@@saeedimani3759, thanks for the work you do. I have 2 sons with autism, and I wouldn't have coped without the support of speech therapists! They are in their 20s now, and are both university graduates! They were given a solid foundation when they were given speech therapy. One of my sons even graduated with first class honours!!!!! The work you do is important to the future of the kids. Thanks again! ❤️
Reading this make me feel so much better my daughter is 20 month old has not said a word and I’m just so scared she will be so far behind but your comment gives me home
It's TRUE, but a lot of people simply dont understand that you aren't speaking enough TO the child. Instead we're talking FOR them and taking what we know they are trying say. This isnmy sons problem. Will be 3 in a few weeks. Well, he is talking, but it's all blurred. No consonants.all vowels. I work a lot, the oldest isnt as helpful. Basic teenager, mother imdpes that thing where she gets it, so she just follows, never really correcting. I know he'll get where he needs to be but if the set up around him was kore oriented for his help, he'd already be speaking volumes, like other kids his age I've seen that are CLEARLY speaking. You can see the interactions and the influences they have.
Same to my daughter ,she started talking at 2 that made me confused however she is at 4 now started to speak still behind her school kids , i hope she will do it soon , thx your comment give me some confident that is normal as i though alwys
My younger sister did not talk until she turned almost 4. Consulted a lot of doctors until then. They all said she will speak not to worry. Now she is in HR ND and is a non stop chatter box
My son his 3 years he can call mom dad and her sister but can talk much can sing song from RUclips aswel just communication is a problem am worried and praying to God for a miracle
This video and your comments gives me hope. I’m so stressed over the fact the my son is 2 years old and is hardly speaking clearly. Often times he’s babbling. Whenever he wants your attention he will take your hand and pull you towards whatever he wants. I can also see the frustration on his face because I know he wants to talk so we can understand.
Heyyy same with my son. When he wants milk he will take my hand and lead me to where his milk bottles are. He's copying gestures, copying dances on youtube it's just that he dont talk much but he can say some words like dont, come, red, blue etc and some letters on abc
My son does the exact same thing. No matter how much we try, he just takes our hand or pushes us to the thing he wants. He just turned two and he barely says couple of words. Reading comments here makes me feel not as stressed about the matter, knowing we are not alone.
This pandemic doesn't help me get my child be social. With the lock down and social distancing. He lacks the social skills. Of course he's fine with me and dad but he's not used to being around other people and he doesn't seem like he's interested...
This is my child as well! He has to get used to someone new at first. Has not spoken one single word and is 14 months. But seems to be developing in everything else.
Don't pressure urself mother. We all feel the same way. we just need to be patient and stay communicating to our child. My son is 2 years and 8months old. He only speak few words which he only heard from us daily so we always try to teach him new words and gestures to communicate with us. We don't rush him to speak coz he understands us in some ways and he's a smart kid and always curious in everything. He can manage anything by himself like pulling a chair and climb up the table to get a glass of water or putting his toys on his bag after playing etc.
Thank you so much for this! My daughter is all like that except that she can do hand gestures like bye bye, flying kiss, gesturing 'where?', eyes blinking, etc.
My son was a pandemic kid, we live in melbourne australia where we had the longest lockdown in the world. Basically lived all his life for most part lockdown, while he developed really well he is struggling with speech he is almost 2 now only says mama dada and one word “car” that’s all, we are now seeking a speech therapist for him, we are not alone many lockdown kids are same.
Yep. Same with my son. First time I took him out at 3 he was asking about the weird lights on the floor. He had never seen florescent lights before. 🥺 He's an extrovert so it was super tough on him. He has speech issues as well.
To everyone who might need to hear it on this thread: if you see signs of autism in your child, it may be because of too much screen time. Please search "virtual autism" as it has become very common during this pandemic. My child has all the symptoms but when taken off all the screens, he has started getting better (especially at eye contact and socialising). Good luck to all of us in this pandemic world.
That's exactly what happened to my son. Cut off nearly any screentime ( only half an hour in the morning and another half in the evening before bedtime stories) and it's made a huge difference. And it's inly been one week. He even started napping again and his night terror have almost entirely subsided. There is still a lot of work to be done, but he is slowly thriving.
Omg youre whole video is for me i swear! My son is 21mo and doesnt say words. He babbles like no others business, but doesnt say any words. He is VERY aggressive and has slapped me right in the face! I can tell he is frustrated that he cant speak. Its alot of dadadadadauuuhhuhuhhh.. or varying pitches of uhhh.. and yayayayayayayayayamamamamamamaaa.but cant make the p or w sound. We had an evaluation last week, so hopefully well be seeing a speech therapist soon. They said there is only one in our town. I work with him at home and watch ms. Rachel on youtube. Pray for us.
I have my 2 year old in early intervention. She has taught me lots of exercises that I do with my some of random times of the day. He really loves the interaction and engagement. He thinks it’s fun and probably isn’t aware that he’s learning. I see the progress little by little everyday so I’m completely encouraged to take 10 mines out the day a few times a day and sing sings and teach him words and phrases. He may not say the words but I can hear him babbling the melody. It’s so cute. I taught him to clap today which is big bc soon he will see that as a way to show excitement. Slowly he’s checking his milestones off the chart.
Would love to see a collab with you and a child psychologist talking about some of the differences between speech delay and things like autism or attachment disorders in toddlers.
I think speech issues are the hardest thing for both kids and parents to go through. I never realized how difficult the English language is to speak until I had kids. It has caused so much frustration. It effects literally everything. I always worry if kids will make fun of him or if the teacher won't like him if she can't understand him. I didn't discipline him correctly as a toddler bc he didn't speak and I didn't know if he understood the rules. So this led to behavior issues. I even regret his name bc he can't say it. He can write it though. He yells at us sometimes bc "we can't hear him" so I have to explain it's annunciation, not sound. We spent literally 20 min. trying to decipher "look at that dirt pile" while driving on the highway. 🤣 I try to make a joke out of it, but then worry he's looking at it like teasing. Just a lot of emotions with it. I know it's common and most kids outgrow it. It's just frustrating, especially when I see 1 year olds talking in complete sentences. My kid didn't talk until he was close to 3.
my daughter is 2.5 years old she says her ABC"s and can count 1-10 , she just babbles otherwise i was recommended that she get an eval.. so speech therapy and occupational therapy will be starting soon...I really feel that she knows a lot and is fully aware she just cant let it out yet and she will when she's ready Lord willing.
Hi Hermine, YES I would also recommend an evaluation. If you are also looking to help at home I have a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do. Check out my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
My Son is turning 2 next month .He could read A to Z and 1 to 10 when he was 15 months old .He not talking , Sometimes he just says “No “ and “wait “.Most of the time he say ABC . When I called his name he don’t respond .Sometime he not interested what happened to other people. (When he was until 12 months he is normal baby , he responded when we called his name , he interested in everything) Is it speech delay or Autism ? I really scared 😦
If you can I would see out an evaluation for him, just so you know! Check out the free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
This is one of your best videos like this. The graphics and music are a nice touch and you spent more time giving out information than promoting your course. I am just one person, but I really liked the format of this video and noticed the increased production value!
The waving thing has been debunked. Toddlers and babies are instinctually meant to question who is around them other than their mother/father. They will not always want to interact and wave and be all bubbly with new people. It is extremely common to question new people.
well why some don't even wave at their parents and family members they see every day? and there are many happy children that wave at strangers all the time. it has NOT been debunked.
I’ve noticed that alot of parents are unwilling to recognize their children have speech delays. I’m a children health care worker and often I see children who are 2 years old and still baby talk and when are spoke to, they have no idea how to communicate. Or they are unable to form simple sentences such as “ I’m hungry”.or “ where are you”. Simple things like that. However, when I speak to parents about it, I’m often faced with “ She talks a lot, she knows a lot.”. I understand parents may not feel happy when told that their child needs help. However, because of their ego, the children end up not getting the kind of help they need.
It’s the best feeling when you come to these videos concerned and leave relieved. 14 months-16 words, right on track. Just frustrated none of them are “mama” lol
See my child isn’t talking yet he’s 21 months but he understands everything we say. And I mean he actually understands. We dont use our hands to talk to him and he can follow any demand we give him. Like “go throw that in the garbage please” etc
My son in law spoke to his therapist and she said same thing: her one child didn’t speak until 3. I had 2 children who started speaking at 6 months, one at 3. But, he used pointing and hand gestures, and then at 3 spoke in full sentences. So, I wasn’t concerned about my grandson at first. Now, what his father does is not to acknowledge is that Max had many more words 6 months ago, now, almost none. Speech regression is totally different than a late talker. Beware uninformed parents getting information with uninformed information.
Using sign language with young ones helps SO MUCH with communication, especially when they struggle with language. It is always good to get an evaluation from a trained professional. Best of luck to you!
I think a lot of people who come here are concerned their child could be on the Autism spectrum. So are comparing this with speech delay. That gap between 2, 3 and 4 is massive and you get explosive development bursts which seem to come out of nowhere. Just relax and give your child the time to develop in their own individual way, they will get there. Try not to compare to others. Obviously I’m not suggesting not to give help to those that need it. But Just save yourself the torment of making your own diagnosis from relentless google searches. Kids are stressful! Toddlers do most of the early ASD “red flags” in normal day life or play, so again don’t be too quick to panic as they will likely grow out of them. The ones they don’t it’s simply because we are all on the spectrum in some way or another.
