“She wasn’t able to sit up on her own for a very long time, and she didn’t start walking until she was 2, and that was with physical therapy,” she says.
The publication reports that Eloise was diagnosed with a deletion in chromosome 8 two and a half years ago, but Richards reveals that she is still navigating best courses of care for her daughter.
“She can only say a handful of words,” says Richards. “And there are times when she feels like her age in understanding, and then other times where it feels she’s emotionally 3 years old. It’s been challenging. I’m learning every day because they don’t really have a road map for her particular case.”
She added: “Every child is different,” she says. “You take care of your children no matter what is going on with them. I don’t know if [Eloise] is ever going to talk like a typical child. But as a parent, you want what’s best for your children, and you just do it.”
Denise and her hex-husband Charlie Sheen are the parents to Sam, 14, and Lola, 13, and the actress turned reality star adopted Eloise, 7 in 2012 as a single mother.
