Thank you so much for this video! I will definitely use your advice and hopefully that helps my almost 3 year old toddler to speak! Whoever is reading this I hope you have a blessing life!
Thank you for this video! My daughter used to watch around 1 hour of tv everyday and we completely stopped and she went from 0 words to 50 words by the end of the week. Now she’s at 200 words 3 months later! Instead of watching tv when I’m doing chores she tags along and we talk about what’s going on I think it has helped her a lot!
my son is the same he watches endless amounts of cartoons and jus in few days I have seen huge improvement in terms of making sounds and eating. I guess it will also take him at.least a few months to speak 👄.
Thank you a lot my son watches lots of tv mostly learning videos he’s 2 now and is starting to try to sing songs with the videos but the words just don’t come out recently I took the tv away and he pays more attention now of what I say most of the time I did see a difference
I saw his recommendation and approach Dr Oyalo for Your herbs on RU-vid. The herbs has so far work positive on my child’s eye contacts and speech improvement
I can't even focus, because your baby is so cute!! Lol, thanks for the tips. My son is 4, my problem is I'm always comparing.. & you're right, I should only compare him to himself & how much he has improved over time.
You are most welcome! I'm from the US and now practicing in Dubai, UAE for the past year. I'm learning a little Arabic ( English is primarily spoken here ) I'm involved in a large Pediatric practice with Neurologists and the whole rehab team.: www.Neuropedia Children's Neuro Science Center.ae you can access some information there as well! Best wishes to you and your son !
Kate Z that’s amazing that your son has progressed to conversational speech with the help of your guidance with his communication . Quite often with babies, some children need more interaction with their parents throughout the day ,as well as reading , nursery rhymes and songs to give them that extra “ push” for language acquisition . Sometimes they don’t actually need formal Speech Therapy, but when parents have questions, it’s good to have an initial consult with the SLP or with an Audiologist if you suspect hearing impairment. In terms of “how long does it take for results in therapy “ we are often asked this question by parents , because they’re excited to see results! The answer is , it depends on the child’s severity of the language delay or speech disorder, the earlier the better of the identification of the diagnosis ,the better the outcomes ,as sometimes we see babies as early as infants to include babies with swallowing/ feeding disorders in NICU with a diagnosis of Dysphagia. In addition , “time in therapy” depends on their diagnosis , how motivated the child is during therapy sessions and the carry over of therapy strategies to the home and school environment Speech Pathologists depend and encourage parents to assist their child outside of the therapy sessions with given “speech homework” which is paramount in the success of the child”s language progression . Children do have “ explosions of language development “ often tied to other developmental norms such as crawling or walking and just exploring the world ! They have more to say and do , as they make their wants, needs , requests and desires known to their families . I hope this information was helpful and blessings to you Kate and your amazing son!
Thank you ,my pleasure to always help parents out. If you think it would be helpful on your blog site , it will be fine to copy and paste my thoughts and comments.
My husband just shared this video with me and I think it's really great!! Our 2yr old son just started speach therapy about a month ago. Still no words, but he has improved so much in other areas. I will certainly take these tips into consideration and sharing it with our interventionalist!
This is a very good video compared to the vast majority of youtube videos of a similar theme, most other videos it's obvious that it's a parent whos an extravert who has a child that's an introvert, people think that something is wrong if you don't enjoy communicating, children and adults, introverts are seen as defective.
My friend Jo Darters, has developed a tool called ' Teddy Talk Test' it's available to buy, just search on Google She is an experienced Speech and Language Therapist in UK
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and all your other videos, in regards to children with speech delays. You gave really great tips and reinforcements. I'm a mom of two boys (toddler and an infant) my two and a half year old has a speech delay. He's extremely smart, very observant and a fast learner (very visual and hands on) but struggles with speech.. Your video calms my soul. Because of course as parents we feel as if we are doing something wrong.. I love the the part about not comparing them to other children. And having them look at your mouth, I've been doing that with my son as well. 👍 please keep the videos coming 😊
Thank you so much for this. Going through this right now with my little girl, who is pushing twenty months. Her older sister is very verbal and I think this is holding her back a little. No real support here in Indonesia, so your video has really helped ease my mind.
