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!

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!

[@aprilmay1061]

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. 👧🏼❤️

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 😊

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.

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”!!

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.

We want to know about SELENE, big boy 😂😜

[@tiffanyphillips1463]

Love this Vlog!!! Ya'll are amazing!!! Ya'll have a Beautiful daughter and nothing is wrong with her ❤

[@latashalea944]

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]

Agreed and I wish they addressed it sooner than letting the comments build up.

[@YousoChatty]

​@@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.

[@yolandahoward1099]

Way to clear the air Raf, and Iyah. Enjoyed your video.

[@kinarey]

You are fantastic parents ❤️💕 such a blessing to be able to expose her to both her cultures and the world. I wasn’t as blessed as you, but I did teach my children of their culture and a little traveling before preschool. They really do absorb and learn so much at such a young age. I just love your little family and adore your baby girl. Many blessings to you all. Enjoy your travels. ❤️🙏🏽

Rafa and iyah are back in his fathers house in the woods

[@yolandamontgomery3138]

As parents you do what’s best for your child. I raised 3 of my own and believe me it was different with each one. They are adults and have children of their own I don’t interfere with my children and how they raise their children. You both are good parents sweet baby girl is fine I wish I can just hug and kiss her. Don’t let people bring your spirits down.

[@ShanikaB]

She's adorable!❤

[@johnscott615]

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.

If they can coax her for another endorsement.Iyah and Raf are a piece of work!

[@beautifulbutterfly2349]

Your daughter is just fine.

[@tinkerbell1666]

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.

[@lindacooper1543]

It's out of love

[@butterscotch1972]

It’s ignorant criticism!!! Go back and watch more videos. He ALWAYS plays with her

[@kdassociates7397]

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 …

[@JulianaDaSilva-n2w]

Also another comment, if you can’t handle the comments turn comments off or just don’t post her, the channel is Raf and Iyah

[@tanyawilliams1856]

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.

[@tanyawilliams1856]

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?.

[@tanyawilliams1856]

Rafal is always home , how he got a job all lies. Lol they look ridiculous and crazy on the defense seriously.

[@tanyawilliams1856]

Why did a person had to say the baby should have her own plate , these two dummies should have known that lol.

[@tanyawilliams1856]

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.

You all are AWESOME parents!!

Pookie be wilin out😂😂😂😂

[@abhiruchidsilva2485]

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!

[@sarahjane9512]

Don;t put videos out there if you cannot take the negative comments....ETA, the baby / toddler is adorable.

[@Arlene_DOTK]

Great video guys and love Raf's comesbacks, comments, and sarcasm 👌👏👍IGNORE the absolute LOOSERS, they are miserable and have no life. Keep shining, love your beautiful family. God bless ❤🙏

[@UnFiltered-Beauty89]

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.

[@Glenb56]

I agree, it's the same lady with multiple accounts. She responds to her own comments.....

[@soulspirationgoddess]

@@Glenb56 😂😂 that’s insane

[@laadeedah]

Agreed, very odd!

[@beverlywalters7332]

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.
