@@kathleenking47not necessarily. I know of an owner of a Italian pizza place here in USA 🇺🇸 that would speak both languages (Italian/English) baby age and toddler age. This child is grown.now and fluent on both languages. Speak and understand it.
Guys! She’s only 15 months old….. she’s doing fantastic! Not to mention she’s learning Two languages. I think she’s a smart little girl and maybe even ahead of her peers.
You know “internet people” think EVERY LANE is their lane, whether they know what they’re talking about or not. 🤦🏽♀️ Baby is very smart…and she’s happy! 🥰
Hey, I am a Spec Ed teacher and your sweet Babygirl is not presenting any signs of autism. She is a baby! My grandgirls are 1 and 3, each have developed differently. For instance, my 3 yr old grandgirl has just started speaking in sentences. Half the time we need her to repeat her words. My 1 yr old grandgirl speaks words more clearly than her sister. No worries here and I believe people need to mind their own business and worry about their own children and grands! She is beautiful and happy! I have watched Y'all from the beginning! (Way before your pregnancy) Blessings to all Y'all from Georgia ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸
I have a Autistic daughter that didn’t start saying full sentences until she was three years old. Speech plays a factor in being tested for Autism but that isn’t the only thing. Another thing, Autism doesn’t mean slow or delayed education wise. She is higher on the spectrum and learn quickly. She isn’t in school and she already knows how to read, count, and does simple math. It’s what you pour into your child. I’ll never let a diagnosis determine my child’s future. If you’re an Autism Mom give yourself a pat on the back. God blessed you with a genius
OMGreatness!!!! My daughter said the same thing... I have a autistic grandson, and my daughter quit her job to devote her time an energy into homeschooling and she doing everything to get him prepared for this great big world. He's well mannered, and smart as ever ❤
It could be autism but you're doing everything right! Keep talking and working with her. That's the best thing you can do.Both of my sons are autistic and I am a stay at home mother. I got to devote full time to prepping them for school. Each are out of special education classes this year at 5 and 7. Good luck to you and your family!
Each child is a unique individual. Your daughter is beautiful and healthy. Let's face the fact that jealous people will find something to harp on. Forget them and live your best life! 🙏
Don’t let anyone tell you something is wrong with your child. As a parent you’ll see signs before anyone. Keep loving on her and allowing her to grow at the own speed. She’ll be okay..
This is true and healthy Focus on the smooth upbringing of your daughter is so cute and growing ❤❤❤Parents can take the baby to an audiologist for health screening, which is part of the baby road health card, just like immunization routine ❤❤❤❤
Your baby is absolutely beautiful and perfect. Don't waste your energy with stupid, miserable, evil, lonely, people with wicked hearts. There is truth in misery loves company; they are jealous you have a beautiful life with options they don't have. They lash out so you will be as miserable as they are. Keep smiling, loving your family and life. You are doing an amazing job with your sweet, beautiful daughter. May God continue to bless you.
I agree. They literally only watch the videos to spread negativity and harass them. The problem is that you can block them and they can just make another account. RU-vid doesn't do much to help at all.
You should be the first one you’re nasty l, let people watch what they want and comment what they want and don’t read the comments lif you don’t like it - very simple
@@june2137 we don't need to exploit our children on the internet. It's not necessary to LET people see your children. Unfortunately when you do it opens the door for criticism and negative comments. It's not about the parents getting offended, it's about the child's safety and emotional well-being. One day this little girl is going to be able to see all of things these 2 idiots post. All of the videos about their age a Gap, the things they've said about their sex life, and all the people making comments about her being autistic. Grown ups make good decisions for their kids. Not immature one's that put the little bit of youtube " fame" first.
Don't blame the viewers much because they are judging by what they see. Ur adorable daughter doesn't has any problem only that she hasn't mix up much with toddlers like her.wait till she enter preschool u will notice a lot of changes. My daughter started talking at the age of 4 and she's doing well
There is nothing wrong with your baby.. she's doing just fine.. it drives me crazy how so many people or Dr's always go to the word.. Autism... when they think there's something wrong.. she's growing up great.. ❤❤
I agree that there is nothing wrong with this sweet little girl. Baby girl is doing just fine. She is following both of her parents directions-Autism is totally out❤️🙂
I’m no doctor, but I’ve been around autistic toddlers. Just from this video, I’m not seeing those signs in this baby. The smiles, laughter and engagement would be more of a challenge for a baby having autism
No reason to explain to anyone. She's adorable. You rear up ur child as u please. N yes children develop differently. I had 5 n all were different in development. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
It's not ""rear"your children, that's for animals. You,trained, and raised,up your children,in the best way possible. Did you two,moved to Poland ""permanently "or temporarily, buying your own home.over there
I’ll just ignore that nonsense if I were you. Keep enjoying your beautiful family. You’re blessed and seem to be doing well. Blessings to you and your family.
