The very word Retarded, in one sense meaning slow, explains things. Nearly all retarded people have some form of speech defect, often called Tardive Dysklesia- (fo some reason this is pronounced ( Tardiff). They have an odd nasal speech pattern one might associate with, yes, the Cartoon character Baby Huey- who was supposed to be retarded. Huey finished practically every episode with the sickening boast( I"m a Mental Retard!) Amazing that that was allowed on Cartoons in the fifties. They all have a strange, usually slowed drawl way of talking, and it stands out. This should not be confused with a dialect such as Cockney or a Spanish Accent, but is a definite Retarded accent. Colored Girls, for example comes out ( Cold Gales) we had a neighbor who was retarded and from her talk of Cold Gales in Atlantic City, we assumed she was talking about the weather! then she modified it, Cold Gales like the Supremes! Oh boy!

How does the attitude of family effect a mentally retarded child's self esteem?
All mentally retarded children have emotions and they understand love and care. They also understand who likes them and who do not (in most cases). Hence it is necessary that these children are given more love and care as they are special and it is not by their choice they are mentally retarded. They require the support of the family members - specifically parents and siblings and if possibly grand parents. It helps in the long run to improve their IQ. Their self esteem is impaired when they feel they are not given the right kind of attention and care. They deteriorate faster.
