I have an almost 5 yr old son, and a 6 yr old daughter who does have a speech language delay, so I'll try to answer for both
1. Whats your child like with playing pretend? Both love playing pretend, they do different voices and put themselves in different scenarios.
2. Does your child play games like soccer, catch, cricket with you? Yes. Sometimes - she's not really interested and would rather play other games with me instead of "sporty" ones.
3. Does your child put their new clothes on top of their old ones unless you remind them explicitly to take off the old clothes? No. Zeke dresses himself properly. Gabrielle still sometimes puts things on back to front and can't be bothered turning them around. She still struggles with buttons.
4. Does your child like drawing? What do they draw? Can you recognise it? What is their grip like? Zeke loves to draw.... anything and everything. He drew a hole the other day. I can usually recognise it, he uses correct grip most of the time. Gabrielle is only starting to enjoy drawing. She just did random squiggles (even though they meant something to her) up until she was at least 5 and a half. I can now tell what she's trying to draw some of the time. She has correct pencil grip, and is only just starting to form letters by herself now.
5. Has your child ever said they don't like someone because of what there voice sounds like? no
6. Does your child talk non-stop during the day (and I mena barely pausing to take a breath) What do they talk about? Is it varied or is it mainly just on one subject? No. Zeke will talk when he feels like it and when there's a conversation to be had that interests him. Gabrielle only started talking in sentences when she was 4 and a half. She's still working on pronouns, tenses, order of prepositions etc now.
