I have a concern x
My son will be 2 this month x and he hardly talks x my twins were talking quite well that this age x he tends to be in his own world x when i call him I know he hears me but a lot of the time doesn't answer or react x
He says a few words but not a lot x mostly just gibberish x anyone have/had similar issues x or have any advice? x
@sara-lou86, realising ur child is intentionally ignoring u lol 😂 x bless x yeah i feel that might be the case x but I'll still bring it up on his next check up x thanks x
When Morgan had a check up I bought up that he often didn't react/ listen when I called him. Wondered if/when they checked children's hearing again. They called him, whispered. He turned straight away lol. So I realised he was just ignoring me or to busy in what he was doing.
@sara-lou86, thanks x I'll keep that in mind x i think my son might have selective hearing too x but did u just come to that or did a specialist/doctor tell u? x
My mum had 3 girls before my little brother. He was slow in everything compared to us, but especially speech. U can mention it at next developmental check and they'll offer speech therapy if they're concerned. But more often than not it's not worth it. Boys are just a little slow at communicating
We all do it but try not to compare one child to another. Often boys talk later than girls. Morgan was only saying words and it wasn't until after 2yrs he started to talk a bit more. He had selective hearing. Could hear me when he wanted to and ignored me when he wanted to! If you are still concerned you can mention it at his 2yr check and they'll advice on the next path to take. But for now I think with encouragement and time he'll be talking and you won't be able to stop him lol.
Yes she dose but i talk to the hv them said because she got two languages she will talk soon i was worry but now i just say she be soon
@1luckymama, I got him checked when he was around 1-ish x everything was fine x they said he will eventually pick up on words in his own time x and that after the age of 3-4 is a more worrying age if he still isn't talking x but i feel that is too long to leave it x
@jessr19895x, yeah i do the same hun x been doing it for a while x he used to say mum x but he's stopped saying it 😢x he calls everyone daddy lol x I taught him to call his youngest sister 'baba' (short for baby) x now he calls his older sisters that too lol x
Yeh that's what their there for. You'll get a questionnaire for his 2yr check and you tick of what he can do, working in etc. And they'll add up and talk to you about any concerns.