Mom and Dad...STOP DEFENDING YOURSELVES!!!! You are both wonderful parents of an absolutely beautiful, healthy, happy and very 'normal' baby girl!!!! (I cannot believe she's already 18 months old😮...who's speeding up the clock???) Unfortunately, social media does have its downside and some people are just rude😢. You're doing fine and thank y'all so much for sharing your life's journey with us...most of us really do appreciate it!!👍💖
@@thatssorafiyah7739 Your doing a great job as a mother. When children learn two languages at a young age they usually start talking around 2 in a half 3 years old complete sentences too ❤
My grandson is 3. He started talking 3 months before he turned 3 and is saying everything now. He is brilliant! The baby will talk when she is ready. Leave the precious baby alone.
You know why people make comments like that? It's because they're sick in their heads or miserable and unhappy! The fact that you guys have to address grown adults like this is very sad to know the kind of adults we have in this world. God bless you all and your beautiful daughter. I cant wait to see your travel adventures 💞💕💕💕
@@thatssorafiyah7739Malenka does not show ANY signs of autism. I have an adult person in my family that lives with it and the diagnosis isn't just about speaking. It's also about how they interact socially, make eye contact, reciprocate language in response to other people's conversations and petition their needs, wants and desires. Malenka shows no difficulty with those factors at all in my eyes and I've worked with special needs kids and adults for over 20 years. Cyber hugs and kisses to your beautiful daughter.. 👧🏼❤️
I have an adult person in my family that lives with autism. The diagnosis isnt only about speech. Its also about how they function cognitively and how they interact socially. How they respond to certain social cues, reciprocate language in response to other people's conversations, make eye contact, self regulate and petition for their wants, needs and desires. Its a whole litmus of tests. Usually, they dont even test for autism until the age of 3. Even then the doctors will tell you that children's speech milestone's will vary from child to child and before they test for autism, they will test each childs hearing first. Malenka can hear. Malenka shows NO signs of difficulty in ANY of those factors i've mentioned and I've worked with special needs kids and adults for over 20 years. Malenka is a beautiful, normally developing child as I see. 👧🏼❤️
Malenka seems happy and well adjusted. She follows along during educational tasks, she's walking, she follows directions, gets into things, plays indepently and with other, and makes noise (as you were talking, she was clearly making noise). A troll likely started and ebbed on the onslaught of criticism. Don't take it to heart. Happy posting!!
Your daughter is growing so fast. I have a friend his daughter is 4 and just starting to talk.. I love how you guys are correcting the many HATER’S.. let them hate and pay no attention if they don’t like it don’t watch the videos. ❤-U-guys..
@@thatssorafiyah7739These ppl are just jealous that you have a beautiful family. Some of these ppl trolling don't even have a man or a woman. They are just miserable.
Bless you both and that sweet baby girl! my daughter does have autism so I don’t really appreciate the nasty comments. There’s nothing I could’ve done differently that would’ve made her any different. She’s exactly as she is supposed to be your baby girl.
Hello Rafal and Iyah. I don't think most of the people who wrote those comments were putting Malenka and you down. They mean well and care. On the other hand I don't agree with the someone's comment who said you should talk more to Malenka. When my son was approx. 2 years old he started stuttering. When I talked to the doctor, she asked if we talk to him a lot and read books. It was my son's grandma who did that a lot. The doctor said to give my son a break. She was right. He grew out of the stuttering in a few months. All the best!
My granddaughters are part Polish 19 and 17yrs old. Malenka actually looks like my 17yrs old granddaughter when she was a baby. I loved Poland. I missed the Pierogies 😊 and the Polish Bacon 🥓 ❤Malenka looks absolutely fine to me.❤
Yes, I wouldn't have wasted a second of my life to address these haters. Their lives are at a dead end, boring as hell, and yet find the time to go on YT to hate those who have their lives all put together unlike their lives. Lord Have Mercy.
