them to understand your. What you want from them. Keep them in check. Make sure that you know how to manage the behavior, that they're not throwing tantrums or not whining or whatever, actually doing the task and learning from you. That's very important. So it doesn't matter whatever I tell you what, I can give you all the what tos and like, what nots, but if you don't know how to talk to your child and instruct them and get them under instructional command impossible to teach. Okay, so that's all for tonight. Let me real quick see. Oh, yeah. Yep, that's true. The $9 one. Yeah, that's for the. That's the micro course. And the membership is also $9 per. Per month though, because we have to go through the videos and we're building it together. Okay, but the membership is only if you've joined the. The micro course. Okay, guys, so that's all for tonight. Actually, I was. I'm pretty like touched by the amount of people who have joined the membership for now. Okay. Actually, as of today, There are nearly 20 people who are on. So that's pretty cool. So as we grow that community inside that we learn from each other, it's going to be pretty cool. And I'm pretty excited about what we can do together. Okay, so if you haven't seriously go check out the micro course. Someone said, I'll put the screenshot next time. They said, I bought like a $800 course from another speech therapist and mine was easier to understand and much like actionable. So I'm not trying to compare. I don't even know who I'm comparing, who she's comparing me to. Right. So anyways, that's all for tonight and I'll see you next week Monday. Um, and for those in the micro course, our monthly Q and A is coming up on Wednesday night at 9. 9pm okay, Wednesday night at 9pm that will probably be on Facebook, our members group, and probably also on Zoom for those who don't have Facebook. That's all. Thank you so much and I'll see you soon.
