How do I tell my friend her child is mentally delayed?
<|assistant|>
It is important to be gentle and respectful when broaching a subject like this with a friend. You could begin by saying something like, "I'm concerned about [your friend's child]'s development and I think they might be showing signs of delayed mental growth. It could be nothing and we can get [your friend's child] checked out by a professional, but I just thought I should let you know". It would be helpful for your friend to know if you have noticed any particular behaviors associated with delayed mental growth and what specific resources you could recommend to look further into this possibility.