Kindly don't misguide people living in denial is no way going to help a kid with ASD he or she needs early intervention to live stable life.. don't screw up their future just because you don't want to accept their condition... kindly don't mislead others keep your absurd theories to yourself and let the professionals handle the rest.
@@siddharthbehura was that directed at me as I wasn’t sure? Personally I was just speaking as a parent who’s child was labelled by private nursery staff early on. I posted my comment in a moment of genuine relief as those red flags have all disappeared as I write this. Friends of ours had a similar experience. I don’t do denial, I am just not so quick to judge.
Hi, my son is 3 years and 2 months old, he doesn’t speak at all. He understands language, he knows words and wants to talk. If we see a blue car, I’ll ask him “what colour is this car?” And he will make the B with his mouth but won’t say it, and this goes for many words. He maybe says we words at random here and there. Yesterday he said “done” after finishing his dinner , but it’s so random. He definitely understands language as I can tell him what to do without doing any hand motions and he know what I want. He is obviously very smart, can count, learns very fast yet the speech is where he is delayed. I spend a lot of time with him in the car and I try to make him call things but then He gets mad at me. So I back off and give him a break. I don’t believe he is autistic and he doesn’t exhibit any traits of autism. We want to send him to school next year but I am worried he will not have a good time due to that delay. Should we get him into speech therapy or continue trying at home?
At the age of 20 months, my little girl went to see a speech therapist, because she spoke her fantasy language and knew only 20 real words. Everything was fine with the speech therapist, but she still speaks her language. Of these 5 characters, she has 2. Now she is 2.5 years old, she tells some short sentences of 2-3 words, she knows colors, numbers in two languages, her name and how old she is, she repeats most of the words. But I notice that children her age talk more than she does. She normally lives in a bilingual environment. I need advice sometimes I think it’s ok and sometimes I worry.
my son is 19 months and uses a lot of sign language to communicate wants, ( down, up, hungry, food, tired, ) etc. Some words are there....I know more should be, but he says a new word every week, everyone is at their pace.
My son is 17.5 months and he says 6 or 7 words and the other is his baby language daadaa and other babling He understands when i say close the door open the door or the fridge he knwos every furniture and some of body parts ...he points when he want something or when he show something to me and am very glad seeing this video
I have a one year old who has spent most of her life quarantined and minimal interaction with other children and I wonder if that is a contributor to her semi delayed speech? She says a few words (mama, dada, baba) but no other words. I’m a first time mom so honestly I’m not sure if that’s a normal amount or not.
Hi CMC, this is a rough time to be raising a little one with quarantine and far more social isolation. That could certainly be part of the problem. Do you read to her every day? Talk to her throughout the day? Also, I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you so much for responding! I do read to her every night before bed, but she’s so tired and fussy by then that I think maybe during the day might be better to do? I talk to her constantly but the bigger words just aren’t coming along. I will say, she is very verbal and constantly babbling to herself so maybe she is saying words and I just can’t make them out.
Of course! I get that, when kids are tired engagement is really hard. But YES read to her during the day then, or check out some of great videos with fun interactive ideas that can help you work with her. If you're feeling really inspired (or when you're ready) I also have an online course that teaches parents how to teach their kiddos how to talk. school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Hey! I wanted to know if you've seen any improvement in speech. I have a 17 month old who isn't talking (mama, dada, nana and no is the limit). Is your baby talking now? If so what did you do?
I wouldn’t worry the baby is only one years old that is not a concern my baby is doing the same thing I have 3 children they all talked late but they walk early and did everything else two oldest are honor students with absolutely no speech delays try not to compare your child to others or fit them into a timeframe read the other comments each child is different it’s just like a doctor telling us we all have to be a certain weight yes that’s ideal but we are all unique and different I wouldn’t be concerned until the child is like two 1/2 3 years of age
The way our pediatrician mentioned to us is that yes in many cases the baby or toddler will catch up on their own BUT the thought is the things that seem behind some to do speech, physical therapy or both so that when you get to pre-k the child worse case is even to ahead of the curve instead of counting on catching up naturally and being behind the curve. Then everything can amplify in a negative and bigger way when they go to pre-k.
My son is literally almost 3 and will not communicate! He says words like, uh-oh, oh no, sit down, up, apple, thank you, goodnight, fish, cat, candies, cookies. He knows his colors and can count to 20, but doesn't seem capable of having conversation! I read to him and all those things but nothing. He throws a fit and grunts when he sees me and his mom talking to one another or other people. But when we try and talk to him he just stares or looks around. He understands most directions like, "Close the door" "Come here" and "Turn the light on/off." I don't wanna blame the pandemic, but me and his mom were all he's had any socialization with during his first 2 years of life. He's learned so much, but communication is where we struggle. The fact that I'm on youtube for this speaks for its self😭😭😭 Its heartbreaking as a father honestly.
I am so sorry you are so upset about this! I would speak with his pediatrician about your concerns. Here is another video on speech delay, ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps!
So I made a mistake by watching this video and thinking "how come my kid is 18 months and not fluent in English already?". Mamas if you are watching it please don't, talk to your pediatrician instead. I was so worried that my kid says only about 10 words at 18 months then I go to my pediatrician with my crazy thoughts and he shows me the chart where it says 2-3 words at 18 months in addition to mama, dada! Don't watch RUclips videos about your child development Iike I did but talk to a real doctor instead!
My son is almost 2 and he used to say about 5 words and then quit altogether. We have a speech therapist but he really isn’t saying much yet. His receptive language is awesome though. We are hoping he’s just a little behind. He says “ba” for everything
Speak with his pediatrician if you are concerned, it is great he is doing well with receptive language! Feel free to sign up for my free guide book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
My son is 16 months old, and not talking like at all. He’s said like mama or dada a few times. He tries to say our dogs name. He doesn’t like to play with other kids. He almost seems terrified of other kids. He plays by himself a lot. I’ve tried showing him shapes and bought him educational toys to help with talking and doing other things. I’ve talked to his doctor about these signs . He didn’t seem too concerned. He said if he’s 2 years old and still “grunting” to communicate; he’d be a little bit concerned. In the mean time, I really don’t know how to help my son. I had him at 19 and just recently turned 21.

I'm waiting to get my son evaluated. He's 15 months and hasn't said his first word. He didn't even babble "mamama" and "bababa" until after his first birthday, and still no other consonants. Not to mention no pointing or waving or clapping.
My son had evaluation today. He is almost 24 months. He says about 10 words and few sentences. The thing I was worried about was autism. But he doesn't have problem with finger pointing, he mostly responds to his name, doesn't have repetitive behaviour, has great eye contact. So they eveluated that his motor skills are good, non verbal comunication also good, but understanding of the language is at abput 16 months and language at about 1 years (baby language). They said that he needs speach therepy because he probably want talk on his own mostly because he tends to give up easely if something is to hard to lear and has short atantion spann.
My granddaughter is 27 months. She doesnt even put two words together. Her 2 older sisters were talking good at that age. Their mom was talking at that age as well. But it good just be speech delay. My daughter is afraid she has autism. The doctor just wants her to see a speech therapist.
My son has all of this ...some people keeps telling me go get him check cuz I know he might have some issue ....he was such a good baby until he was 1 ....than he started to watch TV and smartphone and he started to close himself up . We went to the doctor he did alla the test and everything was ok .No screen time and no smartphone ....He started to improve but in this day he still is not talking ...he says Ah for everything .. points towards everything he wants or wants to show me . And the dog says wof wof .....I am about to start speech therapy and hopefully it will help
My son is 3 1/2 and exhibits 4/5 signs. I’m concerned and have been seeking speech therapy but everyone has costs we just can’t afford right now. He was our first child and we as first time parents could benefit from some direction
You can have him evaluated and they will do the speech therapy for free (if he qualifies) as early intervention. Then he will receive speech therapy. If he's in school like preschool or daycare you can ask to have him evaluated. Otherwise your pediatrician can send you to a speech therapist to be evaluated. Either case they drag their feet so you do have to sorta push the issue.
I tried to talk to my son’s doctor about him not speaking hardly at all he can say dada and bye. He is 19 months old. The doctor literally told me that I was letting him point and grunt rather than trying to get him to communicate without even doing an assessment.
These videos are helpful thanks for sharing. I have hope for our babies. My son is 2 1/2 he doesn’t say much but he understands what I’m saying to him. He can say mama daddy Tay nana Jesus. If you’re wondering I pray and go to church. So that’s why he says Jesus.
2 year old daughter 1, She only speaks Mom, Dada and her own language 2, I am not aware of this but I will try. She follows direct which I think was great but I am not aware on the hand gestures which is I am going to try. 3, I contact was the only think we are aware of and she is good at it. She plays whenever she saw other kids but this pandemic really is so hard for us. She is so clingy to me and my 2 aunts. 4. She is just say Mom, Dada and others are just bubbling or her own language. 😭 5. Well I didn't notice it yet. Yes she has trantrums but I will observed on this. Thank you for this.
