So I have a daycare family with 2 children in my care 1 year old girl and a three year old boy. They are both delayed for there age but as the little boy has been here a couple months he is now right on track. The little year is 13 months and has been coming here since 10 months and I have seen absolutely no progress. She is spoon fed baby food, the only food she will feed herself are the rice crackers. She doesn't say any words nor does she move in any way. When I first got her at 10 months she could barely sit up now she does sit up but does occasionally fall so you need to have a pillow behind her. When she does fall she can't roll or crawl in any way. She also won't even hold her own bottle.

I have brought it up with the parents and they always say she is lazy which I don't believe I think she has a muscle issue because she has no strength at all. The parents brought her to a doctor and told me they were referred to a pediatrician. Which I didn't even realize they had in Calgary? Anyway the parents told me the pediatrician said she is "just lazy" nothing wrong with her mentally or physically. They said they will bring to physical therapy but otherwise she is fine.

I honestly don't think they are telling me the truth. Does this sound believable to you? If not how would you go about talking to them about it.
