Signs of developmental challenges emerged on her 3rd birthday when Rainy hid from an entertainer. She demonstrated prolonged avoidance of other children and discomfort in social settings. Despite being encouraged by a pediatrician, Rainy struggled with tummy time and failed to meet significant developmental milestones, such as babbling words by 18 months. After her birthday incident, parents recognized the need for specialist consultation to address her behavioral and developmental concerns, marking a pivotal realization during her early childhood journey.
During Rainy's first 3 years, we had noticed that she avoided other kids, struggling to handle the sounds, excitement and demands of group play.
That night, my partner Johnny and I understood something we never had before: Our daughter wasn't just shy or quirky.
Rainy was failing tummy time... sensory issues are usually the culprit when a baby can't perform the appropriate tasks.
We were the only couple in our group whose 3-month-old failed to reach for an object while engaging her core.