Thank u so much for this video. My 3yo son doesnt talk much. His 1st pedia said we should bring him to a nuero cause he has a sign of autism just because he doesnt look into her eyes, she said my son is not focused. When i bring my son to the other pedia she talked to my son then to me asking for my sons daily activity then she said its more possible for a language confussion. We are a filipino we talked our local language at home but my son keeps watchng english movies. After hearing what the 2nd pedia said we talked to my son n english language then yes he understand us and talked a little. Maybe thats why he has a speech delay. Ive been searching on the internet on how to correct and help my son. Luckily found your video. Very simple but informative and useful. Im gonna use your tips from now on and il update for any future improvements... Thank u
I'm a speech therapist. I was looking for something from a parent prospective to share on a Facebook page I am starting for parents. Love your video! I'm going to share it on my page-Candid Conversations about Communication Disorders.
Thank you so much for this video! My son just had his first visit with his speech therapist today and it was very disheartening. He’ll be 18 months old in a couple weeks. I’m definitely going to try these!
Both my sons 3 & 5 have speech delays But over the time they have been growing out of it.! I just did speech therapy and a lot of at home one on one time with my kids and it seemed to help
T'LOVE DAILY I have the same problem with my both daughters 4 & 6 have speech delay and it’s hard for me because my english is not good, I don’t know what to do 😔
Laura01920 I heard that in a bilingual household where there are two languages spoken a speech delay can be common and usually they grow out of it...and speech programs and early interventions can be a great help:)
How can you handled two todler with speech delays? My son 2 & 4 have speech delays. It's totally my bad, because i'm working and my son too much to watching tv for cartoon in english but everyday we communicate in Bahasa.. Thanks.
Thanks for encouraging other parents out there! I have tons of videos on here with tips for parents of kids with speech delays and I love what you did in this video.
If they say something wrong, don't say "no that's not right" because they think they are saying it right and you will discourage them. Take your child's hands and clap out syllables of words as you say them.
You are a great mom. This is my second time listening to your RU-vid video and I have to say you have great tips....I can tell your into you r mother role. you are helping me with my grandson, we think has a speech delay, not sure because he has not finished his evaluation. But I am just observing and knowing this child has been a little differrent from my biological children and my other grandchildren. So thank you so much for sharing.
Shirley Robinson thank you so much that’s so sweet:) it’s def difficult when it’s not what you were used to with your own children. Just do your best:) best wishes to you and your grandson XX
Thank you SO MUCH for all your speech delay videos. New subscriber here with a 2.5 yo and just watching your videos back to back! Thank you for the encouragement.
Thank you for uploading this video. As because RU-vid is universal, this video might help people from all over the world, if parents can understand every word of this video. For the sake of a proper understanding, may I please request you to talk little slower, so people from every nationality get benefit of your efforts. Thank you
Thank you so much for the video. Been so stressed out over my 3yr old son's delayed speech. I will put your advice into action and will get back to you on whether my 3 yr old is improving on his speech or not.
My 2 year old has a speech delay and he loves Pixar cars and everything with wheels. One day I was putting his cars in a toy wagon saying in when I put them in and out when I took each out. I was putting them in and all of a sudden my son screams “out” and throws a temper. I was a proud mama saying yaaay while my son was screaming. Also he does good while holding the object. I was trying to get him to say banana before I gave it to him but he wouldn’t say it. I gave it to him and he pats me on the leg and looks at me and says banana.
Drakes Nest I am thinking about more tips/activities on getting your son to speak. My son is 3 and he says some words here and there but not often enough. So anything you do that would work for your little boy would be wonderful. There’s not much on RU-vid, anything would feel comfortable sharing would be awesome 👍🏻 thank you again for replying.
Thank you so much for this video my son will be turning 4 in November. He is too old for early intervention and he can’t start preschool until this September. I feel as though my doctor is no help so I am switching doctors. I also feel there is little help out there for him. Any thing you can recommend I greatly appreciate it. I live in south Jersey.
Kristen Joanne if your doctor is t helping maybe it would be good to switch, I’d then contact the your town and see about evaluations and early intervention services...there is a lot out there you just have to ask around. Best of luck xx
Repeat back to them what they do say when they start picking it up too, to validate the words they are using to you. ❤ my only other tip. This video is very good though.
