My son did speech therapy through his school until they kicked him out of the program because he didn’t qualify anymore. He loved it and it gave him so much confidence, at the end he was mostly reading to and helping other kids in the program. I hope people realize that speech therapy is a great tool, not a bad thing.
Speech therapy is not a bad word why is this made into such a huge bad thing? She’ll go a few times a week and she’ll be fine lol
Literally lol
Ignorant comment😂 obviously it isn’t a bad word, they are just concerned parents.
@@izziediaz4257 exactly! Shoot I worry about the same type of stuff with my kids...
They weren't making it into a bad thing. They were just saying they think they could teach her themselves before trying speech therapy.
They didn't say it was bad. I often wonder why we think late talkers need therapy. The evidence is overwhelming that it either, makes no difference at all, or, is indicative of a highly analytical (listen, observe) mind. The late talkers easily catch up. Their analytical mind remains unique for their age, however.
They should be happy to take Lilah to speech therapy instead of trying to find ways to delay it.The sooner the better! It's not an "if all else fails," proposition. It is so beneficial and carries no stigma whatsoever. If Tori had all these tools, why hasn't she been utilizing them by now?
All you People with negative comments. Get over your perfect selves.
i don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to out your child in any type of therapy especially if it’s for their own well being, that shit boggles my mind and it’s damn near close to neglect
Who else just love these babies! So cute, so polite!
Agreed. Speech therapy should not carry a stigma. Speech therapists not only help you speak but also swallow. The difference between tasting and enjoying food and being tube fed can't be overstated. Too often health care professionals fail to order speech therapy after a patient has been intubated and lost their ability to speak and eat, thinking those conditions are permanent. This is not always the case.
Speech therapy is a wonderful thing. Our son started at 2 and by the time he was 5 he was on par with all his classmates. There are simple things that you can do at home. Really just talking to your kid while playing makes a huge difference.
Late talkers are often extremely bright. It's not always because of negative things. They're listeners and observers. They catch up quickly when they do speak but remain far ahead on listening and observing. Tom Sowell did an enormous amount of research on late talkers and wrote a book on it.
A child at this age should be able to use 3-4 words in a sentence. The sooner you get intervention, the better the outcome. Spoken language and printed language are interconnected. In other words, if the child struggles with speech, she is more likely to present with reading difficulties when she grows up, which will eventually impact her academic performances. However, one of her strengths is she has great imitation skill. She will do really well in therapy.
the Witouses are such good friends
my thoughts exactly
My three year old is in speech therapy and she’s FLOURISHING. There is nothing wrong with a push anything for our children ❤️
These people are ignorant. She is extremely speech delayed and may have other developmental delays. The fact that they know she has speech delay and refuse to take her to a speech therapist just shows what loses they are. Imagine depriving your child of therapy and saying she will teach her herself? Like what? Her “child development” background isn’t enough to help this child.
THEYRE IDIOTS!!!
My son was a late talker. He even worked up his own sign language. It wasn't until he was four that we started to see improvement. He had two years of speech therapy in kindergarten and first grade. That kid is now an Electrical Engineer with a Master's Degree, making far more money than my husband or I ever did!
Extremely beautiful babies and family. God bless
I absolutely loved the Witouses such a sweet family. I feel terrible for their loss 😥
Who died
@@KamSky2013their friends lost two daughters due to complications from dwarfism and they knew there was a 25% of that happening.
I love the fact your family share your life with us.
Jackson is such an awesome big brother
I love these guys and they are doing great! They will figure it out. They know what's best for their kids.
I love this family God bless them for ever great parents
Lila's language has improved so much already. She was repeating words that Jackson was throwing at her. That is Wonderfull.
I just love this family!
FRANKLY!! I would never EVER have kids knowing they could have dwarfism. That is just too much pain for them.
I agree.. it's definitely a decision maker ..as sad as that decision would be to make.
This couple is so cute. They have a great sense of humor.
Why would these people put children through this horrible scenario if they're smart enough to know that it could happen. That is selfish that is sick and that is greedy and disgusting. That gives Little people a bad name because if you're going to make a baby with all those problems and you keep doing it time after time it's disgusting
Scrolled too far to see this comment. Can't believe what he said at the end. Being a parent is not a right. So no one has a right to procreation, it's a slippery slope for justifying rape too if you don't have a partner to procreate with. He's just being selfish and doesn't want to admit it.
NOT COULD, BUT WILL HAPPEN, ITS SO AWFUL AND CRUEL!!!!
FACTS!!!!!!