My son just turned 4 he’s still behind a bit but talks and communicates great. My biggest pet peeve when we were in the early years was people telling just read books to him as though that was it. I just ignored it they meant well

Also i noticed that she learns anything fast n keeps repeating them whole day or for some days n then she looses interests in those words n doesn’t want to utter them again after few days. She has learnt 1-10 numbers n some alphabet but all in English language n all rhymes she has learnt in english. Surprisingly hindi is our mother tongue n we speak all the tym at our home in hindi n she doesn’t pick a word of this language
My daughter is 20 months old and is “talking” (over 100 words) but she only says part of a word.For example for dog she says da, cat is ca, happy is hap. She does this for all words she is learning and I try to get her to repeat the word the proper way. Her pediatrician wants to wait until 2 for a referral to speech therapy.
That is great she is definitely trying, here is a video on some DIY speech therapy you can try if you are concerned ruclips.net/video/6tbWU2shHvw/видео.html I hope this helps.
This is so relatable. Soon as you said babbling my son says 3 main words, which are Dora (childminder is Laura and can't say it yet), dada and ugh (grunt). He's 18 months, and I'm in the UK and tried my health visitor for almost a year with no luck, my childminder is also helping with the referral and soon as he hit 18 months they were able to escalate it on my behalf x
Hi there I’m also in the uk and was wondering what one needs to do to get a referral… may daughter will be 2 in feb do I just wait till that health review we somehow didn’t have an 18month one … yikessss
Thank You for this. My son just turned 3, and has lots of words but cannot put them together in a sentence or form any actual conversation. We are waiting for a speech pathology assesment, but in Nova Scotia Canada, the wait is 6months plus :-(
Katie Rideout my son he put lot of things together but not in right way like : me nursery papa. Or « a me slide « for example if he want to go to a slide. I’m waiting for speech therapy as well because he love to sing or talk 24/7 but nothing proper yet
@@nataliatalamali1355 my son won't use "I" or "me" he will just present you with something "open" or sometimes "open please" or "night night mommy!" And run to his bed when he's tired. 2 months later, 8months total this far waiting for speech therapy and still no call yet.
Thank u so much for this informative video, i can understand now that my child is having problem talking n i need help. My child is 22 months n bable a lot lot like whole day, she says some words to be precise 11 words only in our language which is hindi but cannot communicate her needs. Surprisingly She has learnt english language rhymes (complete sentences till the end) n keeps repeating them whole day like twinkle twinkle, jony jony,etc but she don’t talk n is highly frustrated n furious all day every day, hitting me n family in face is a general ordeal of hers. And she doesn’t like to make eye contact or interact wth anyone except objects

I know a child who literally babbles, they are almost 4. Mom is convinced it’s because they are learning two languages and they are getting confused. We keep telling her that we (and myself directly) work with many children who are learning two languages at once, and they can communicate perfectly fine with words not just sounds. Also seeing that I am not a fluent Spanish speaker yet, mom is convinced I just don’t understand even though another child came up to me, spoke to me in Spanish, While the mom was standing there, and I answered the child in English and there was NO CONFUSION between me and the other child. I feel bad for that child not getting the help the need.
I am sorry you are feeling bad for this child that can be tough, Here is a video I have on bilingualism hopefully it helps! ruclips.net/video/lTx4vxY48PI/видео.html
I feel like we wont know the impact of lockdowns on these children for a long time. My son was born dec 26 right before we went into lockdown and he has suffered. Not only because we couldn’t leave the house, but also because I was swamped helping my kindergartner with virtual school. At my sons 18 month appointment I am going to ask for 0/3 I feel like a failure 😞
Agreed 100%… at my daughter’s nursery they did mention they have seen similarities across the kids due to the limited interaction they had at the early stages during lockdown … no baby classes, not family interaction etc. You’re not alone! Stay strong we are in it with you!
Our three year old granddaughter does not have any level of conversational speech and her parents are too busy glued to their cellphones to recognize that their is an issue. They need to put down the phone and pay attention to her development. It’s frustrating... 🤷🏻♀️
My son turned two in December, and he uses some words but not nearly as much as he should. When i get his attention, he seems to pick the things up but once his attention is gone, it's hard to get him back to wanting to learn. Do you have any tips to make things more entertaining for him to keep his attention?
I am so sorry you are feeling concerned, it is great he does use some words. If you are concerned definitely speak with his pediatrician. Feel free to sign up for my free guidebook walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
I have a daughter who just turned 3 in nov she can talk, but does not necessarily talk to us or make conversation with us she will say she needs to go to the potty or simple things like drink or other things she may want. She will also repeat things that you say if she feels like it, but you are not really able to ask her what she is doing or things along those lines she just won’t answer and almost acts like she doesn’t hear you (we have had her hearing checked and it is fine). she is also not very sociable some days she is more Interactive than others. She usually will not say hi or bye to people and does not make a lot of eye contact although some days she is better with this than other days, but a lot of times she will not even acknowledge other adults. She is very smart like she knows her ABCs and can also recognize them she can also count to ten and sometimes higher, very good at puzzles and other things, but it seems like she is having issues in some ways with social skills and in ways communication. I stay at home with her and she is not around children a lot of the time. She recently in the last couple months started saying mommy and daddy and although she knows her name and will repeat it she will not tell me it if I ask her. She also seems to have problems with directions a lot of time. Some family members think she may have some kind of a learning disability or even autism. I am very hesitant on accepting this, but wonder what you may think or what kind of therapy may be needed.
Hi Celena, have you had an evaluation done? I cannot say for sure anything without evaluating her myself but I highly recommend she be evaluated!

A friend’s 2 1/2 yr old only says ‘ehhhhhh’ while pointing. It is very annoying to me when I am with her. I have not heard her say anything. She also gets very upset if she is around other kids she does not know…to the point of having to leave the event.
I have my 2 year old in early intervention because his twin is using complete sentences such as SHUT THE DOOR! NO, Mine and Thank you! (He actually says Danku) and he is just babbling like Donnie from the Wild Thornberries. He is also pulling all his hair out and doesn't always respond when I call his name. 😞
That’s literally my son.. he doesn’t have any interest in what I have to say or if he sees new people.. he actually doesn’t like new kids he would literally cry and when our visitors will leave he would be so happy.. he doesn’t wave or say hi and definitely doesn’t make the sounds it. He is 15 months now and I don’t know it makes me really upset. Oh and on top of that he doesn’t eat on his own and everything should be smashed like purée. He doesn’t know how to swallow anything.
My daughter will be 3 in July of 2021. She Babbles a lot. I usually know what she wants 95 percent of the time but she does get mad and frustrated when I don’t know what she wants. She actually started out with words then stopped using them. She would say puppy and a few other ones but has stopped like she is not interested anymore. Her ears are great and we have been seeing an SLP but I feel like it’s really not helping. It’s only been like a month and a half but still.
Hi Eagles, are you working with her at home as well? You would be amazed the difference when everyone in the child's world uses similar strategies working with them!

Here is a video on speech and language development ruclips.net/video/vj3iR5nC7Ow/видео.html I hope this helps! If you are concerned talk with your child's pediatrician
My child is 21 months old now. She is not communicating with us. She doesn't try to tell or ask for anything. When she see something like food, water, snacks she shows her interest making some excited actions. Thats all. Has not started even call mom or dad. What shall I do to improve her ability to communicate?
Reach out to your child's pediatrician if you are concerned. Here is another video on speech delay ruclips.net/video/DlSQd-4qmi8/видео.html I hope this helps.
Thank you for this video. My daughter just turned two. She can sing multiple songs and even quote movies perfectly, however when it comes down to communicating she isn’t good verbally. My husband and I are both mommy and she will say simple things like up please, hi, bye, bobo (our dog), Oo yummy, and some other things but isn’t good telling us what she wants. She will grab me by the hand take me to the toy or area she wants to play with and point at the object she wants me to play with her with but doesn’t verbally say what she wants. I called my pediatrician today and they are going to send a request to jhach to get evaluated. They won’t see he till may (I put her on the cancellation list too. Hopefully by then she will say a lot more. Crossing my fingers she is a late talker. She is developing in other areas more than speech, like math, building, art, has advanced motor skills, and excels in crafts cooking and more. I’m not concerned her having autism she is just delayed in verbally communicating.
That is great she is singing a lot of songs I am sure that is so fun! I am sorry you are concerned it is great to take those concerns to the pediatrician just to get evaluated. Feel free to sign up for my free e-book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/ I hope this helps!
My daughter does the same with taking our hands to what she wants and points at it and says please… I will then point at the item and say what it is for future reference or help her repeat it but she doesn’t at the moment.
My nearly 16 month old is showing all the 5 signs. But I have a question is speech delay n autism are two different things. P.S. he has a good eye contact though
Thank you so much!! My son just turned 2 in March, he is showing all the signs for language delay. I called to make an appointment for a speech therapy evaluation. However, with this whole coronavirus pandemic; we have to wait a bit longer. I have been working with him at home. He has improved a lot. I did want to ask, he does say more of a eeeeee sound than a ahhh sound you mentioned in this video; is that common?
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover best toddler parenting books try Loctavan Teaching Toddler Strategy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Hi Kayla, Thank you for these informational videos. As an adult on the autism spectrum my difficulty among other things is communicating with others socially often invisible in a crowded room, ashamed to have this problem. When people ask me certain questions it takes me time to respond. Often they get upset at me for not answering right away, I have to think about the question and process it and still struggle with stuttering to make a clear answer, Anyway, do you work with adults too or is it only kids, or how do you know if a speech therapist is a right fit as an adult? Thanks. And i am hoping to get help soon through the Regional Center here in Central Cali. Ryan.