I saw his recommendation and approach Dr Oyalo for Your herbs on RU-vid. The herbs has so far work positive on my child’s eye contacts and speech improvement
Hollys592 2 is still so young! If your concerned talk to your doc abt getting them evaluated, the younger you start the better, plus having professionals involved helps you feel less lost hehe best of luck!;)
She is seeing a speech therapist for 2 months now. But I am still lost and feel like what I'm doing isn't working but I love your tip of buying the same toys they use
Hollys592 at times it can feel very frustrating and you feel like they aren't getting it and are hitting plateaus ect..,it takes a lot of time, work, consistency and patience...just keep doing what your doing and it'll eventually start clicking...sometimes it's a slow process...every kid is diff. My son is now four and he's made tremendous progress but he still has a lot more to make...takes time;)
My son is 2yrs old and I have feeling like he has a lot of things to say but he can't form proper words. We speak 2 languages at home, and he listens to another language in the kindergarten. I'm surprised at the idea of using straw as a muscle building activity. I think that's a great suggestion! My only problem is that my son hates straws so I have no idea how to make him use one. 😕
A lot of kids who bear multiple languages at home at slow to start talking I believe. Maybe talk to your doctor about your concerns but I’m believe that’s pretty common and that they do catch up:)
Thank you for video, my DD soon ll be 3 years old, she has speech delayed. She can explain herself, can ask what does she want. When I compare her 1 year ego she couldnt even point to the pictures. Now biggest problem is she can't answer the questions ( only simple questions as like "what is it" where is your jacket" or how many bird in the table" ) mostly she repeats last words when she don't understand the question , I don't know what I can do
tayo tayo that sounds like how Cullen was, Do you have her in speech? You should, it helps a lot, also do activities I've mentioned in my diff videos...with Cullen it took time, but was a very gradual progression.
Thanks for share ur speech. My son 4 years old , he doesn't talk. Only say Baba , Dada, Didi , Mama , Papa, etc. I am very much worried. He has given Special education, Speech therapy , Occupational Therapy near Hospital. Pls help in this regards.
Mrinal Kansari there's hope! My son had only 2-5 words at the beginning of this year, and now he's talking sooo much. Some of his words aren't super clear but he's made huge improvements. My son will be 4 in September. :) good luck❤️
So did he eventually started talking ? Idk if my son has this meanwhile we already started going to therapy just in case but I love your tip #2 I do it and I should stop .. my baby is unique and I love him whether he ends up being diagnosed with speech delay or not ..
Thank you so much for this video. My son is 22 months old and only saying mama and baba (daddy in my language ) from 12 months. He is saying words or babbling that we don't understand. we are bilingual, English and our language, I am wondering it might be a cause that making his confused. we got an appointment for speech therapy next month and hoping for the best.
Asma Chowdhury I've heard it is common on bilingual families for the kids to have a speech delay, but don't worry usually they do catch up:) speech therapy can def still help tho for sure!:) I did afew videos on speech delay on my channel and will b doing more:)
I love this video! It’s so important for parents to get involved. I just posted a video on Speech and language activities you can do at home with your child
Thanks that helped I appreciate you explained it very simpley . my 4yearold is intelligent but has a hard time pronouncing words her two year old sister talks very clearly but she still on baby language at the age of 4 and this is very fostrating.
@@jollyelmroot doing much better thank you for askn i thnk its something they have to grow out of. She's easly understand now vrs before when i couldn't understand her
Jenna Corpse don’t be scared, hopefully the teachers will help and point you in the right direction:) many times they will give speech therapy in school as well

He def is particular with his eating...but that could also be normal toddler pickiness hehe hard to know...he did not have an issue with switching to solids but I know that can happen and occupational therapy could help with that;)
He’s 18 months and isn’t even saying momma or dada. He just makes noises. He definitely understands what we are saying but his behavior goes from nice to aggressive when he can’t express himself. He often hits anyone or anything when he gets frustrated and will often bang his head on the floor. We are awaiting an appt for early intervention.
I have a 2.5 year old daughter that I feel might have a speech delay. My husband kind of just shrugs it off but its really been bugging me. After watching your videos i really do think i need to make an appointment. Honestly, i feel a knot in my stomach. I feel like i failed her.
