My daughter is almost 4 years old and still cant talk right do u think this is normal?

Answer 1

This is not normal at all. Have you talked with her doctor about this? I would recommend a speech therapist.

Answer 2

Yes, it is normal. My daughter hardly talked at all until age 4. Up until then, she called me something that sounded like 'heklit' because she couldn't even say 'mama.' Today, she's 26 years old and in medical school, where she talks just fine.

Read to your daughter, and don't let anyone talk gobbledygook or babytalk to her. If your pediatrician says she's fine, she'll eventually start putting things together.

Answer 3

By the age of 1 a child should be able to babble, by 2 words are starting to come out and then the words become more clearer to you. Take her to the doctor. Arrange an appt. soon.

The percentage of children with autism is raising yearly, do not panic, there are some cases where the situation is different. Children can grow out of autism.

Answer 4

My 4 year old son has the same problem. It may be nothing, but check with her pediatrician first to get a doc's diagnosis of the problem just so they can rule out other problems like hearing or autism. They may recommend speech therapy. You can help at home, just be patient. I sit down with my son and read him books to build his vocabulary. Correct them (in the nicest way) that they didn't pronounce a word right. Avoid using any more baby words like " potty"or "nite-nite". Repeat the mispronounced word to them.

Answer 5

my son , who will be 11 in august was the same way. i worried about it especially when he went into Kinder. the teacher didn't seem to especially concerned and said he'd just grow out of it. well i didn't think so. i made the school test him, without teacher recommendation, and it was decided it was in his best interest to attend a few hours a week during school with a speech therapist. this wasn't decided til the end of Kinder so he started in 1st grade and was officially released at the end of 4th grade. there are times when i still have difficulty understanding his words, but now its because of the WAY he learned them. he articulates or annuciates his consonants with real thought behind them. i smile everytime i hear his voice because i thought he would forever talk in baby talk. i tell him he speaks as if he is from Boston (bahsten) or someplace North. we are in Texas. i thought in the beginning he had an ear/hearing problem but we eliminated that with a physician's exam. an Ear, nose and throat Dr. well i hope this helps. if you need to chat more just email me: [e-mail]

Answer 6

Have you had her ears checked? Maybe she has problems hearing you and thus can't imitate your language properly. Or do you mean she isn't making proper sentences all the time? That's normal, at 4 sentence structure can still be a bit errant and funny word creations may pop up.

Answer 7

talk to your pediatrician. are there any other developmental delays you have noticed? after talking to your pedi., he may recommend to enter your daughter in a speech walk on program at an elementary school. It may be nothing at all. The best thing to do is to talk to your pedi soon so if you do need to get speech services, you can asap.

Answer 8

It depends on what you mean. If you mean she doesn't use proper grammar... well, what is she hearing from you at home??
If you mean she is difficult to understand, lisps, 'swallows' some words... with any of these she could have a hearing problem or could have a congenital speech defect.
I would recommend that if you have doubts about her development then you should speak to her pediatrician.

Answer 9

Yeah dude. I's all cool. I have a cousin who's gonna be 5 years old in a month and can't talk right but he's really smart.

Answer 10

need more information. I see this alot ceom frmo parents "baby talking" to their children alot. Do you talk down to your child or talk in 'cute' baby speak to them or do you talk to them like you would you're friends.

I havea 3.5 yr old and ive talked to her like I would my family from day one and she has developed excellent communication skills and can even sit down with her and havea full on conversation (normally about puppies or dolls or something but hey). Where as my older step sister talks down to her child all the time and her talking really hasnt developed which is a large concern being that she is 6.

Answer 11

It depends on what you mean by can't talk right. You should be able to have her evaluated by either the school district, or her pediatrician, to find out of she needs speech therapy.