My son is 17 months and doesn't speak a word. He does not respond when his name is called. He does not focus when we talk to him. Can't understand anything. Really worry about him !!
I am so sorry to hear you are worried, I would definitely speak with his pediatrician about your concerns. Here is another video with some more information, ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps.
I used her stance -- you can't just say however "go get 'that" for me' unrealistic. If you hold your hands down and say go get me your cup, or ball. My son is able to do this, parents try it that way but use a word.
My son is 2 and has only learned about 4 words such as moma Dada and nite nite and baby. However he recently stopped using these words all together. Randomly he may say momma but for the last month or 2 he doesn't really talk at all just babling. He also has a delay in fine motor skills and he doesn't self feed.
My boy turned 3 today. He knows many songs he can account up to 25 and backwards. He watches cartoons and tells what’s tiger fixing to say before tiger says. He can get on my phone pull up the RUclips and look for his fave cartoon he knows where are everything we hide from him mostly candy and cookies. He can point and say fruits . Now Odd things he does. He will never turn when you call his name ( Alexander) He is VERY territorial nobody can touch his mom including me ( dad) he loves old cars and he loves to run around the car for hours at a time . He does not like to see a lighter laying on the table it must stand upright. And over all what makes me worry too much is his speaking delay. He will not put words together if he wants you to do something for him. Please don’t make no jokes out of these I’m a parent who’s seeking real help . Thanks 🙏
Hi Koshikner, it would be a good idea to seek an evaluation. You shared a lot of really important information a professional could use to help point you in the right direction. It is too hard to say through text online! I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
I agree with @blood. This sounds more like autism. I know we’re afraid of that word but in today’s world it’s not the worst as there are early interventions that could be put in place to help. Best wishes to you and your son.
My son is really social, loves people and can understand some of what we are saying to him, hes still quite young and 14 months old but not doing more than saying letter like A Ber and his nickname which is D he goes Deeeeee he will also mumble mum mum mum but he doesnt know thats me i dont think, apart from that no more words and he can sometimes get frustrated with not us but himself when he cant show us what he means :( waiting for the health visitors to call me back to maybe refer me to the speech therapist so i can see if he is behind or just going to be a late talker!
My son is 2 years and 2 months. He does not talk at all, say words that is. He understands when we ask him, for a kiss, when we say thank you, and he hands us items, when we say shoes, he knows that means we're leaving or going outside. He babbles and he grunts, a lot. We're struggling because he does not know how to tell us what's wrong, so he will cry and gets frustrated. We don't know what to do. I want t help him, and even if I do repetition he doesn't seem to repeat what I say.
Hi! Ican tell you are worried. I'm sorry to hear he isn't talking yet. I have tons of free advice here on youtube but if you are looking to take serious action, look into my online course school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
My 16 month old doesn't say any words, he used to say "mama" a bit not towards me just as a sound but now he doesn't even do that. I'm waiting for an appointment with a speech therapist but with everything going on I have no idea when that will be.
What happened did your baby talk now? My baby is 18 months old and she has the same issue I am worried so much. Earlier she used to say babababa mamamama and 'bye' now for a month she is not saying any thing just nenenene for every thing. I don't understand probably she is watching baby rhymes in English and we used to talk in a different languages. Probably she is not able to understand the language.😔
Thank you for watching. It has been hard on so many families. Hopefully, you can get the help you need soon. For now, I hope my channel helps; also, feel free to check out my blog. Here is a post that may help you walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/5-ways-language-at-home/
Would it still be considered a speech delay if my child is really good at understanding but doesn’t talk much? Everyone believes my child is “advanced” or whatever at understanding but he doesn’t say as many things. He is 19 months and I can tell him “go get me a diaper” and he will go into another room, find the diapers, find the wipes and bring them back to me and just every day things like that like throwing things away, cleaning up toys, I say “bath time” he goes upstairs to the bath, I say “time to brush our teeth” and he will run to the bathroom, grab his stool and put it in front of the sink and grab his tooth brush. “Time to read a book” he goes into another room and grabs the book. Idk there is just so many things he understands without gesturing (and more with gesturing obviously) but he probably says like 10 words.
Point being. All parents must set their phones , work , house work , whatever it is Aside and make time to TALK, SING, and Play with your child showing it toys and books , even when they are crying or upset show and respond to your baby as if you know exactly whats wrong so they feel understood. My baby is only Two months old! And although she can not speak words she responds to you with all her vowels and consonants, she even CHiMES in When other people are having a conversation, and when she is crying die to sleepiness i will talk to her asking"whats wrong? , oh your sleepy?, momma knows , " & she will stop crying and talk back !! Its just a matter of realky taking time talking to them
My son definitely gets frustrated trying to communicate with me, and I think he only understands my gestures, but not what I’m saying. He says words and will string 2-4 together to form “sentences” on his own and can repeat my words and short phrases, but has trouble expressing what he wants and mostly babbles. He just turned 2 five days ago. His pediatrician recommended speech therapy yesterday at his 2 year visit.
Hi Brittany, So the pediatrician is suggesting you seek an evaluation? I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you for replying. Yes, though she couldn’t get a good read on his vocabulary because almost the entire appointment was a temper tantrum because he was tired, but it was a temper tantrum with almost no words. I’ll watch some more of your videos, and I think I may also get the course. Anything to help him progress.
My 3.5 year old daughter wont talk...she is repeating every word and peoms...she ask for food, water, ipad, phone etc.. she knows alphabets, numbers and shapes...but she doesn't talk properly
My son has all of these and he is 5. I thought it was autism but the psychologist said it wasn't. We have been to a speech therapist and she say she can't help him cause she thinks is something else than just speech delay. So I don't get any help from anyone and I'm so stressed about him starting school. I live in Sweden and we don't have private speech therapists or home schooling program :(
Speak with your daughters pediatrician about your concerns. Here is another video on speech delay ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps.
As a parent I think speech therapists are grossly underappreciated. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much! :)
They actually charge the same as psychologists
I agree
As a speech therapist , I agree
@@saeedimani3759, thanks for the work you do.
I have 2 sons with autism, and I wouldn't have coped without the support of speech therapists!
They are in their 20s now, and are both university graduates! They were given a solid foundation when they were given speech therapy. One of my sons even graduated with first class honours!!!!!
The work you do is important to the future of the kids. Thanks again! ❤️
My sister didn't talk until she was 3! And there was no problem, she was just a late talker. Everyone develops at their own pace.
Reading this make me feel so much better my daughter is 20 month old has not said a word and I’m just so scared she will be so far behind but your comment gives me home
what was she doing before that, babbling ?
Now she is speaking
My grandson will be 3 in February and says nothing just jargon ..😏😏😏
It's TRUE, but a lot of people simply dont understand that you aren't speaking enough TO the child. Instead we're talking FOR them and taking what we know they are trying say.
This isnmy sons problem. Will be 3 in a few weeks.
Well, he is talking, but it's all blurred. No consonants.all vowels.
I work a lot, the oldest isnt as helpful. Basic teenager, mother imdpes that thing where she gets it, so she just follows, never really correcting.
I know he'll get where he needs to be but if the set up around him was kore oriented for his help, he'd already be speaking volumes, like other kids his age I've seen that are CLEARLY speaking.
You can see the interactions and the influences they have.
According to my aunt and parents, I started to talk between 3-4 years old. Everyone has their own pace.
Same to my daughter ,she started talking at 2 that made me confused however she is at 4 now started to speak still behind her school kids , i hope she will do it soon , thx your comment give me some confident that is normal as i though alwys
My younger sister did not talk until she turned almost 4. Consulted a lot of doctors until then. They all said she will speak not to worry. Now she is in HR ND and is a non stop chatter box
Was going to say or ask this too
My son his 3 years he can call mom dad and her sister but can talk much can sing song from RUclips aswel just communication is a problem am worried and praying to God for a miracle
My baby is two years four months old she's not yet talking anything.. She's telling only meeeee meeeee meeeee for everything.. I'm worried lot
This video and your comments gives me hope. I’m so stressed over the fact the my son is 2 years old and is hardly speaking clearly. Often times he’s babbling. Whenever he wants your attention he will take your hand and pull you towards whatever he wants.
I can also see the frustration on his face because I know he wants to talk so we can understand.
Thank you for watching I am glad this gives you hope. I hope my channel helps.
Heyyy same with my son. When he wants milk he will take my hand and lead me to where his milk bottles are. He's copying gestures, copying dances on youtube it's just that he dont talk much but he can say some words like dont, come, red, blue etc and some letters on abc
I'm in the same boat. My son jus turned 2 a couple of weeks ago and does that exact thing...
Same here dear, can't wait till he starts talking
My son does the exact same thing. No matter how much we try, he just takes our hand or pushes us to the thing he wants. He just turned two and he barely says couple of words. Reading comments here makes me feel not as stressed about the matter, knowing we are not alone.
This pandemic doesn't help me get my child be social. With the lock down and social distancing. He lacks the social skills. Of course he's fine with me and dad but he's not used to being around other people and he doesn't seem like he's interested...
AJ, it really is a struggle right now.
This is my child as well! He has to get used to someone new at first. Has not spoken one single word and is 14 months. But seems to be developing in everything else.
Same with me
Same goes to my daughter at 1 year old.
