Thursday Thirteen #49 - Can't You Hear Me?

Ever find yourself yelling at your kids, "Can't you hear me!?" We have. Sadly the answer is, "No I didn't hear you" Our son has been bothered by fluid in his ears for most of his life. When he was 6 he got ear tubes and was cured, we thought. Here are some signs not to ignore.
1.) Constantly yelling for your child but they don't respond. You might think they are ignoring you.
2.) You believe the television is turned up too loud. Maybe your telling your child to turn the tv down.
3.) They get in trouble at school. They have to sit out from recess or get marks in class.
4.) You might hear from the teacher that your child doesn't focus.
5.) You might hear from the teacher that your child isn't paying attention.
6.) You might hear from the teacher that your child isn't listening to instructions.
7.) Your child talks loudly.
8.) Frequent runny nose.
9.) Frequent sore throat.
10.) Frequent sinus infections.
11.) Frequent ear infections.
12.) Your child sounds like they are talking through their nose.
13.) The volume on the computer or their games is turned up to the highest setting.
Our little guy was getting in trouble at school and thank goodness that they had his hearing problems from last year in his information. If the teacher and I had not discussed this at length I might not have caught this again.
