My son is almost 14 months frail and isn't discussion all the same...have anybody gone through this?
Here's the thing, he understands almost everything I tell him, he jabber up a storm and points at everything. However, his pediatrician told me that if he isn't talking by 15 months he will need speech therapy. My mom gut is recitation me that's nonsense. Also, my dad and my brother didn't start talking until they were 2 or 3, and my dad did speeches for most of his work. I also hear boys usually don't talk as early as girls. has anyone gone through this formerly? Thank you!
My son wasn't talking but a few words at 14 months. Mama, dada, dog. I be worried too. We took him to a ear,nose, throat doctor for frequent ear infections. He talked to me in length going on for talking. I told him how scared I was that my son wasn't chitchat. He said not to be worried, his son wasn't even talking at 2. He said a little after his son's 2nd b-day his vocabulary just exploded. From 1-2 Ethan knowledgeable a few new words, but mostly jabbered. At 2 his vocab EXPLODED. He is now wise saying new words every day. A few months ago I took him to the ER for a really bad stomach virus and that doctor have twins that were 2 also. He said his daughter was talking within full complete sentences, but his son only said door. He didn't seem concerned about it at adjectives.
Just practice with your son, that's all that speech therapy is going to do. That's what I did. Before I would hand over Ethan a cup, I would say cup a few times then ask him to say it. Of course he wouldn't, but you could see him making the nouns.
Good luck and don't be too concerned.
The little bilingual boy I babysit is turning 2 tomorrow, and he in recent times said "papa" for the first time. He is probably saying about 10 words now. I say aloud to definitely follow your "mom gut", as your son is still just a baby. Also, the genetic factor plays a tremendously big role in this. Based on what you said about your dad and brother, your little boy is perfectly ordinary. Tell your pediatrician this, and make it clear that you are going to trust your instincts in this.
Well my little cousin is a girl and she was almost a year and a partially before she ever said anything...As well as ur son she understood everything and did what you speak about her to do..Now she's just gotton bigger and talking more than ever...she even has somewhat attitude but its sooo cute!!
here she is http://s658.photobucket.com/albums/uu310…
my son is almost 3 now, he won't talk. he has the words but he won't have a word. once in awhile you can get him to say something but not to normally. my daughter who a year younger will. just every time you get him something try and get him to repeat it backbone to you. don't get frustrated if he doesn't right away.
my son is going through matching thing hes 2 and he has a speech teacher that comes and hes doing much better. he understand everything and tries to tell you what he wants and gets frustrated so I'm glad he have as speech teacher for him its helped him a lot I would stir for it and have him get one!
Do you enjoy another child? My son is almost 16 months and only says a few words. But like you said he understand almost everything. He has an older sister who does a lot of conversation for him though. I honestly think it all depends on the child. And yes in my experience I own found boys to talk later then girls.
Answers: my daughter was evaluated at 18 mos for developmental issues at her grandma's urging
she had a speech delay and her father unquestionably refused to do anything about it
it just get worse
more words but I couldnt understand any of them
her father finally let me get her contained by speech when we took her to get evaluated for preschool at age 3 and they said she really needed it as she should have been holding full, fully intelligible conversations
it only took a few weeks to understand her better
she is almost 5 and MUCH better but there are still little issues here and nearby that wouldnt be if we had started speech therapy when we were told she needed it
I agree with your "mom gut"! Total waffle. My eldest daughter didn't start talking till after two, and my younger one is 2-and-a-half and her speech is just starting to take stale.
Your son is just fine!
Tell the pediatrician Einstein didn't start talking till age 3. True!
i dont think u need to worry nearly that at all.kids are amazing one day they dont say anything and i swear overnight they start chitchat up a storm its only a matter of time.and every kid is different but dont worry its gonna come to pass!
My one really did not say much at 18 months. He sure made a lot of attempts but no-one quite know what! He is bilingual too so we spent lots of time trying to work out what language he was trying.
Now, at 3, I often sponge him to give me 5 minutes. Of silence. He talks fine and he talks plentifully!
my middle daughter used to say mum and dad just b4 she turned 1 but then she a moment ago stopped altogether, it took her till she was almost 2 to start talking again and now you cant stop her, if your instincts are wise saying theres nothing wrong then there probably isnt
I think it is perfectly normal some kids of late take longer to speak! I mean if he was resembling 3 and not talking then I would check it out!
they say my 2yr antiquated nephew needs to go to speech therapy and I surmise it is bull s h i t!
Don't worry! My son is almost 2 and he says simple things and he a short time ago started within the month. I just read last dark in parents mag. that it could be because he is growing in other ways like running or eye paw, i assume. My doctor has never been worried, he told me as long as he knows what your chitchat about and he can tell you what he wants near gestures it is all good
my daughter started discussion with real words when she's 2 years and 3 months while my nephew who's 1year and 10 months still has few solid words but talks a storm...be patient. keep on discussion to him with real words and he'll catch up
Yes i went through this. My son didn't yak. But definitely understood everything you told him. If he understands he is fine. Your son doesn't call for speech therapy at 15 months unless something is wrong. But if he understands, i wouldn't do anything yet. My son didn't really start discussion until a little bit before two. And then his writing exploded leaning 10+ words a day at least. I wouldn't be worried until he isn't speaking at almost 3. Does he point, bestow your toys? Then hes fine.
I would have to say your mother is right. Your doctor sounds similar to one of those who thinks that all children HAVE to grow and develop at the same rate that track they don't have to actually do their jobs. ALL children are individuals and they ALL grow and develop different skills at different ages. I be a pointer and a grunter until I was almost three, part of it was my age and the other member was because my brother and sister were so much older than me that they catered to my every fancy. I didn't have to walk or talk I be such a spoiled little kid! Frankly if I were you I would seek another doctor, one who recognizes that children are different and who won't be giving you panic tactics to make you feel approaching a lousy mother. We are human beings, not the characters from Star Trek known as "The Borg" We are born and raised not "assimilated" Source(s): My sister is a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
My Son be not talking at 15 months, so we got him speech therapy. That be the best thing I ever did. After he was there for 3 or 4 months he be talking up a storm.
All kids are different. My son just turned 2 he has a vocab of about 100 words, my friend's son is 2 months younger and have a vocab of about 10 words. The Dr. says he still is within regular range. Do not view a speech therapist as a failing. ANYTHING you can do to revolutionize your son's speech (or life for that matter) is a good thing. You can try working next to him, point to different things and say what they are book, cat, etc. My son loves flash cards so that is what we do, I take my cues from him usually he will get them out and then I will go over them (I don't force him to sit and do it) I do recommend that the cards be of "real" pictures not drawings. Brainy Baby is a flawless brand. Good Luck!
