i have 2 yrs 3 months old son, he is still not putting words together or forming sentences, He has the sense to change the TV channel if anything scarry or not as per his mood is coming on it. He can recognise the clinic of the doctor even going after 3 months. Whatever he require he ask for that by pointing only. He keep chanting only two words ie. Mamma & papa , nothing else. Me and my wife keep trying to interect with him but so far nothing has come out. can u plz help or suggest whom shud i consult.

Hi, you can try by talking a lot with your son, dont accept his gestures as a mode of communication and pls encourage him to express himself verbally... you can also enhance his communication by letting him play with other children. I saw a lot of change when my son started going to play school initially - where they have to express themself if they want something. And to begin with pls talk to him in one language so that he is comfortable n to make it easy for the child.

Hi Ranjeet. Each child is different and reach milestones at their own pace. Talking to your son and encouraging him will help him learn to express in words. There have been talks posted by parents earlier on a similar issue. Kindly take a look at the following links to get more of an idea on how to encourage your child to speak- https://www.parentune.com/parent-talk/my-18-month-old-daughter-hasnt-yet-started-talking/137

Hi Ranjeet! Does your son go to preschool as of now? If not, this perhaps is a good time. Putting here a couple of fellow parents (Rashmi's and shivani's) similar experience. they both faced something similar till this intervention. Hope this helps. https://www.parentune.com/parent-talk/my-18-month-old-daughter-hasnt-yet-started-talking/137
