Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Speech Delays
If the baby is getting older, the speech/verbal ability of a baby or child will increase with age. On the other hand, Kanaya and Bhishma feel that the ability to speak Aksara is still on the spot. Even though Kanaya and Bhishma are convinced that each child is unique and the stage of development of each child cannot be equated with the other, but this time Kanaya and Bhishma really held great suspicion towards Aksara.
“Mas, Aksara is two years old now. Meanwhile, his speaking ability is not yet smooth. The cost is also not much, how is this Mas?” ask Kanaya this time to her husband.
Bisma listened to his wife's words with great attention. The man also noticed the growth and development of Aksara which in fact there is a red flag (red flag) that is being flown. Bisma seemed to sigh, "You want to go to the clinic, baby?" this time to Kanaya.
Of course Kanaya also immediately agreed to her husband's offer. Kanaya also wants the Aksara to grow optimally. For that, Kanaya immediately agreed to her husband's invitation to bring Aksara to the clinic.
"You are, Mas ... for Aksara I will do my best" Kanaya said, staring at her husband's face.
"Dear one, I will also do my best for Aksa" said Bisma.

Today …
Kanaya and Bhishma actually brought Aksara to one of the clinics growing in the Capital. The goal is certainly to check the development of the character as a whole, and also consult about the delay of the character in speaking.
A therapist greeted Kanaya, Bhishma, and Aksara that afternoon.
"Hello, good afternoon .. I'm Miss Vina, the therapist at the clinic growing up. Can we help you?" greet a therapist named Miss Vina.
"Yes, Miss. .. Look, we want a consultation related to the growth and development of our son" said Kanaya.
Miss Vina looked at Aksara and smiled at Aksara. "Hello, what's his name?" ask Miss Vina to Aksara.
"Aksala," he said.
Because the Aksara can not speak clearly, so the consonant of the letter R is actually pronounced L.
"The name is Aksara, Miss," said Kanaya who confirmed the name of her son.
"O .. His name is Aksara yah. Good name" replied Miss Vina. "So how's Mom?" miss Vina asked Kanaya again.
Kanaya seemed to sigh for a moment, before starting to speak. "Look Miss, our son, this character is already 2 years old. However, his speaking ability is still unclear. The vocabulary he absorbed was not too much either. The initial assumption that my husband and I were Aksara had a delay in speech" Kanaya explained.
After giving a check to Aksara, Miss Vina came to her conclusion.
"How about Mr. Bhishma and Ms. Kanaya, as the results of the tests we did just now. Aksara is experiencing Speech Delay," he explained.
Of course Kanaya and Bhishma were surprised instead of playing. However, both guesses are correct that Aksara has a delay in speaking.
"Well, Speech Delay is a communication disorder that causes a child to have difficulty speaking. This condition is usually caused by mouth disorders, hearing problems, and lack of stimulus. Father and Mother themselves have been providing stimulus for Aksara yet?" ask Miss Vina to Bhishma and Kanaya.
Both also nodded their heads, because they had talked a lot with the Scriptures, narrating, reading books, to invite the Aksara to sing. In fact, all that can not make Aksara has a vocabulary of at least 25 words for a 2-year-old child.
"Already," answered Kanaya and Bhishma together.
Then Miss Vina looked back at Kanaya and Bhishma. "Begini Bu Kanaya and Mr. Bhishma, try to do the following three things, First invite Aksara to play Container Play. Container Play is a game of inserting and removing toys from containers to other containers. From this game the child will know a permanent object. An invisible thing does not mean nothing. Similarly, language, which they do not see does not mean that there is none. Then bring three-way eye contact that is when the child sees the object then to his parents, that's when parents can give meaning to the object. This three-way eye contact is a bridge to getting into language. All three crawl, because crawling can stimulate the corpus callosum in the brain. The corpus callosum is the bridge between the right and left brain. Try Mom and Dad to do the following three things first. We see in two weeks whether Aksara is experiencing its development" explained Miss Vina.
Kanaya and Bhishma nodded. This time they should not ignore, however they should immediately stimulate the Aksara so that the speech delay experienced by Aksara can be overcome.
...🌸🌸🌸...
Arriving at home, Kanaya seemed to sigh and stare with teary eyes at Aksara.
"Son, grow well well well.pardon Father and Mother who in fact can not stimulate you well," said Kanaya who seemed to shed tears staring Aksara who was asleep in her bed.
Bhishma also put his wife on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself, dear . Now our job is to stimulate her first. We do what we can for the characters" said Bisma.
The man seemed to calm and strengthen his wife's heart. As a husband, Bhishma knew for sure that Kanaya was sad at this time. For this reason, Bisma immediately tried to calm his wife.
Kanaya nodded, "I will take care of the temporary leave from Jaya Corps first, Mas .. or else I will apply for a half-day work from home."
"Dear, no matter what your decision is, I always support you. I'll also change my practice schedule at the clinic first. We prioritize the Scriptures together well," replied Bhishma.
Indeed, as a parent, when a child has a delay in growth, his parents are the most guilty. There was sadness left in his heart. For this reason, this time Kanaya will try to maximize stimulating the Aksara.
