I have a problem with my daughter. She did not talk but screamed to communicate with me and anybody that was in her small life circle. I seek suggestions and recommendations with regards to this. Any activity that would help with my daughter to practice and improve her vocabulary?

Try to get her involved into activities that will help better her speech. You could have her watch educational shows that will help empower her speech and vocabulary. Also, try to get involved with your daughter's developments. Be the best example for her. If you continously talk to her then that might help improve her communication skills.

hi there, She loves to watch barney and friends since 9 months old. But then, I still noticed that she never did try to communicate with me or to other children. Thanks you much and regards always!

my daughter has speech delay too when she was young.I remember, she only knew the word mama in 1 year and 9 months.Maybe because I wasnt have too much time spending with her.i asked the pediatrician about it and she told me my baby is normal but we have to spend time to talk to her(my Baby) and teach her words and the pronunciations.Also one of the factors was we were sorrounded by people with different kind of dialects.she was hearing different kind of words which she dont understand what it means and even us well.I decided even to change our apartment and took lesser jobs to spend more time with her.After two months,she started to know how to call the people in our house and say her needs like water and her milk.after five months more,her speech development was boost.If you can see and hear the way she talks now,you never believe she has speech delay before.shes very talkative and very fluent and i am very happy.my efforts got results.

Have you had her hearing checked? Has she been examined by a doctor? If not, I'd try that first. Then if it's a behavior issue, you can work with her by speaking softly to her, keeping her away from yelling, being sure that your house is quiet and surrounding her with just a few people at a time for a while. She may be reacting (or over-reacting) to noises or something that is bothering her that she can't communicate to you. I wish you the best for your precious daughter.
