Ok, I will not scare you, but just be aware. Or son didn't talk at that age as well. Look for these symptoms as well.....does he interact with other children? does he seem to lose a skill that he previously mastered? look up autism....see if those are signs that you need to be aware of...if not, consider yourself lucky. Autism affects 1 in 166 children and some can go undiagnoised. It's always good to be aware of things..just because you have children that have been just "normal" doesn't mean that it can't happen to you. I wish you all the luck and don't be scared by this, but aware......

There is a program called the birth to 3 program and it is very useful and it is available through out the US. And they offer programs for speech. My daughter was the same way and she sees a speech therapist every week and she get home schooling every week as well and it has really helped her along she'll be three this February and she been in the program since she was 1 1/2 and you can call any state facility that deals with assistance (even if you don't need it) and they can get the number for you, and hopefully they have a program called HANNA and it helps a great deal to help to teach you child even if its not your first time around there still so much out there that it doesn't hurt but to try. Well I hope this helped.

ooh i'm sorry i might tension you subject concerns to his scientific expert and get a referral for a speech therapist. My son was once the equivalent age and on occasion stated something, only made alot of noises, He was once pointed out with autism 6 months later. he's now 7 and is talking up a typhoon, early intervention is the passable scientific care. I also have a nephew who has the equivalent diagnosis as my son, and so as that they (the mom and dad) are in finished denial. they have alot of subject concerns with him so a approaches as his temper, and low muscle tone. All when you consider that his mom and dad are idiots. i'm now no longer saying that what your toddler has, even with the undeniable fact that that's greater often than not a threat, does he do something surprising. My son might desire to line up his Cheerios till now than he might desire to consume them, he'd organize m&ms by way of shade and line them up. He by no capacity extremely "performed" with toys. in case you anymore questions approximately it call his scientific expert and make him wakeful of your subject concerns, and in the event that they're asserting "enable's wait and be conscious" do no longer take that as an respond, pass and be conscious somebody else

He is still within the single-word stage of language development. Is he learning new words? To be within the norm, he should have 50 vocabulary words before he starts using two-word sentences at between 20 and 26 months. Boys mature more slowly than girls, and individual boys can vary from each other in the rate they learn speech and language. Relax, Mom; it sounds like he'll be ok.

He is absolutely fine, I have 3 boys and another on the way. They have all been different. i am sure you have heard girls are more advanced than boys...it is true on the majority. They just mature at a much quicker rate. Although my first son was talking and potty trained at 2 and so many otehr blessings but my other 2 have been much later at things. Its okay! he will eventually talk! Remember boys also have less to say than girls....ALWAYS!

He's fine, honest. But he has figured out that there is a houseful of bigger people who will get or do anything he wants. My daughter did the same thing because she had three older brothers who anticipated her every wish, command and move.

My son is almost 17 months and he doesn't say much either. Mostly he babbles ALL the time. He has 2 much older siblings so that probably has an impact.

So you compare children? You ARE aware that children aren't interchangable parts right? That just because ONE does something at one stage in life they ALL will? Every child is an individual and each one grows and develops at their own pace after having four children you should be well aware of this.