Same 😔 it's so depressing. No mommy meet up groups nothing. I try my best but my little one is missing out on so much
Don't pressure urself mother. We all feel the same way. we just need to be patient and stay communicating to our child. My son is 2 years and 8months old. He only speak few words which he only heard from us daily so we always try to teach him new words and gestures to communicate with us. We don't rush him to speak coz he understands us in some ways and he's a smart kid and always curious in everything. He can manage anything by himself like pulling a chair and climb up the table to get a glass of water or putting his toys on his bag after playing etc.
There are definitely a lot of pressures on mothers, you are doing great teaching his and being patient with him.
Thank you so much for this! My daughter is all like that except that she can do hand gestures like bye bye, flying kiss, gesturing 'where?', eyes blinking, etc.
Same as my baby how old is she now?
My son was a pandemic kid, we live in melbourne australia where we had the longest lockdown in the world. Basically lived all his life for most part lockdown, while he developed really well he is struggling with speech he is almost 2 now only says mama dada and one word “car” that’s all, we are now seeking a speech therapist for him, we are not alone many lockdown kids are same.
Yep. Same with my son. First time I took him out at 3 he was asking about the weird lights on the floor. He had never seen florescent lights before. 🥺 He's an extrovert so it was super tough on him. He has speech issues as well.
My lock down baby is doing the same
That’s so true my daughter also only says mama and dada and she’s 2 year one month I’m really concerned now 😞😞
Same in here my son is 22 months old and doesn’t use words yet. But also he doesn’t say mama nor dada:(We had a nasty lockdown in Singapore also :(
Same with sister, she is only 2 born in the Covid year, and the only thing says are “mama” “dada” and a little more words..
To everyone who might need to hear it on this thread: if you see signs of autism in your child, it may be because of too much screen time. Please search "virtual autism" as it has become very common during this pandemic. My child has all the symptoms but when taken off all the screens, he has started getting better (especially at eye contact and socialising). Good luck to all of us in this pandemic world.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you
Thank you
You gave me a new hope
That's exactly what happened to my son. Cut off nearly any screentime ( only half an hour in the morning and another half in the evening before bedtime stories) and it's made a huge difference. And it's inly been one week. He even started napping again and his night terror have almost entirely subsided. There is still a lot of work to be done, but he is slowly thriving.
Omg youre whole video is for me i swear! My son is 21mo and doesnt say words. He babbles like no others business, but doesnt say any words. He is VERY aggressive and has slapped me right in the face! I can tell he is frustrated that he cant speak. Its alot of dadadadadauuuhhuhuhhh.. or varying pitches of uhhh.. and yayayayayayayayayamamamamamamaaa.but cant make the p or w sound. We had an evaluation last week, so hopefully well be seeing a speech therapist soon. They said there is only one in our town. I work with him at home and watch ms. Rachel on youtube. Pray for us.
Hi! I hope speech therapy goes well!
I have my 2 year old in early intervention. She has taught me lots of exercises that I do with my some of random times of the day. He really loves the interaction and engagement. He thinks it’s fun and probably isn’t aware that he’s learning. I see the progress little by little everyday so I’m completely encouraged to take 10 mines out the day a few times a day and sing sings and teach him words and phrases. He may not say the words but I can hear him babbling the melody. It’s so cute. I taught him to clap today which is big bc soon he will see that as a way to show excitement. Slowly he’s checking his milestones off the chart.
Hi Shantiqua! That is amazing! So glad to hear. A little work every day can make a HUGE difference! :)
I never knew "ah" for things wasn't so normal! That as well as the other signs is what my 2.5 year old does!
Would love to see a collab with you and a child psychologist talking about some of the differences between speech delay and things like autism or attachment disorders in toddlers.
My 3 year old can only say mama ,milk what will i do
I think speech issues are the hardest thing for both kids and parents to go through. I never realized how difficult the English language is to speak until I had kids. It has caused so much frustration. It effects literally everything.
I always worry if kids will make fun of him or if the teacher won't like him if she can't understand him. I didn't discipline him correctly as a toddler bc he didn't speak and I didn't know if he understood the rules. So this led to behavior issues. I even regret his name bc he can't say it. He can write it though. He yells at us sometimes bc "we can't hear him" so I have to explain it's annunciation, not sound. We spent literally 20 min. trying to decipher "look at that dirt pile" while driving on the highway. 🤣 I try to make a joke out of it, but then worry he's looking at it like teasing. Just a lot of emotions with it. I know it's common and most kids outgrow it. It's just frustrating, especially when I see 1 year olds talking in complete sentences. My kid didn't talk until he was close to 3.
my daughter is 2.5 years old she says her ABC"s and can count 1-10 , she just babbles otherwise i was recommended that she get an eval.. so speech therapy and occupational therapy will be starting soon...I really feel that she knows a lot and is fully aware she just cant let it out yet and she will when she's ready Lord willing.
Hi Hermine, YES I would also recommend an evaluation. If you are also looking to help at home I have a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do. Check out my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
How is your daughter doing now?
My Son is turning 2 next month .He could read A to Z and 1 to 10 when he was 15 months old .He not talking , Sometimes he just says “No “ and “wait “.Most of the time he say ABC . When I called his name he don’t respond .Sometime he not interested what happened to other people.
(When he was until 12 months he is normal baby , he responded when we called his name , he interested in everything)
Is it speech delay or Autism ?
I really scared 😦
My son is the same
My son is exactly the same. How is your daughter now?
Yes, this is my son. He just turned 2 years old over the weekend, and really only says Mama.
If you can I would see out an evaluation for him, just so you know!

My kid also
How’s he doing now?
My son just turned 12 months and he still hasn’t said mama. ☹️🙄
@@tinyking11 me too ☹️
This is one of your best videos like this. The graphics and music are a nice touch and you spent more time giving out information than promoting your course. I am just one person, but I really liked the format of this video and noticed the increased production value!
Thanks for noticing!
The waving thing has been debunked. Toddlers and babies are instinctually meant to question who is around them other than their mother/father. They will not always want to interact and wave and be all bubbly with new people. It is extremely common to question new people.
well why some don't even wave at their parents and family members they see every day? and there are many happy children that wave at strangers all the time. it has NOT been debunked.
200-300 words is WAY more than most 2 year olds are saying. The standard is closer to 50 words. Please stop spreading misinformation.
My son says around 80 words and like 15 are 2-3 words combined his pediatrician sent him to get evaluated.
Now that I have a multitude of children I can say less than 200-300 words is underperformance
1 yrs old ~ 50 words
3 yrs old ~ 250 words
I’ve noticed that alot of parents are unwilling to recognize their children have speech delays. I’m a children health care worker and often I see children who are 2 years old and still baby talk and when are spoke to, they have no idea how to communicate. Or they are unable to form simple sentences such as “ I’m hungry”.or “ where are you”. Simple things like that. However, when I speak to parents about it, I’m often faced with “ She talks a lot, she knows a lot.”. I understand parents may not feel happy when told that their child needs help. However, because of their ego, the children end up not getting the kind of help they need.
It’s the best feeling when you come to these videos concerned and leave relieved. 14 months-16 words, right on track. Just frustrated none of them are “mama” lol
Glad you found my videos!
See my child isn’t talking yet he’s 21 months but he understands everything we say. And I mean he actually understands. We dont use our hands to talk to him and he can follow any demand we give him. Like “go throw that in the garbage please” etc
My son in law spoke to his therapist and she said same thing: her one child didn’t speak until 3.
I had 2 children who started speaking at 6 months, one at 3. But, he used pointing and hand gestures, and then at 3 spoke in full sentences. So, I wasn’t concerned about my grandson at first. Now, what his father does is not to acknowledge is that Max had many more words 6 months ago, now, almost none.
Speech regression is totally different than a late talker. Beware uninformed parents getting information with uninformed information.
Using sign language with young ones helps SO MUCH with communication, especially when they struggle with language. It is always good to get an evaluation from a trained professional. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much ☺️ you make me feel relief.
Happy to help!
I think a lot of people who come here are concerned their child could be on the Autism spectrum. So are comparing this with speech delay. That gap between 2, 3 and 4 is massive and you get explosive development bursts which seem to come out of nowhere. Just relax and give your child the time to develop in their own individual way, they will get there. Try not to compare to others. Obviously I’m not suggesting not to give help to those that need it. But Just save yourself the torment of making your own diagnosis from relentless google searches. Kids are stressful! Toddlers do most of the early ASD “red flags” in normal day life or play, so again don’t be too quick to panic as they will likely grow out of them. The ones they don’t it’s simply because we are all on the spectrum in some way or another.
Kindly don't misguide people living in denial is no way going to help a kid with ASD he or she needs early intervention to live stable life.. don't screw up their future just because you don't want to accept their condition... kindly don't mislead others keep your absurd theories to yourself and let the professionals handle the rest.
Thank you for watching and giving some insight as a parent!
@@siddharthbehura was that directed at me as I wasn’t sure? Personally I was just speaking as a parent who’s child was labelled by private nursery staff early on. I posted my comment in a moment of genuine relief as those red flags have all disappeared as I write this. Friends of ours had a similar experience. I don’t do denial, I am just not so quick to judge.
You are wonderful excellent information
I am a speech therapist from Egypt
Thank You So Much, you gave us hope. 💓
I'm so glad!
Hi, my son is 3 years and 2 months old, he doesn’t speak at all. He understands language, he knows words and wants to talk. If we see a blue car, I’ll ask him “what colour is this car?”