@@chiefswife1212 Yep! In a different world they would be too weak to survive and we already know the be over a fire being eaten by our dogs.
This is what i don't understand. He said he had tubes & surgerys as a kid and he Dosent want that for any of his kids. Yet you keep getting Tori pregnant knowing your kids will suffer just like you did! Why would you keep having kids selfishly knowing you are putting them through the surgeries you went through?
Hé may have been secretly hoping for an average height kid.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS KEEP ASKING THIS SAME QUESTION, THE NUMBER OF SURGERIES THESE KIDS WILL HAVE TO ENDUR IS HORRIFIC!!!! SO IRRESPONSIBLE!!!
I’m Deaf and had speech therapy all through my school years. What I’m disappointed about this video is that the Captions were not provided, and I want to know what is being said as I’m interested in what they are saying about her having speech therapy. Darn it, it was too hard to lipread most of what’s being said!! ☹️
You know you can turn on captions so that they will show on every video that you watch on youtube... go to the settings and turn it on...
Hope this hekps!!
@@hussy3527captions were not an option for this video.
@@hussy3527the captions are not accurate at all, they’re horrible
The loss of a pregnancy and the loss of a child are two very different situations....Im glad Tori recognized this and was sensitive to the lady who actually lost two children
I didn’t know Zach was delayed speaking tell four so Lila could be just going in his footsteps that’s a good relief to know she can hear little doll 💕
Note: Amy said he had ear issues (including tubes & surgery) which likely contributed to his delayed speech.
TONS of little ones have speech therapy. No biggie at all. ❤
I find it annoying that Zach thinks that people thinking the Witouses shouldn’t have kids means they think all little people shouldn’t have kids. No that couple is continuing to have children knowing there is a 25% that child will die shortly after birth. That is beyond sick!
It is so cruel to do that to a poor innocent baby and also everybody around suffers nobody wants to watch a child suffer and die after only living for a few minutes or a few hours because of their dwarfism
Lol she can hear she just playing everybody with her selective hearing lol
Or she could be autistic.
Those poor kids will have so many challenges
hvorfor torturere børn og føde dem med så forfærdelige udviklingsmæssige anomalier. Er det ikke mere humant ikke at få børn under sådan en trussel? Jeg forstår det ikke😢
I’m sorry for their loss stay strong
I think they’re not telling us a lot, because two air infections would not cause a speech delay🤷♀️ Lila is just too cute and little Jackson is so smart and such a doll
E PAREM DE POR FILHO NO MUNDO ...PRA SOFREREM
tori has the best personality
We must be looking at an entirely different person?
@@berdellfleming5074 i get what you're saying but i don't think there is any harm in appreciating her role in this process once in a while.
I don't admire her. She's a mom, not the best ... there's no such thing.
You only see a few minutes of her on tv and you know her so well? I used to think Zach and Jeremy were great kids until I saw the episode where their uncle was talking to Amy about how horrible and disrespecful the boys were towards her and other adults, smh.
Tori is the worst .
Why not get your child the help she needs? Clearly the kid has a speech delay.
Idk why ppl tend to be so negative when it comes to speech therapy.
It's actually super helpful and the time a child has to do it all varies for different reasons to but my son did and still does some speech therapy and it's really a great tool.
Absolutely 👍🏻 beautiful comment
I hope she's going to be ok such a sweet little girl!👌🏾👏🏽💯❤️🥰
My son is in speech therapy, he doesn't have any hearing problems, he just has a speech delay, it's been a few months now but it's almost like night and day, I still struggle to understand what he says sometimes but it been such a vast improvement, there is no shame in it, I just want my son to able to express himself w/o feeling frustrated, ST has helped him come a long way
I took speech therapy as a kid. I failed hearing tests myself as a kid. Once she starts she won’t shut up, what they told my parents.
Lilah is starting to look like her Grandma Amy 😇
Unfortunately, poor thing!
Tori and Zack need to sit down and teach their daughter words...good grief!!
Poor babies
My grandson had a speech therapist it has been such a big help I had speech when I was in school
It’s so unethical to keep having sick kids. All that they’ll go through, it’s so bizarre and selfish
This really angers me. Just saw the news of Tori asking for prayers for Zach due to some surgery. What does she think about her children? Their also going to go thru what Zach's going thru...this poor children 😢 😔 now her daughter's having health issues ...having ear infections is an issue, Tori is so ignorant. My prayers go to this children 🙏
AND THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE!!! THEYRE IDIOTS!!!