My son was a quiet baby too….but for our peace of mind we had him work with a speech therapist. He still didn’t talk until he started preschool at 3…turns out he was just observing and absorbing all the vocabulary. Just keep doing what you’re doing talking and singing with her. Once she starts speaking her vocabulary will explode ❤
My son (17) had a speech impediment till he started school. I never worried about him talking late because he was healthy happy and hitting all other milestones. Before he was like 5ish no one could understand him but me because he dropped a lot of letters and sounds. With some speech therapy his speech was corrected and he is a perfectly healthy happy young man, graduating highschool in the coming year. My daughter (4) talks SO much and has SO much knowledge and awareness about what she is saying. She was like Melena when she was her age. She was very quiet always taking everything in. Always in her own world. In the mornings I noticed she was very active and chatty but would not talk during the day. I honestly believe it’s because she is super smart and is literally taking everything in and when she does start talking she’s not going to stop. Melena is just a smarty pants 😊
Raf and Lyah. You guys are doing a terrific job!! Don’t listen to all of the negative comments. I admire the two of you for exposing your beautiful daughter to different things and cultures. I am a single parent of a 17 year old. My daughter and I travel to different countries all the time. I tell my daughter there is so much to see and learn from other countries and cultures. I believe it makes you a more understanding and compassionate person toward others. I always say the ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something a person knows nothing about but yet refuse to investigate and understand. May God Bless your family !❤
So you feed Malena before going to the restaurant, then at the restaurant she watches you eat and you think she will be sitting quietly while you eat - she probably wants to taste the food also -
Raf and Iyah have ZERO compassion for that child. Even if they did feed her that day, HOW LONG was it before they arrived at the restaurant? She was excluded from the meal because they do not believe that she is worthy. 😐
@@sweetestea Now she's showing that she feeds the child in a high chair. She could've order simple finger food for the child. Traveling is exhausting and stressful at times especially now.Everything is unpredictable. People are getting can GH with outages flight cancellations delays imagine a toddler going through these scenarios 😬
Baby girl is thriving and doing well. She's fine, and you two are great parents. She's learning two languages, and some people can't even properly speak their native language of English.
She’s a beautiful little girl, she’s learning to speak two languages which a lot of kids her age doesn’t do, you both doing a wonderful job with her💕❤️
THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT EXPLOIT YOUR CHILD on social media! I don't care if it's for 5 minutes a week. You putting your child out there is allowing people to make negative comments. Is it rude ? Yes. But these fake relationships that you try to create with your followers, makes them feel as though they can comment on your life. Get used to it. The price you pay for social media " fame".
Say it louder for the people in the back! 💯 They making money off of that baby which is so sad but I’m not surprised because most social media couples do that. They’ll do anything for 💵
Thank you!! This whole situation is disgusting. My mind keeps going to Garrison Brown, who, along with his siblings, were thrown into a shark tank full of hungry sharks. They had no say they were little children , the irresponsible, selfish adults who were supposed to protect them, but that never happened, being followed with a camera, not being able to say NO. It's gross.
@@latashalea944 Thank you ! I love how the usual response to people with our opinion is usually " they're THEIR kidd, mind your buisness.." like helloooo ! Someone has to speak up for the voiceless here. Idk it the child seemingly enjoys it , they can't make that choice !
@@GC2024_ YESSS , exactly. Like I commented to the person above, children can not make an informed decision. It's our jobs to make the right choices for them until they reach 18 for a reason. Even if the child is old enough to say they want to be apart of mom and dad 's content. I just can't believe these parents get smacked in the face by the negatives of allowing the world to see your kids and yet they STILL don't get why we simply keep our kids offline.
@@LambHasaLittle_Marie. wonder if they would tell us to “mind our business” or “it’s their kids” if abuse, molestation, etc was involved. Doubted. It’s going to come to an era with what they’re saying is going to backfire and no one is going to give a crap what happened to their children.
You are right traveling is excellent for your daughter as well as for us - we get to enjoy your vids and see other countries. Love your vids keep’em coming you guys rock!! From ohio❤❤
Being autistic is not a bad thing. It is actually called neurodiversity or being on the spectrum. Autism means that someone thinks differently from the neurotypical or mainstream.
Be careful with that statement. It’s not a “bad thing” because individuals with ASD can’t help how they were born. However, ASD is a spectrum, someone can be high functioning or low functioning. Sometimes with high functioning individuals you may not even notice there ASD, but with low functioning individuals you absolutely notice and it’s not a pleasant experience a lot of the time. Some are nonverbal, physically aggressive, have abnormal eating habits, etc. That disorder can take a toll on a whole family.
She will learn the word NO soon! Lucky u guys I remember when mine were that age it’s do fun and how fast they pick up on things. Each child is different and wondrous. Enjoy this time it goes soo fast ! My kids are now adults 25 and 23. You guys just continue to do you. Im a 57 yr old mom and enjoy ur content. You guys are doing a fine job.. ❤❤❤❤❤from ohio
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your daughter. She is an adorable child. I’ve had 5 kids and each was different. Don’t listen to negative comments. Ugh these people are nuts.
