I have a three year old son who will be four in February. I have tried helping his speech via flashcards and other fun little games. He doesn't talk much, but rather repeats whatever is said to him or around him. He has a younger brother, who is 1 1/2--I wonder if this could be the reason his development has slowed down. Also, he did not start walking until he was 1 1/2, took spells as an infant in talking but then stopped talking, and now will not use the toilet unless you assure him to poo poo and pee pee in the toilet. What are some things that would help in his development? I've heard little boys are sometimes slower so I haven't brought this up to the pediatrician yet--should I? What are some possibilities as to why he's at a difference pace? Could it be us moving to GA when he was used to his surroundings at 18 months of age? I find it hard to believe he's simply slow because he spells out "thank you", can count to 20, and other things. Anyone with similar experiences?
