When Jude was in KG she had a speech problem. Her classmate Samir made fun of her and hurt her feelings. We see how her problem is resolved with time and the unexpected help of her baby brother Zaid.
Many children have a handicap, which makes them “different”. They may have to endure ridicule from other kids. In “I Can” Jude has to deal with a speech impediment. When kids make fun of her, she reacts with anger and violence. The teacher helps to diffuse the situation by explaining that ridiculing someone can be just as hurtful as hitting someone. Jude is given the acceptance she seeks and the time to overcome her impediment at her own pace. She realizes that she is no longer lisping while interacting with her baby brother Zaid. It is also an indirect allusion that baby brothers can be useful and are not just there to annoy the other siblings or compete for their parents' love and attention.
