Why cant my son talk? Serious only please!!?

Question

My son is almost 2, and he cant talk. Have you dealt with this? what is wrong with him???

If youpost anything derogitory about my son, I will flag you and send you a citation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son can say very few words. He makes noises, and thats all. he can hear very well.

I clicked on health question, not cancer, I know its not cancer. Thats just a typo.

He is a VERY, VERY smart boy!!!!

He is a normal boy, he loves, laughs, plays, bites. A typical 2 year old. But he just cant talk. That is the only thing.

Answer 1

I don't have any 'answers' for you. But, it may help to know that Albert Einstein did not say a word until he was four years old.

Best wishes.

Answer 2

Does he stare off when you try to communicate with him? Tell me more if you can. There could be several things. But if he doesn't respond to you emotionally in a loving way or he doesn't play with other children. Does he come to you when you call him? If any of this is a factor you need to take him to your child's doctor and tell him. A form of Autism is one of these causes.

Or do you just have him to point at things and you get them for him? If this is the case try to make him say what he want before you get it for him Do you read to him and does he respond?
Have you had his hearing checked?

I have a friend that has a child that has a form of Autism and I noticed this when he was around the age of 1 1/2 and I told her but she didn't take him to the doctor. I worked with this child and I taught him what I could. But she just didn't try. He was almost 7 when the school told her he had a form of Autism and he has to work with a specialist every school day and he needs help at home but he doesn't get it because she want go and learn how to work with him and she' not very smart herself. I'm not being mean she's a real good person but she doesn't know the difference between the fake world and the real world. But I'm still her friend and I try to help her because I know it's not her fault because of her roots or up bringing and other problems. So take your son to a specialist if you have to and find out early because the earlier the better. Thank you for being a concerned parent. Goood luck and God Bless You!

Answer 3

Did he just turn 2? It would really depend on just how many months he is...my son really only said about 5 words when he turned 2 and now a 4 sometime I can't get him to stop talking. When you take your son for his check up tell the dr...they will point you in the right direction. My co-worker has a speech pathologist come in to work with her daughter...she is 2 1/2 and doesn't speak. Good luck to you and your boy and this might be a speech delay....not a big deal if it is!

Answer 4

I have a friend who has a little boy with Apraxia. He's not deaf either but has very limited speech. He was tested by a developmental psychologist who made the diagnosis. Apraxia is the inability to convert thoughts to words. He's made great strides by learning some sign language and working with a speech therapist. It's important to get an early diagnosis and to do early intervention so that he's not delayed in school. Since he is only two there may be no problems at all - just slower than others in developing.

There's a PBS show called "Signing Times" that you might try to find on your local stations. Also libraries have books and DVDs, videos, to teach sign language. It helps because children with language problems can become very frustrated in trying to make themselves understood - and parents too.

Good luck to you and your little one - hopefully you'll be able to find a good pediatrician who can help you both. Blessings ...

Answer 5

What a wonderful mother you seem to be. If you need help with any nasty people, let me know. I will be in to help you. My son was having great problems and had problems talking at two. I had to move to a larger city to get medical help for him. The second visit to the new doctor, a hearing test was given and he had his tonsils and adenoids removed. He had tubes put into his ears. He changed and learned to talk right. You may have to search and search to find a good pediatrician to help him. Just love him a lot. When talking to him, have him watch the movement of your mouth to see how each word is made by your mouth. Please make sure that he tries to tell you what he wants. Some parents just give the child what he/she wants when they point the child will end up going to school not talking because he/she was never shown/made to say the words. Happens a lot.

Answer 6

The only word I said at 2 was "No" except I am told that it was always said like this, "nonononono" lol. I have always been above average intellectually, although I am horrible at athletics. Essentially I am a normal person, I just didn't feel like talking until I was two. As long as his hearing is fine, and he seems to understand all the other basic concepts a 2 year old son should, I think you are fine.

Answer 7

Does he not vocalize at all? Or do you mean he doesnt put sentences together...but has some words ? My nephew was a late starter with speech...he had to go to a speech therapist for a few years, but speaks beautifully now. Your boy might have hearing difficulties....or it could be that he doesnt speak because he has no motivation to do it. Some kids have older siblings that speak for them, or a parent interprets hand signals and facial expressions...so the child has no need to verbalize. You should talk to your family doctor if you are really worried about it. And dont worry....almost two really isnt very late for speech !

Answer 8

First tell your doctor. Call every hour if you're not satisfied with his answer. I'm no expert but if there is some disturbance in your household, that could effect it. My daughter was potty trained at 2, then I went through a divorce & I had to start all over again. I could've sworn that she was going to be in diapers until high school lol, but once our lives got settled, she was back to normal. I didn't walk until I was 4, so each child walks & talks at his own speed. Believe me, I know you're probably driving yourself nuts with worry but in 5 years you'll look back & hopefully laugh at all the unneccessary worry. Good luck

Answer 9

I have never experienced this because I am not married nor pregnant or have a baby. Try taking him ot the doctor. He could just be a late bloomer. Spend long hours trying to teach him. I reccomend taking him to the doctor and they will help you. A lot of littler kids cant talk fully at 2 years old. Don't be too worried but take him to the doctor.

Answer 10

Probably nothing wrong with him. I've watched many kids growing up and most start speaking between 2 and 3. Some can say a few words before they turn 2.

Answer 11

You definitely need to get him assessed by your physician. I can tell you however, that it doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong. Does he say any words at all? Mama? Dada? One of my daughters was slow to talk. It was just her personality. There was nothing wrong. She didn't start blabbing until after 2 years old. Your dr can tell you however if it is a developmental issue. If he is not behind in other things, though, it may just be a personality thing.
