my son is not started talking yet, he is 29 months matter of worry?

Question

he just pronounce wat we teach, but he is not talking on his own. is this a matter of worry? upto wat age we can wait? we are continuesly talking with him, still no improvement. but whenever we ask him to say someting he pronounce the same.

Answer 1

It could be he is just developing a little later! My sister growing up took about the same time 28 or 29 months before she really started talking. She was ALWAYS very quiet...

However, another relative also experienced their child NOT talking, even after several years, but this child had HEARING PROBLEMS. She was partially deaf! So, please take your child to a doctor (hopefully a hearing doctor) and have them checked out. Or, perhaps a SPEECH PATHOLOGIST. Speech Pathologists work with children and any speech impediments!
God Bless and ALL THE BEST to You and YOUR CHILD!

Answer 2

Some children start talking early and they continue to improve their pronounce(like my son Benjamin,age 2).Other children don't talk and then suddenly after the age of 2 they start talking perfectly and really much(like Benjamin's twin-sister Sandra).So I'd say every child is different.You may try this - when you put on his clothes on him,ask him "Which t-shirt do you prefer,the red one or the blue one?"(wait to hear the answer).Play with the parts of the body.Ask him "What is that?"(pointing his arm or toe).At dinner ask him "Do you prefer milk or orange juice?"(then give him the one he picked).Ask him about colors(if he had learnt them).You may also learn together a song and sing together.It's important not to ask questions which only need "Yes" or "No".And don't talk TO him,talk WITH him.It's not very easy to learn how to talk by listening a radio!Good luck!:)

I say read to him every day,as much as possible and talk to his pediatrician about the first signs of autism and have his hearing tested.
The following red flags may indicate a child is at risk for atypical development, and is in need of an immediate evaluation.

In clinical terms, there are a few “absolute indicators,” often referred to as “red flags,” that indicate that a child should be evaluated. For a parent, these are the “red flags” that your child should be screened to ensure that he/she is on the right developmental path.

Social/Communication Red Flags:

If your baby shows any of these signs, please ask your pediatrician or family practitioner for an immediate evaluation:

No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter
No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or other facial expressions by nine months or thereafter
No babbling by 12 months
No back-and-forth gestures, such as pointing, showing, reaching, or waving by 12 months
No words by 16 months
No two-word meaningful phrases (without imitating or repeating) by 24 months
Any loss of speech or babbling or social skills at any age
“Most mommies and daddies tell me “I thought there was a problem at 14 or 15 months...and they told me let’s wait and see because sometimes some kids grow out of it.’ Well, that’s not a good answer. We’ve got to make the distinction between less important problems, where we can wait and see from core problems, which involve a lack of reciprocity and a lack of getting to know your world. For these core problems, we have to act on it yesterday. We can’t wait nine months, we can’t wait two months.” (Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D., Child Psychiatrist)

God Bless

some children really do speak late. basic rule of thumb is of you are concerend it doesn't hurt to talk to his pediatrition. they know both you and your child best. MY last sone was a late talker. He didn't start speaking in two words until sometime after 2yrs of age. whre as my other 3 were all either early or right on target but he had other people speaking for him so why bother. Each child is different. I waited Until my son was about 1yr away from starting kindergarten to have him evaluted for his speach. before that I made sure that he had no hearing or developmental issues,

mostimporatantly speak in normal speach to your child and enjoythis time with them they are only this age once:)
good luck.

Answer 5

You shouldn't worry so much. Is your son bi-lingual? I was as a toddler, and didn't pick up talking until I was almost THREE years old. Bilingual children have a much bigger vocabular that they have to make sense of and sort through. Once they DO start talking though, they're more advanced than children their age...so DON'T WORRY. If he's not bilingual, it still shouldn't be any cause for concern. Some children bloom later than others..i've seen it in our family and friends plenty of times. Delay of speech can be hereditary as well. Here's a helpful link:

Answer 6

my youngest 2 children were both late in talking. I Istarted each one in speech therapy as soon as I thought there may have been a problem, My daughter was fine with the speech therapy and caught up wonderfully however my little boy is now six and has a speech disability which is slowing him down, and it's still hard to understand a lot of what he says. See a speech therapist just to be on the safe side . he may not ned it.

Answer 7

he may very well be a late bloomer, but he's over 2 years old now and the average 2 year old is putting together sentences and learning to use pronouns and plurals. he doesn't have a speech impediment if he can imitate you, but he may have a speech delay. in that case, speech therapy or early intervention can help and even catch him up. also, if that's the case, services may be free through your local school district.

if it's not just a late bloomer, it could be related to other issues... ask your pediatrician to be on the safe side...

Answer 8

The more you push him the less he will talk.Talk with him daily but stop having him repeat.My brother done that to his kid and at 4yrs old the poor boy was like a mocking bird.Would only say what he was told to say.Also see what the pediatrician says.

Answer 9

make him to imitate sounds by making funny faces and noises.
u will c the change.all the best.

Answer 10

No, some children could be a late bloomer...I'm sure he'll talk when he's ready