You really need to watch her around dogs because no matter how placid a dog may be if she hurts them they might bite back and it wouldn’t be their fault but you would be very upset with them. So please be careful
As a mother of five adult children and a grandmother of one. You both are doing an amazing job raising your beautiful daughter. I love your channel . ❤
Those trolls are literally ignorant!!! You guys do a great job. She’s WELL taken care of. Eats GOOD and it shows!! She’s learning 2 languages. You guys are VERY attentive towards her!! They are clearly miserable
You are great parents and she’s a beautiful girl. I don’t believe she has autism and any learning disability. However, get her hearing check just to make sure that are problems with her hearing. If so, there is support out there for your daughter….she will be okay!! The programs for kids with various issues are amazing now. They literally help get to where the issue doesn’t exist any longer. Let me say this though: This is the time to help her to develop language so that she can speak; it how we all have learned how to talk some way or the other one. JUST MODEL/show her what you want her to do first WHILE SAYING WHAT YOUR DOING. then let her do what you did continuing to explain what she is doing to her..this is giving her language: Do this for everything that you and your husband do and for everything that she does: model and say what you’re modeling, 2. Let her practice what you’re modeling while saying what she is doing. Keep doing this for everything that you guys to in front of her and SAY what she is doing …to give her language!!! I love how you read to her. This will help too a lot. The key is to define everything to her that you guys are doing and she is doing to. Make her use her words not babble. If you give her water take for example, say mommy is giving you water, this is water water melana. When she puts her cup up to her mouth, tell that’s whT’s she’s doing, etc. JUST MODEL, MODEL, MODEL and say what you are doing to her and what she is doing to her. If she has a hearing challenge, this will explain why you have to model more than normal. If she can’t hear what you’re saying then she can’t process easily what you’re saying to develop language as she should be able to do so. It will work itself out…RELAX..kids to learn at their own pace!! But still talk to her more…model what you want her to while saying it, then let her do it while you say what she is doing. Say what she is doing and you and your husband are doing always..say it..this is talking to her!!! When you pick up a spoon, say it..mommy is picking up a spoon..if your food is on the spoon say food in on the spoon and I am getting ready too put it in your month or fed you ….this with it. DEFINE/SAY always what You’re doing or your husband is doing in front of her and say what she is doing away to her. It exhausting but this is how they develop language..it called “talking to them”!! I love your family. God Bless Sincerely- a teacher and learning specialist
Lovvve that you guys moved back to Poland so much more opportunities for Melena, and travelling, and so much more. Honestly I think Iyah actually seemed so much more happy when you were there before.
She literally just turned ONE not too long ago. People are weird. Malena is so beautiful and seems like a sweet baby. Best wishes to you all. Live your life ❤
She’s absolutely beautiful learning two languages walking moving. People just don’t have anything better to do than talk bad about a child. Get a life. That baby is absolutely beautiful and adorable.
Your baby is beautiful. I think some people truly don't mean to be ugly, they think they are giving advice. I know some people are being hateful. I enjoying watching your little family and I think ya'll are wonderful parents. Just block the people that are being hateful.
She is perfect! She will talk when she is ready. I have a 2 year old and we speak Spanish and English in our house so he is mixing both languages and it's hard to understand him alot but it's fine. Babys develop at their own pace!
I think the negative comments come from the same person who has either created multiple fake profiles bc they are obsessed with you guys or have created a group of mean girls to hate on you out of jealousy. You guys are awesome to watch and I love your content. God bless you three.
Exactly they explaining too much all on the defense , don't show your life if you can't handle it iyah and rafal point blank. This video shows her doing things but no talking at all she crys for everything.
My cousin is autism he is 15 he does all these things malena does but does not barely speak. What was the point these two idiots was trying to convince ppl of?.
Why did a person had to say the baby should have her own plate , these two dummies should have known that lol. Iyah just goes along with everything rafal says and does so defensive they look silly trying to convince.
She’s so precious and you guys are great parents to her! She’s doing perfectly fine. We all know that kids grow and learn at different paces. Seems like every single parent on RU-vid gets picked on. Unfortunately, you have to have thick skin to keep sharing your family on here. Stay strong and ignore the rude ones. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Well at least ya’ll addressing the rumor because I was worried about her. Also, Iyah be careful with the knives. Seem like modern day knives are more dangerous than the old knives. Glad Malena is fine. 😊🥰💖
@@kristenchang2685 She didn't do this to address the issue.You cannot evaluate the toddler properly because the kid is in controlled environment. You can see they work hard to get her animated.Its difficult to get a accurate assessment in those types of videos.But there's something there though.