And he will make the B with his mouth but won’t say it, and this goes for many words. He maybe says we words at random here and there. Yesterday he said “done” after finishing his dinner , but it’s so random. He definitely understands language as I can tell him what to do without doing any hand motions and he know what I want.
He is obviously very smart, can count, learns very fast yet the speech is where he is delayed. I spend a lot of time with him in the car and I try to make him call things but then He gets mad at me. So I back off and give him a break. I don’t believe he is autistic and he doesn’t exhibit any traits of autism.
We want to send him to school next year but I am worried he will not have a good time due to that delay.
Should we get him into speech therapy or continue trying at home?
This video was amazing thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
At the age of 20 months, my little girl went to see a speech therapist, because she spoke her fantasy language and knew only 20 real words. Everything was fine with the speech therapist, but she still speaks her language. Of these 5 characters, she has 2. Now she is 2.5 years old, she tells some short sentences of 2-3 words, she knows colors, numbers in two languages, her name and how old she is, she repeats most of the words. But I notice that children her age talk more than she does. She normally lives in a bilingual environment. I need advice sometimes I think it’s ok and sometimes I worry.
Here is a video with more information on speech delay ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html. I hope this helps.
my son is 19 months and uses a lot of sign language to communicate wants, ( down, up, hungry, food, tired, ) etc. Some words are there....I know more should be, but he says a new word every week, everyone is at their pace.
Same! My daughter is 19 months too and mostly signs to communicate. I feel like she’ll speak when shes ready.
My son is 17.5 months and he says 6 or 7 words and the other is his baby language daadaa and other babling
He understands when i say close the door open the door or the fridge he knwos every furniture and some of body parts ...he points when he want something or when he show something to me and am very glad seeing this video
I have a one year old who has spent most of her life quarantined and minimal interaction with other children and I wonder if that is a contributor to her semi delayed speech? She says a few words (mama, dada, baba) but no other words. I’m a first time mom so honestly I’m not sure if that’s a normal amount or not.
Hi CMC, this is a rough time to be raising a little one with quarantine and far more social isolation. That could certainly be part of the problem. Do you read to her every day? Talk to her throughout the day?
Also, I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you so much for responding! I do read to her every night before bed, but she’s so tired and fussy by then that I think maybe during the day might be better to do? I talk to her constantly but the bigger words just aren’t coming along. I will say, she is very verbal and constantly babbling to herself so maybe she is saying words and I just can’t make them out.
Of course! I get that, when kids are tired engagement is really hard. But YES read to her during the day then, or check out some of great videos with fun interactive ideas that can help you work with her. If you're feeling really inspired (or when you're ready) I also have an online course that teaches parents how to teach their kiddos how to talk. school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Hey! I wanted to know if you've seen any improvement in speech. I have a 17 month old who isn't talking (mama, dada, nana and no is the limit). Is your baby talking now? If so what did you do?
I wouldn’t worry the baby is only one years old that is not a concern my baby is doing the same thing I have 3 children they all talked late but they walk early and did everything else two oldest are honor students with absolutely no speech delays try not to compare your child to others or fit them into a timeframe read the other comments each child is different it’s just like a doctor telling us we all have to be a certain weight yes that’s ideal but we are all unique and different I wouldn’t be concerned until the child is like two 1/2 3 years of age
The way our pediatrician mentioned to us is that yes in many cases the baby or toddler will catch up on their own BUT the thought is the things that seem behind some to do speech, physical therapy or both so that when you get to pre-k the child worse case is even to ahead of the curve instead of counting on catching up naturally and being behind the curve. Then everything can amplify in a negative and bigger way when they go to pre-k.
Thanks for the perspective.
My son is literally almost 3 and will not communicate! He says words like, uh-oh, oh no, sit down, up, apple, thank you, goodnight, fish, cat, candies, cookies. He knows his colors and can count to 20, but doesn't seem capable of having conversation! I read to him and all those things but nothing. He throws a fit and grunts when he sees me and his mom talking to one another or other people. But when we try and talk to him he just stares or looks around. He understands most directions like, "Close the door" "Come here" and "Turn the light on/off." I don't wanna blame the pandemic, but me and his mom were all he's had any socialization with during his first 2 years of life. He's learned so much, but communication is where we struggle. The fact that I'm on youtube for this speaks for its self😭😭😭 Its heartbreaking as a father honestly.
I am so sorry you are so upset about this! I would speak with his pediatrician about your concerns. Here is another video on speech delay, ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps!
Love the second sign
So I made a mistake by watching this video and thinking "how come my kid is 18 months and not fluent in English already?". Mamas if you are watching it please don't, talk to your pediatrician instead. I was so worried that my kid says only about 10 words at 18 months then I go to my pediatrician with my crazy thoughts and he shows me the chart where it says 2-3 words at 18 months in addition to mama, dada!
Don't watch RUclips videos about your child development Iike I did but talk to a real doctor instead!
Thanks for the comment!
Yep...2-300 words at 2 yrs? Sounds a bit skewed to me.
My son is almost 2 and he used to say about 5 words and then quit altogether. We have a speech therapist but he really isn’t saying much yet. His receptive language is awesome though. We are hoping he’s just a little behind. He says “ba” for everything
Speak with his pediatrician if you are concerned, it is great he is doing well with receptive language! Feel free to sign up for my free guide book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
same ba for everything other than mama papa ...and 2 or 3 words...
My son is 16 months old, and not talking like at all. He’s said like mama or dada a few times. He tries to say our dogs name. He doesn’t like to play with other kids. He almost seems terrified of other kids. He plays by himself a lot. I’ve tried showing him shapes and bought him educational toys to help with talking and doing other things. I’ve talked to his doctor about these signs . He didn’t seem too concerned. He said if he’s 2 years old and still “grunting” to communicate; he’d be a little bit concerned. In the mean time, I really don’t know how to help my son. I had him at 19 and just recently turned 21.
Hi! I understand your concern and I'm glad you found my channel. I have ton's of free videos on here but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide, then sign up for my online course! school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
I'm waiting to get my son evaluated. He's 15 months and hasn't said his first word. He didn't even babble "mamama" and "bababa" until after his first birthday, and still no other consonants. Not to mention no pointing or waving or clapping.
My son had evaluation today. He is almost 24 months. He says about 10 words and few sentences. The thing I was worried about was autism. But he doesn't have problem with finger pointing, he mostly responds to his name, doesn't have repetitive behaviour, has great eye contact. So they eveluated that his motor skills are good, non verbal comunication also good, but understanding of the language is at abput 16 months and language at about 1 years (baby language). They said that he needs speach therepy because he probably want talk on his own mostly because he tends to give up easely if something is to hard to lear and has short atantion spann.
My granddaughter is 27 months. She doesnt even put two words together. Her 2 older sisters were talking good at that age. Their mom was talking at that age as well. But it good just be speech delay. My daughter is afraid she has autism. The doctor just wants her to see a speech therapist.
My son has all of this ...some people keeps telling me go get him check cuz I know he might have some issue ....he was such a good baby until he was 1 ....than he started to watch TV and smartphone and he started to close himself up . We went to the doctor he did alla the test and everything was ok .No screen time and no smartphone ....He started to improve but in this day he still is not talking ...he says Ah for everything .. points towards everything he wants or wants to show me . And the dog says wof wof .....I am about to start speech therapy and hopefully it will help
My son is 3 1/2 and exhibits 4/5 signs. I’m concerned and have been seeking speech therapy but everyone has costs we just can’t afford right now. He was our first child and we as first time parents could benefit from some direction
You can have him evaluated and they will do the speech therapy for free (if he qualifies) as early intervention. Then he will receive speech therapy. If he's in school like preschool or daycare you can ask to have him evaluated. Otherwise your pediatrician can send you to a speech therapist to be evaluated. Either case they drag their feet so you do have to sorta push the issue.
I tried to talk to my son’s doctor about him not speaking hardly at all he can say dada and bye. He is 19 months old. The doctor literally told me that I was letting him point and grunt rather than trying to get him to communicate without even doing an assessment.
These videos are helpful thanks for sharing. I have hope for our babies. My son is 2 1/2 he doesn’t say much but he understands what I’m saying to him. He can say mama daddy Tay nana Jesus. If you’re wondering I pray and go to church. So that’s why he says Jesus.
2 year old daughter
1, She only speaks Mom, Dada and her own language
2, I am not aware of this but I will try. She follows direct which I think was great but I am not aware on the hand gestures which is I am going to try.
3, I contact was the only think we are aware of and she is good at it. She plays whenever she saw other kids but this pandemic really is so hard for us. She is so clingy to me and my 2 aunts.
4. She is just say Mom, Dada and others are just bubbling or her own language. 😭
5. Well I didn't notice it yet. Yes she has trantrums but I will observed on this.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching. Here is another video on speech delay ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps
Thankyou sooooo much for this!!!
You're so welcome!
So the kid all around the world is also using " Ah! Aaaa! As the main first word for everything 😆😆😆
My child is like that now
That is great to hear!
My son just turned 4 he’s still behind a bit but talks and communicates great. My biggest pet peeve when we were in the early years was people telling just read books to him as though that was it. I just ignored it they meant well
That is great he communicates well. I am sure they meant well!
