I have a 18 month old who just points and don't say anything, what should I do? Should he be talking more?


He says mama and dada and eat

Answers:
DON'T WORRY UNTIL HE IS 2 YEARS OLD, ALL CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT. AT 24 MONTHS OR 2 YEARS OLD THEY SHOULD BE PUTTING 2 WORD UTTERANCES TOGETHER. CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR WITH YOUR CONCERN AT HIS 2 YR OLD CHECK UP AND HE SOULD BE ABLE TO DIRECT YOU TO HAVE YOUR SON TESTED BY A SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST. I HAVE 3 SONS, 15, 11, AND 3. THEY ALL HAVE OR HAD SPEECH SERVICES.
All children come along differently. My daughter didn't talk until she was two. She used to say mama dada and bubu but then she quit. And didn't say anything. Of course just like you i wondered if there was something wrong. And i took her to the dr, then ear specialist, and hearing screenings, and speech therapists and all that.

But she was fine. Nothing was wrong with her. She started talking and now she won't shut up.
relax will ya...the kid isonly 18 months, he's not going to be reciting SHakespere is he?
