Five red flags that signal your preschooler may need extra help catching up. An interview with veteran educator and language pathologist Holly De Leon.
Speech delay: If a parent says “Oh, here’s a ball,” the child should be able to say “ball”, even though they might not say a full sentence. And it should sound somewhat similar to what the parent says. But if what the child says is unrecognizable, then that’s a problem.
Language delay: Very low vocabulary skills. The child has very few descriptors. So, even if the child knows the word “ball”, the child will not be able to say “big red ball” because they don’t have those descriptors. When the child should be speaking in 6-, 7- and 8-word sentences, these children will be speaking in 2 or 3-word utterances.
Inability to hold multiple tasks in memory: Is the child unable to remember and carry out a command containing multiple tasks?
Pattern non-recognition: “Circle, square, circle, square, circle… If the child cannot say what comes next that’s a red flag.
Insufficient word exposure: In their developmental years, children need to hear about 21,000 words each day being spoken and used in sentences by family, teachers, and other sources such as computer-assisted teaching aids in the home and in the classroom.
John Rush and Steve House take a deep dive into the many factors of Covid and how the Biden Administration is using this to control social media and unlawfully claim that an emergency use authorization vaccination is safe.
Jen Psaki just said “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.” Should be terrifying to anyone who values free speech. Big tech companies are now default state actors. pic.twitter.com/xOosfhuF2y

Overall what we are witnessing is what the North Koreans, Chinese, and Russian governments do to their people. This is what happens in those countries, not the United States. It looks like the Chinese game system of social scoring is coming to America. As a citizen, you get a score.
The Biden Administration is pushing a war with the American people and it’s escalating very rapidly. This huge control factor is being pushed by the powers that be. And in this case, it’s the White House and the folks that are on the far left.
An excerpt from John and Steve’s Commentary
John: And, Steve, I’m just confused as to why we, as a populist have given them this much power and why we haven’t resisted before. Now there’s still very little resistance out there.
Steve: Yeah, I know. And this was a very big topic of conversation over the weekend because I was actually in a spiritual setting talking to some folks who are just good Christians like I am. And everybody came back with sort of the same conclusion, which is, we’re trying to be told not to fight because fighting is politically incorrect. So you take away in the Christian sense, you take away onward Christian soldier. You take away, battle hymn of the Republic. You don’t sing those songs anymore because they’re an implication that there’s evil in the world and you have to fight it. What you’re really supposed to do is be quiet and go along and not rock the boat. And we’ve got people who are fact-checking us, who are clearly biased in what they’re doing. It’s time to fight it’s long past time to fight. And if we don’t do it, we’re going to get stuff that we never even dreamed.
John: Yet when did it become? Because I don’t know the answer to this Steve, when did it become acceptable in Christian circles and conservative circles to literally stop fighting for fear that we would be labeled some sort of a whack job or somebody that’s way out there on their beliefs or what have you when, in fact, I can go all the way back in time, even when Christ walked this Earth and there wasn’t anything about Jesus Christ himself that wasn’t polarizing. He was, at the time, the most polarizing individual on the planet, and in a lot of ways started the ruckus Himself. He did that in the temple. There was nothing mealy-mouth about this guy whatsoever. And yet, as a Church were the opposite of that today.