My son is 3 years old and it’s actually how you describe him like you met him. I wish I could come to I’m all the way in London

Also i noticed that she learns anything fast n keeps repeating them whole day or for some days n then she looses interests in those words n doesn’t want to utter them again after few days. She has learnt 1-10 numbers n some alphabet but all in English language n all rhymes she has learnt in english. Surprisingly hindi is our mother tongue n we speak all the tym at our home in hindi n she doesn’t pick a word of this language
This is great to hear she is repeating words
My daughter is 20 months old and is “talking” (over 100 words) but she only says part of a word.For example for dog she says da, cat is ca, happy is hap. She does this for all words she is learning and I try to get her to repeat the word the proper way. Her pediatrician wants to wait until 2 for a referral to speech therapy.
That is great she is definitely trying, here is a video on some DIY speech therapy you can try if you are concerned ruclips.net/video/6tbWU2shHvw/видео.html I hope this helps.
This is so relatable. Soon as you said babbling my son says 3 main words, which are Dora (childminder is Laura and can't say it yet), dada and ugh (grunt). He's 18 months, and I'm in the UK and tried my health visitor for almost a year with no luck, my childminder is also helping with the referral and soon as he hit 18 months they were able to escalate it on my behalf x
I am glad this helps you! Feel free to check out my free guidebook here, walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
Hi there I’m also in the uk and was wondering what one needs to do to get a referral… may daughter will be 2 in feb do I just wait till that health review we somehow didn’t have an 18month one … yikessss
Thank You for this. My son just turned 3, and has lots of words but cannot put them together in a sentence or form any actual conversation. We are waiting for a speech pathology assesment, but in Nova Scotia Canada, the wait is 6months plus :-(
Katie Rideout same kind of situation in Liverpool same age too. Use some sentence but not too many :(
@@nataliatalamali1355 my guy doesn't even say sentences unless he's echoing. He uses them in the right context though so I'm not sure what that means.
My son is the same
Katie Rideout my son he put lot of things together but not in right way like : me nursery papa. Or « a me slide « for example if he want to go to a slide. I’m waiting for speech therapy as well because he love to sing or talk 24/7 but nothing proper yet
@@nataliatalamali1355 my son won't use "I" or "me" he will just present you with something "open" or sometimes "open please" or "night night mommy!" And run to his bed when he's tired. 2 months later, 8months total this far waiting for speech therapy and still no call yet.
Thank u so much for this informative video, i can understand now that my child is having problem talking n i need help. My child is 22 months n bable a lot lot like whole day, she says some words to be precise 11 words only in our language which is hindi but cannot communicate her needs. Surprisingly She has learnt english language rhymes (complete sentences till the end) n keeps repeating them whole day like twinkle twinkle, jony jony,etc but she don’t talk n is highly frustrated n furious all day every day, hitting me n family in face is a general ordeal of hers. And she doesn’t like to make eye contact or interact wth anyone except objects

Thanks a ton once again, will stay connected n will back for help..Lots of love all the way from India..🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕
Thank you, this video was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I know a child who literally babbles, they are almost 4. Mom is convinced it’s because they are learning two languages and they are getting confused. We keep telling her that we (and myself directly) work with many children who are learning two languages at once, and they can communicate perfectly fine with words not just sounds. Also seeing that I am not a fluent Spanish speaker yet, mom is convinced I just don’t understand even though another child came up to me, spoke to me in Spanish, While the mom was standing there, and I answered the child in English and there was NO CONFUSION between me and the other child. I feel bad for that child not getting the help the need.
I am sorry you are feeling bad for this child that can be tough, Here is a video I have on bilingualism hopefully it helps! ruclips.net/video/lTx4vxY48PI/видео.html
200-300 words at 2 years old seems like a lot? My nephew is 26 months and he says maybe 6-7 words.
It can seem like a lot, if you are worried definitely talk with your child's pediatrician.
I thought so too ... Babies different
That's my grandson at 3yrs
Sadly I think we are too quick to put labels on children, they all develop at their own pace
God...U explain so well..My questions wr finally answered here... Thanks.
You are welcome!
I feel like we wont know the impact of lockdowns on these children for a long time. My son was born dec 26 right before we went into lockdown and he has suffered. Not only because we couldn’t leave the house, but also because I was swamped helping my kindergartner with virtual school. At my sons 18 month appointment I am going to ask for 0/3 I feel like a failure 😞
The lockdown has definitely been a huge challenge. Take heart and keep up the good work mama.
Exactly Same here with me .
Agreed 100%… at my daughter’s nursery they did mention they have seen similarities across the kids due to the limited interaction they had at the early stages during lockdown … no baby classes, not family interaction etc.
You’re not alone! Stay strong we are in it with you!
Our three year old granddaughter does not have any level of conversational speech and her parents are too busy glued to their cellphones to recognize that their is an issue.
They need to put down the phone and pay attention to her development.
It’s frustrating...
🤷🏻♀️
My son turned two in December, and he uses some words but not nearly as much as he should. When i get his attention, he seems to pick the things up but once his attention is gone, it's hard to get him back to wanting to learn. Do you have any tips to make things more entertaining for him to keep his attention?
Hi! That can be tough! Take a look at some of my videos on activities.
Curious where you get your numbers. My daughter is 22 months old, and the doctors say 20 words.
This video has me feeling really concerned. My son doesn’t even say mama. He is 16 months and he says “yes, this, dada, and no”
I am so sorry you are feeling concerned, it is great he does use some words. If you are concerned definitely speak with his pediatrician. Feel free to sign up for my free guidebook walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
I have a daughter who just turned 3 in nov she can talk, but does not necessarily talk to us or make conversation with us she will say she needs to go to the potty or simple things like drink or other things she may want. She will also repeat things that you say if she feels like it, but you are not really able to ask her what she is doing or things along those lines she just won’t answer and almost acts like she doesn’t hear you (we have had her hearing checked and it is fine). she is also not very sociable some days she is more Interactive than others. She usually will not say hi or bye to people and does not make a lot of eye contact although some days she is better with this than other days, but a lot of times she will not even acknowledge other adults. She is very smart like she knows her ABCs and can also recognize them she can also count to ten and sometimes higher, very good at puzzles and other things, but it seems like she is having issues in some ways with social skills and in ways communication. I stay at home with her and she is not around children a lot of the time. She recently in the last couple months started saying mommy and daddy and although she knows her name and will repeat it she will not tell me it if I ask her. She also seems to have problems with directions a lot of time. Some family members think she may have some kind of a learning disability or even autism. I am very hesitant on accepting this, but wonder what you may think or what kind of therapy may be needed.
Hi Celena, have you had an evaluation done? I cannot say for sure anything without evaluating her myself but I highly recommend she be evaluated! While you're waiting for an appointment I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things and if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
A friend’s 2 1/2 yr old only says ‘ehhhhhh’ while pointing. It is very annoying to me when I am with her. I have not heard her say anything. She also gets very upset if she is around other kids she does not know…to the point of having to leave the event.
Thank you
I have my 2 year old in early intervention because his twin is using complete sentences such as SHUT THE DOOR! NO, Mine and Thank you! (He actually says Danku) and he is just babbling like Donnie from the Wild Thornberries. He is also pulling all his hair out and doesn't always respond when I call his name. 😞
My son doesn’t listen to me
🙃 I try and he runs away, am I doing something wrong... he cries to everything 🤦🏽♀️
Hard to say! Have you had an evaluation done?
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy on the waiting list for speaking therapy, hopefully they let me know what’s going on x
That’s literally my son.. he doesn’t have any interest in what I have to say or if he sees new people.. he actually doesn’t like new kids he would literally cry and when our visitors will leave he would be so happy.. he doesn’t wave or say hi and definitely doesn’t make the sounds it. He is 15 months now and I don’t know it makes me really upset. Oh and on top of that he doesn’t eat on his own and everything should be smashed like purée. He doesn’t know how to swallow anything.
What if your child only shows signs from number 1? I can ask him for some from the other room and he gets what I ask.
I seem to fit the criteria of this problem as a 15 year old
Mine turns 3 yrs and he’s not talking yet and it’s so frustrating and it frustrates him as much as it does me but hopefully he will
I am so sorry you both are feeling frustrated this definitely can be hard, reach out to his pediatrician with you concerns.
My daughter will be 3 in July of 2021. She Babbles a lot. I usually know what she wants 95 percent of the time but she does get mad and frustrated when I don’t know what she wants. She actually started out with words then stopped using them. She would say puppy and a few other ones but has stopped like she is not interested anymore. Her ears are great and we have been seeing an SLP but I feel like it’s really not helping. It’s only been like a month and a half but still.
Hi Eagles, are you working with her at home as well? You would be amazed the difference when everyone in the child's world uses similar strategies working with them!
If you want some more step by step strategies for working at home check out my course "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
What does it mean when my 17 month old will say a new word a couple times in one day and then you never hear them use it again?
Here is a video on speech and language development ruclips.net/video/vj3iR5nC7Ow/видео.html I hope this helps! If you are concerned talk with your child's pediatrician
My child is 21 months old now. She is not communicating with us. She doesn't try to tell or ask for anything. When she see something like food, water, snacks she shows her interest making some excited actions. Thats all.
Has not started even call mom or dad. What shall I do to improve her ability to communicate?
Reach out to your child's pediatrician if you are concerned. Here is another video on speech delay ruclips.net/video/DlSQd-4qmi8/видео.html I hope this helps.
