While most internationally adopted children catch up to their peers in language development somewhat quickly, not all internationally adopted children demonstrate equal progress by the time they reach school age.

If your spouse is strict with the child, you need to be lenient. Following some simple tips can help to deal with the child better.
Enhance Learning with Children's Books and Music