Why would they keep having handicap kids ? Like why they want dwarfs in this world . These kids not only will have medical problems but also social issues being made fun off .
Pronunciation! 😂 I waited for it. 👍👍👍
There is not about right to procreate !!! Of course, everyone has the right, it doesn t matter the height, color, etc !!! Is all about morality and the fact that knowing what that child will endure the whole life is the supreme love not to let that happen !!! Otherwise is pure selfishness and cruelty !!!
THEYRE IDIOTS!!
Jackson is the most Adorable 💕🌹
Jackson has a great personality. He seems to be smart. I love watching videos of him.
You have a beautiful family you deserve all the happiness in life!
They are beautiful children you both are beautiful parents your children have so much love in them an it comes from you two ❤️ 💜 ♥️ 💗
Speech therapy is good, they all catch up as they grow ❤
They need their own spin off ❤
they couldn't. Zach doesn't do anything to film the way his dad does. 30 minutes episodes of zach laying on the couch and playing w/his kids in the sandbox. Seriously, think about that.
Can't stand Tori ... I wouldn't watch it! 🤮
They worked with my son on his speech when he was in the first grade. I worked with him at home also. He had trouble saying his R's and L's. His speech improved very quickly. I'm sure it's pretty common 😀
Love them wish you all stay on the air and Amy 🙂 They are reason I tune in on this channel
My daughter failed the hearing test when I had her .she was 37 weeks and she passed within a month and she did everything early walk talk
Having three special needs children, cannot be easy, and I am sure they have and will face many more things worse than a bit of speech therapy. Like all of us, they face parenting with the very best that they have to offer. They have a lot to offer!
those two baby girls.....such beautiful faces, in there short lives the one thing they both knew was they were loved
I will never understand Why these 2 people Who knew the odds were against them to have normal healthy children that they deliberately had to have their own biological children ? They have set these children up to have a harder life than was nesscessary ? There are children waiting to be a part of a family of their own. To be Adopted. These 2 people have the means and resources to have done exactly that. There wasn't any reason to have genetic children except for the fact that from where I sit it looks Very Selfish to have a Mini Me. That's sad and I don't know how they can look at their children Struggle with EVERYTHING in their lives and their parents don't think , WOW We did THIS to our children out of Selfishness. I would like it to make sense but as a bystander that doesn't have anything to do with them IT'S Really NONE of My Business. I'm just curious How they live with themselves and what Excuses they console themselves with ???
They seem to be in denial. -Especially about Jackson’s badly deformed legs. Wait til that poor kid hits puberty. Lord knows what issues the girl will have. Then they’ve got the third child also sick with achondroplasia.
THOUSANDS ARE SAYING SAME THING, THESE 2 ARE IDIOTS!!!
I always wondered how it feels for her to be with a tiny guy
Zach speaks quite clearly. I think he could work with Lila successfully. I don't think he has pronunciation issues. I thought that before they began talking about Zach's speech. Mature conversation with the other couple - very nice. Presenting the show this way probably helps others mature enough to listen.
There’s nothing wrong with that. My sister had twins and they talked to each other but nobody else understood. Now they’re 22 and haven’t shut up yet. She will be fine
damn, I cant imagine the expenses.
Zack is so cute and funny even now as a grown man. I love to see how he has really matured yet kept his boyish adorableness. His wife is so pretty and such a good mom and has a great sense of humor. It's not easy to raise a family these days . Good job you two ! 👏
You children are beautiful!👨👩👧👦
Your post is absolutely ridiculous🤮🤮🤮
Stop. Zach is not cute, and that's not because he's lp. The lp family that visited them, the husband was cute.
Zach is still a boy. He's fathered 3 disabled children and is too lazy to get a job. He'd be a great teacher at a school and would be a great soccer coach for the school team (and benefits to take care of his kids instead of his dad having to do it). But no, he's going to do as little as possible. Lazy lazy lazy
The speech therapy can help. If she wants to revert from time to time and crawl, they should let her.
A chemical in our brains for speech development is produced when we crawl.
This was explained in our case with our early walker. It balanced out at age 3 and with help by 7 they did well.
Speech didn't slow capabilities as they read early and was able to do simple math by age 5.
Glad they are making a plan.
I don't believe anyone should judge others.
When you prepare to have children, it's helpful to know risks when possible and make that choice privately.
I'm sorry for that families loss. Sometimes we learn by experiencing which is painful.
Wow I never heard that about crawling. Both my grandchildren are in speech therapy. They've been in it since starting school. The oldest is also dyslexic an his speech teacher has helped him learn to read. I almost cry when I see him sitting an reading a book.
