My firstborn only starts talking at the age of 3. Before that, she will only give me a one-word answer but she can totally understand what I am talking or requesting her to do. It got me so worry when all the kids in her school are talking non-stop in full statement. Like you, I am so worried and start calling all the speech therapy school but having a mixed response or answer from them. After talking to her teachers as well as doing some online assessment on our own, we decided to wait for a while longer before sending her to actual assessment as it is quite costly. All out of sudden, she told me this one day: "Mama, give me (the) battery." in one full statement and after that, all her conversation is in full statement. From there then I realised she is a perfectionist like me and only wants to talk when she can speak perfectly. Now, she is my miss chatterbox aka radio with a spoilt STOP button who talk non-stop all day long. haha
