He speaks in short phrases like “want water” or “go playground”, but not full sentences yet. His pronunciation also isn’t very clear, especially words with “s” and “r”. At home we speak English and Mandarin could that be affecting him??
Is it true that kids who spend more time with friends their age tend to start talking faster? I’m starting to think of enrolling my son in a regular class so he can meet kids his age at home, all his “friends” are adults! Haha.
My daughter teacher mentioned she might have a mild speech delay because she doesn’t answer open-ended questions in class. But at home, she’s talkative and sings a lot. Why such a big difference between school and home 🙄😫
oh my... my 2 yo still mostly communicates with gestures. he’ll pull my hand to the fridge when he’s hungry, or bring me his bottle, but won’t say “milk” or “eat.” how can I encourage him to speak instead??
Hi doc i’m a bit anxious about my 2 yo... He doesn’t say many words yet, and sometimes he doesn’t look when we call his name. But he knows all the alphabets and numbers! Is it something to worry about?
HI... My 20-month-old babbles a lot and it sounds like he’s having a full conversation, but there are no real words yet. Is this still considered speech development?
Hi Doc... My little one used to say a few words but suddenly stopped. I’m really worried is this something serious? Like he forgot some of the words he used to say
doc my daughter is 3 now... but she still doesn’t speak in full sentences, only says short phrases. Is it too late for her to catch up?? how do we help
Every time someone says “don’t worry lah, he’ll talk when he’s ready”, I feel torn… I want to believe that, but what if he really needs help?
At home we speak both English and Mandarin. My 3-year-old mixes the two when talking. Will this confuse him or slow down his speech?