My son has hearing loss in his left ear. He had speech therapy and graduated from it. Now he's going to restart due to the hearing loss. Hopefully speech therapy will help her.
There all cute omg if I could go and hug them
I say it with love but u Got to say it doe hurt to see the kids go thru all that they do medically..Wish them all the best
Let Jackson teach his sister words. He is a good speaker and someone his sister trusts.😊
Zach is a keeper man. He’s a whole catch. So happy for them
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎
@@meggie423 im sure youre conventionally attractive, hot ppl fersure would type that 😅 😥
I’ll never understand how or why ppl put their babies lives at risk with such high numbers just for the sake of parenthood.
THEYRE IDIOTS!!!
God bless ❤ so sorry for your loss!
Zach & Tori have 3 beautiful kids. I would have been blessed to have parents like them.
Would you want to be a dwarf though?
@@electrodynamicorb6548 If I had Zach & Tori as parents...absolutely! I have several little people friends & they don't let their disability stop them from leading a full life. It's other people that see the disability, not them.
@@sharonthompson7556 delusional
Yep
I’ve had speech therapy when I was younger because I stuttered and over the years my speech has gotten worse tbh.
My Father in law calls it parmee Jen cheese also 😂
1:11 that’s upsetting, auditory processing problem will not be easy for her. You would hope that it was a physical issue rather than a neurological one so it’s really odd that they seem happy about this.
I had speech therapy growing up my speech was terrible as a kid no one could understand what I was saying
Awww.
I feel bad for them but it's like stop getting pregnant like what do you want a collage of kids that didn't make it on your wall 🤔 like I get your desperate to have kids and prove a point but focus on the child you do have and just try making his life joyous like everything ain't ment to be
These folks really should adopt. They can even pick out kids with dwarfism like The Little Couple did.
You have a beautiful family Zach & Tori.
I'm so sorry for the lose of that couples two sweet babies. ❤🤍🤍❤❤
You two are so cute.
Uncle Nino on Jersey Shore needs sum speech therapy
Y'all made me laugh! I needed it.
Lol..love Amy and all of you
How many times do they say "Like"? Bad habit!
THEYRE IDIOTS!!!
I’d be more worried about ongoing ear issues than a need for speech therapy. At her age, the speech therapy would likely occur at no cost through ECSE.
They should definitely do speech therapy, under a certain age the parents are taught how to improve their language growth and do most of the direct prompting anyway. If they wait and try to do it themselves, might need the therapy longer. Child development is great but doesn't replace an SLPs expertise. They could be done in less than a year.
Why didn't they adopt challenging kids they seem to like them and deny any problems inspite if theyre right in front of them.
Família top lindos
Of course disabled people have the RIGHT to procreate and make babies, but does that make it morally okay? These children suffer. I've heard Zach talk in depth about how his kids' confidence will have to eventually be met with reality because he will never be as fast, as strong, as capable as the other kids. Not to mention the mountain of medical issues they all come out with, wasting both the taxpayers money and hospital resources creating something you know is going to come out with a ton of issues. All the kum-ba-ya and hippie shit aside, procreating when you have a major disability will never sit well with me.
Well then if you become old and disabled and need medical attention, just make sure you don’t use up and waste taxpayer money, since you feel so strongly. My son has achondroplasia and I’m not using taxpayer money to pay for medical needs, so your assumptions about everyone with achondroplasia using up tax funds is obviously incorrect
THEYRE IDIOTS!!!
I'm sorry for their loss but if you know the risks of having children with your condition why would you do that?
Do you know they told me. The doctors and a family member that was a speech pathologist that both my kids needed speech therapy. Because they were not speaking when they were two and three years old and actually didn’t speak well until they were 4 1/2 five years old and you know both of them have been very successful at life. They’ve never had any learning disabilities and both of them are officers in the Air Force, one has a masters degree and my daughter is almost with her bachelors. I’m glad that I didn’t subject my kids to that. There was nothing absolutely wrong. They just jump the gun and think that speech therapy is needed. Kids will speak when they are ready.
They must be at the old Spaghetti Factory 🍝
THAT IS EXACTLY HOW WE SAY IT IN THE SOUTH ZACK
Speech therapy is very helpful.
Дети, счастье и радость. Но Зак сам проходил, через оскорбления, унижения и множественные операции. Зачем так много рожать и дети с большими проблемами по здоровью. Детей им не жалко? 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Hello beautiful familys 🙏🏼🥰