Y’all do know kids with disabilities laugh and play and sing and dance and still look normal. My son have done it all his life and is autistic and speech delayed. I used to get in arguments it’s no way he’s autistic he was way to handsome and dressed to fly to have a disability. Yes she’s 15 months but something seems off. The 7 month old baby at my congregation is way more alert than this child. She hear music she get to bouncing and smiling and laughing.
Thank you for writing this! It's like there's an overall negative opinion on anyone who is dealing with a disability. Poor Malena will get little to no support in her home, even though Raf has the resources to help her right now.
Personally I think you are doing an amazing job! You are both so involved in her upbringing and I think traveling while she is young is exposing her to so many things that most people in their entire life time never get to experience. I think that makes for a very well rounded child! I was raised very sheltered and because of that did not pursue certain things during my life because of being afraid. I applaud you both that she will be bi-lingual, that she is surrounded by so much LOVE and it shows. I don't know why people always try to find the negative. My brother didn't talk until he was 2 1/2 and to this day he is a quiet person but that has nothing to do with his intelligence... Her curious nature alone shows just how intelligent she is. To Hell with all the negativity! I think you are doing great!!
Your baby is fine. My nephew is 23 months. He does not walk, he only says mama dada. He does not wave, talk, you tell melena to take off baby shoes and she tried. My nephew won't even look at you if you say his name. He crawls Pace's he head bumps things. And he has not been diagnosed with autism. Maybe he needs tested??
Yes don't worry my friends son this was 30 something years ago her son everyone thought their was something wrong with him and at 3 he started talking very well!! Kids do things at their own pace ! Block people that say bad things Its your life!
Well, leave them alone! They have done a good job and giving their daughter a international cultural.So,by the time she is a teenager she will be speaking several languages and have worldview of life.
This is the first time I see daddy playing with Malenka. And defending his daughter and their method of raising her. Constructive criticism is not a bad thing as long as it’s not coming out in a mean-spirited manner. You are a beautiful family and Malenka is gorgeous.
He is with her and playing with her more than most dads I see who are out there working 2 jobs and never see their children… not sure why you would say this …
If you hate them so much why do you follow and comment. You literally spend all your free time watching their videos .... that's stalker mentality. You really need help. Even if they are bad ppl it doesn't make you a good one. So why complain about ppl that you're no better than.
@@user-iv3vu1ty7z Iyahs government name. She is not a Kubus, they are not legally married. They are liars. Their marriage doesn't exist in the court system.
My son, who is an only child. He didn't speak until he was 3. He was completely nonverbal, and basically, he just needed to be socialized. We did everything for him as an attentive parents should. Once, he was around other children at least 8 hours a day. He started speaking just like that. Your daughter is precious and obviously surrounded by love. You guys are doing an amazing job! Prayers and blessings to your family!❤
I’m a nurse and as such have a medical background that understands every child is different and doesn’t mean one is going to do better than another at life. If your pediatrician has a concern about her speech, language, comprehension etc that is between you and her pediatrician. People try to come up with a whole diagnosis from small clips of a child’s whole day. Some people want to make sure and tell you so you can get help, should she need it and address it as soon as possible which helps normally if they experience some type of developmental delay but as a parent myself I would not listen to random people on the street which is equivalent to what subscribers are to you guys ❤
Iyah has asked for medical help/ questions in the past from subscribers.Even when the toddler was sick after class returning back from Poland.She didn't know if they all had COVID of course she deleted the video but this was not a slight against her daughter.She use provocation for views.
I'm sorry just bcuz someone gives there 2 cents about you does not mean their hating or jealous. Maybe some ppl maybe and want your life but I believe most ppl don't sweetie, yes you have a beautiful family but everyone's not jealous and I'm sure you'll dismiss my comment and that's ok😊
You two are doing a great job with Your Daughter. Ignore people's blatant ignorance. I taught school for 18 years and raised 3 children. From what I have observed, she is head of the game. She appears to have very high intelligence. And she is not deaf.. Please do not allow some peoples opinions to discourage you two. God bless you two and your precious baby girl.
Malena is such a smart little girl! You are right, Raff and Iyah, every child develops at different stages in their lives. No two children are alike! I have seen Malena brought up so well by both of you. I see how well she interacts with you and your families, I see her so engaged with her books and toys, she is doing amazing! I am a mom of a child on the autism spectrum and I know how it would hurt if someone would pass some nasty comments on my child. Malena is brilliant and beautiful! Your right, Raff, the haters and their comments just are a reflection of themselves. Your baby is AMAZING!