Thank you for this video. My daughter just turned two. She can sing multiple songs and even quote movies perfectly, however when it comes down to communicating she isn’t good verbally. My husband and I are both mommy and she will say simple things like up please, hi, bye, bobo (our dog), Oo yummy, and some other things but isn’t good telling us what she wants. She will grab me by the hand take me to the toy or area she wants to play with and point at the object she wants me to play with her with but doesn’t verbally say what she wants. I called my pediatrician today and they are going to send a request to jhach to get evaluated. They won’t see he till may (I put her on the cancellation list too. Hopefully by then she will say a lot more. Crossing my fingers she is a late talker. She is developing in other areas more than speech, like math, building, art, has advanced motor skills, and excels in crafts cooking and more. I’m not concerned her having autism she is just delayed in verbally communicating.
That is great she is singing a lot of songs I am sure that is so fun! I am sorry you are concerned it is great to take those concerns to the pediatrician just to get evaluated. Feel free to sign up for my free e-book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/ I hope this helps!
My daughter does the same with taking our hands to what she wants and points at it and says please… I will then point at the item and say what it is for future reference or help her repeat it but she doesn’t at the moment.
How is your child doing now
I’m so stressed my 3 year old is also struggling
My nearly 16 month old is showing all the 5 signs. But I have a question is speech delay n autism are two different things.
P.S. he has a good eye contact though
Hi Harnoor, to know for sure you would need to get an evaluation. They are not the same, although sometimes they coexist.
Thank you so much!! My son just turned 2 in March, he is showing all the signs for language delay. I called to make an appointment for a speech therapy evaluation. However, with this whole coronavirus pandemic; we have to wait a bit longer. I have been working with him at home. He has improved a lot. I did want to ask, he does say more of a eeeeee sound than a ahhh sound you mentioned in this video; is that common?
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover best toddler parenting books try Loctavan Teaching Toddler Strategy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
is your son talking now?? my son does the same aaa ahhh sounds
Hi Kayla, Thank you for these informational videos. As an adult on the autism spectrum my difficulty among other things is communicating with others socially often invisible in a crowded room, ashamed to have this problem. When people ask me certain questions it takes me time to respond. Often they get upset at me for not answering right away, I have to think about the question and process it and still struggle with stuttering to make a clear answer, Anyway, do you work with adults too or is it only kids, or how do you know if a speech therapist is a right fit as an adult? Thanks. And i am hoping to get help soon through the Regional Center here in Central Cali. Ryan.
My son is 17 months and doesn't speak a word. He does not respond when his name is called. He does not focus when we talk to him. Can't understand anything. Really worry about him !!
I am so sorry to hear you are worried, I would definitely speak with his pediatrician about your concerns. Here is another video with some more information, ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps.
I used her stance -- you can't just say however "go get 'that" for me' unrealistic. If you hold your hands down and say go get me your cup, or ball. My son is able to do this, parents try it that way but use a word.
YES, naming items is SO important.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
How do u think is there a difference in speech development for twins?
Very helpful! Thank you.
Agreed! Very helpful!!!
So glad!
My son is 2 and has only learned about 4 words such as moma Dada and nite nite and baby. However he recently stopped using these words all together. Randomly he may say momma but for the last month or 2 he doesn't really talk at all just babling. He also has a delay in fine motor skills and he doesn't self feed.
Check out this video for more information on speech delay, ruclips.net/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/видео.html I hope this helps.
My boy turned 3 today.
He knows many songs he can account up to 25 and backwards. He watches cartoons and tells what’s tiger fixing to say before tiger says. He can get on my phone pull up the RUclips and look for his fave cartoon he knows where are everything we hide from him mostly candy and cookies. He can point and say fruits .
Now Odd things he does.
He will never turn when you call his name ( Alexander)
He is VERY territorial nobody can touch his mom including me ( dad)
he loves old cars and he loves to run around the car for hours at a time .
He does not like to see a lighter laying on the table it must stand upright.
And over all what makes me worry too much is his speaking delay.
He will not put words together if he wants you to do something for him.
Please don’t make no jokes out of these I’m a parent who’s seeking real help .
Thanks 🙏
Hi Koshikner, it would be a good idea to seek an evaluation. You shared a lot of really important information a professional could use to help point you in the right direction. It is too hard to say through text online!
I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Not worrying you, but he seems autistic in some sense. Which isn’t necessarily bad these days, just keep showing you love him and things will improve.
I agree with @blood. This sounds more like autism. I know we’re afraid of that word but in today’s world it’s not the worst as there are early interventions that could be put in place to help. Best wishes to you and your son.
My son is really social, loves people and can understand some of what we are saying to him, hes still quite young and 14 months old but not doing more than saying letter like A Ber and his nickname which is D he goes Deeeeee he will also mumble mum mum mum but he doesnt know thats me i dont think, apart from that no more words and he can sometimes get frustrated with not us but himself when he cant show us what he means :( waiting for the health visitors to call me back to maybe refer me to the speech therapist so i can see if he is behind or just going to be a late talker!
Thank you for watching, it can definitely be frustrating waiting I hope my channel helps!
My son is 2 years and 2 months. He does not talk at all, say words that is. He understands when we ask him, for a kiss, when we say thank you, and he hands us items, when we say shoes, he knows that means we're leaving or going outside. He babbles and he grunts, a lot. We're struggling because he does not know how to tell us what's wrong, so he will cry and gets frustrated. We don't know what to do. I want t help him, and even if I do repetition he doesn't seem to repeat what I say.
Hi! Ican tell you are worried. I'm sorry to hear he isn't talking yet. I have tons of free advice here on youtube but if you are looking to take serious action, look into my online course school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
My 16 month old doesn't say any words, he used to say "mama" a bit not towards me just as a sound but now he doesn't even do that. I'm waiting for an appointment with a speech therapist but with everything going on I have no idea when that will be.
What happened did your baby talk now? My baby is 18 months old and she has the same issue I am worried so much. Earlier she used to say babababa mamamama and 'bye' now for a month she is not saying any thing just nenenene for every thing. I don't understand probably she is watching baby rhymes in English and we used to talk in a different languages. Probably she is not able to understand the language.😔
Mine too, says a baba bab sound and sometimes wave bye
Thank you for watching. It has been hard on so many families. Hopefully, you can get the help you need soon. For now, I hope my channel helps; also, feel free to check out my blog. Here is a post that may help you walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/5-ways-language-at-home/
Would it still be considered a speech delay if my child is really good at understanding but doesn’t talk much? Everyone believes my child is “advanced” or whatever at understanding but he doesn’t say as many things. He is 19 months and I can tell him “go get me a diaper” and he will go into another room, find the diapers, find the wipes and bring them back to me and just every day things like that like throwing things away, cleaning up toys, I say “bath time” he goes upstairs to the bath, I say “time to brush our teeth” and he will run to the bathroom, grab his stool and put it in front of the sink and grab his tooth brush. “Time to read a book” he goes into another room and grabs the book. Idk there is just so many things he understands without gesturing (and more with gesturing obviously) but he probably says like 10 words.
Hi! These are all good skills but I'd say if you are worried, definitely get an evaluation.
Point being. All parents must set their phones , work , house work , whatever it is Aside and make time to TALK, SING, and Play with your child showing it toys and books , even when they are crying or upset show and respond to your baby as if you know exactly whats wrong so they feel understood.
My baby is only Two months old! And although she can not speak words she responds to you with all her vowels and consonants, she even CHiMES in When other people are having a conversation, and when she is crying die to sleepiness i will talk to her asking"whats wrong? , oh your sleepy?, momma knows , " & she will stop crying and talk back !! Its just a matter of realky taking time talking to them
Thank you for watching and giving input from a parent's perspective.
My son definitely gets frustrated trying to communicate with me, and I think he only understands my gestures, but not what I’m saying. He says words and will string 2-4 together to form “sentences” on his own and can repeat my words and short phrases, but has trouble expressing what he wants and mostly babbles. He just turned 2 five days ago. His pediatrician recommended speech therapy yesterday at his 2 year visit.
It turns out he does understand me, he just doesn’t listen lol
Hi Brittany, So the pediatrician is suggesting you seek an evaluation? I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you for replying. Yes, though she couldn’t get a good read on his vocabulary because almost the entire appointment was a temper tantrum because he was tired, but it was a temper tantrum with almost no words. I’ll watch some more of your videos, and I think I may also get the course. Anything to help him progress.
My 3.5 year old daughter wont talk...she is repeating every word and peoms...she ask for food, water, ipad, phone etc.. she knows alphabets, numbers and shapes...but she doesn't talk properly
If you are concerned speak with her pediatrician. Here is another video that may help ruclips.net/video/DlSQd-4qmi8/видео.html
My son has all of these and he is 5.
I thought it was autism but the psychologist said it wasn't.
We have been to a speech therapist and she say she can't help him cause she thinks is something else than just speech delay.
So I don't get any help from anyone and I'm so stressed about him starting school.
I live in Sweden and we don't have private speech therapists or home schooling program :(
Did your son talked yet
@stephabie could you please share with us if your child started talking it will help a lot of us. Thank you so much
my daughter she can speak the word one by one but not the full sentence I don't know what to do...
If you are concerned definitely talk with your daughters pediatrician.
What could be the cause for the toddler to delay to speak?
Could it be genes or the environment the child is in or what?
My 5 year old daughter is not speaking and still in nappies. She use ah and gesture. Am so frustrated please help.