Kay Acosta 2.5 is still so young you have not failed! Sometimes it's hard to know or to be able to tell. You have so much time to get her assistance so don't be hard on yourself!:) just mention it to your doc when you meet with them next:)
We are waiting to do speech therapy, but it is all online due to covid. I am hoping I have been trying to do research online before our appointments since I am not sure how well it will go on the computer vs in person.
love this video.... my little girl talks so much at home but wouldn't talk in school or to anyone but me and her dad and she's 4... I'm so worried....what do you think i should do so confused to why this is happening..
Have you talked to your doc about it?? It wouldn't hurt to get her evaluated...my son was def way more chatty at home then out...it may just be a shyness thing or a sensory thing. Sometimes crowds or too much noise can give some kids a sensory overload. Is she talking in complete sentences at home?
I haven't spoken to my doc about it not yet anyway .... and yes she does talk complete sentence very well and home.. I don't know maybe she just shy.... she only whispers in school weird...
karla Lopez I’m going through the same thing right now! My son is about 2 & a half & doesn’t say mama or anything just last week he learned to say “no, no, no” while moving his finger. His doctor has set up a meeting to have him tested for autism which breaks my heart to think so! My oldest who just started pre-K in 3months has learned so much! & I’m going through speech delay process with him! I felt as a failure & guilty to see my friends kids speak so much! Even my baby sister who is just 2months older than my 4 year old speak so clear both English & Spanish! I’ve stopped comparing them & focus on the positive & on how proud I am of him! Thank you for this video! I’m so taking your advices! God Bless you all you your kids! Never give up! They are super smart & with patience & love they will get through this 🥰
My son is 2 years and 2 months now and still only say few words ... doesn't say mama or papa and doesn't repeat a word when we ask him about it even it's one of the words he knows that's makes us worried we started speech therapy but still didn't notice any new words I hope he gets better he does have a lot of tantrums out of frustration.
Lynda Bengra my son was the same...he's five now and talking up a storm. It was a lot of work and interventions but it helped soooo much, Best wishes xx
@@DrakesNest thank you so much for your reply I am so happy for the little one and I hope my son Daniel will be the same too ... I love your videos and they are supper helpful... God bless you and your adorable family lots of kisses ( Lynda from Dubai)
I have 25 month year old baby. He does not respond to his name and does not make eye contact and only say mama papa and dada randomly. Health visitor came and saw him and suggest he will need appointment with speech therapist and for hearing test. As long as I can see his hearing is ok. He does not want to play with me and whatever he get he just lie down with it. He does not like any toys for long he just get bored after some time. He likes to lie down with cooking pan and car. I am planning to give him to the nursery for 2 days a week 8 hour. Will it help him?
i think with nursary it will help. My son is 22month but doesnt respond to his name am thinking of naming him another name because its very frastrating calling him and doesnt respond. anyway good luck mum.
My son is 27 month old, absolutely normal but don't speak a word. Babbles, says single letter, make sound, never said mama, papa. He sometimes hold my hand throw on things he wants. Please guide me.
I saw his recommendation and approach Dr Oyalo for Your herbs on RU-vid. The herbs has so far work positive on my child’s eye contacts and speech improvement
Every kid is different, he isn’t even 2 yet! My son was they same and now he talks up a storm!:) just keep an eye on him and talk to your doctor about speech if you concerned:) best wishes!:)
Will a toy such as Potato Head work? My wife thinks that because Potato Head looks more like a cartoon and not a replica of human being, our child will have misplaced sense of body parts
when did you guys fist realized that your baby had a speech delay? anybody with bilingual babies? my son is 16 months and won't say anything other than Dada and once in a blue moon mama. Thanks in advance
My son was around 18mnth when I noticed and two when we did evaluation...he isn’t bilingual but I have read speech delay can to be quite common in bilingual families:)
Some children that are bilingual will have a delay in speech because their brains are trying to interpret and understand two languages... eventually, if there aren’t other issues you will notice the delay decreasing-CCC-SLP
Ali Hussein oh ok didn’t understand your question. I did allow t.v but I tried not to give too much screen time when he was younger bc of his speech issues, but I didn’t cut it out completely because he did enjoy it:)
A generation of people talking to the camera instead of their children look at how long you didn't talk to this baby document cameras talk to your children.
lassus prophetam and your also apparently from a generation of people going online judging other people they don’t know and leaving rude comments on their videos. I talk and play with my children all day long, this video was meant to help parents with a child with a developmental delay...if your not here for that reason please don’t watch my video. Have a nice day:)
