My 2nd son is 1 1/2 yr old..still he does not speeks properly ..................

I don't think there is anything wrong with your son. Your eldest child may have been a little advanced. Your son is only 18-months-old. My last child was 28-months-old before he said his first complete sentence, and it was 'I no...pee pee....in my pants.' He also never had anything under an A on his report card until he hit middle-school; and then nothing under a B. My first son would toddle to the refrigerator, point, then scream his head off. He would not say tea, drink, thirsty, or anything. He would just stand there and scream, which in turn made me want to scream and force him into telling me what he wanted, which he could have. I think when they're little they make-up their own vocabulary. My youngest also got fighting mad at his dad when he was real little and called his dad a 'Ding-spit'. To this day we have no idea where he got that from.

Maybe kids develop differently. SOme may walk early, some may not. Some may speak early while others are late. Give you kid a time while teaching him to speak. Make him listen to radio and watch tv. Sooneer or later he will talk properly. He is too young so I guess no need to worry about that.

Every child is different. Their brains develop differently. When your son asks for something repeat it a few times. Then make him repeat it back to you. don't give it to him until he does. Some children just take longer to learn to talk. it doesn't mean he is slow or having problems.

Hi Rapolu!It can be a worry, but fortunately all children develop at different rates. Have you tried holding him and resting your throat on the back of his head, then make the sounds of the things you are holding or pointing to, and try to guide him with the tone and depth of your voice. for example - take an apple and let him hold it - but make the sound and all the sylables for the word like 'AhhhPuuuLLLL' - You should get results in a few days. If you think there is something wrong - take him to see a healthcare professional. Hope that helps. Jimbo

i think there is nothing to worry about that. my son has turned two and he's still not speaking correctly, whereas my other kids especially my eldest was not like him, she was able to speak at that age. kids develops differently, so i think you shouldn't worry about it. just keep on talking to him, he'll learn how to talk properly in his own time.

After four children it still amazes me how different they all are. If I were you I wouldn't worry. Just keep talking to him just as you speak to your older child. Soon he will be speaking nonstop.

There really is no proper time for everything. My son is two and a half, and he's barely understandable. Of course, I understand what he wants, but I'm his mother. Some kids don't string together sentences or intelligible words until they're three. As long as he can communicate what he wants, I wouldn't worry about it yet. He's still in diapers.

My granddaughter had basically the same thing going but was an only child and didn't speak and threw tantrums like you would not believe. We spoke to her family doctor and he sent her to have her hearing evaluated. She was not hearing correctly and they put tubes in both ears. Until she was three she was taught ASL (American sign language) to communicate and taking speech therapy. She is four now and still uses ASL but speaks and speaks normally, she still loves her ASL though and teaches everyone she meets. I am not saying he may have a hearing problem but it may be something to have checked out.

I am willing to make a bet that your oldest child is more than happy to speak for the youngest child making it much easier for your child not to talk. 18 months is young and I would not worry, one day he will come out with full sentences and you will be amazed.

I am no parent but I think there is no need to worry. He doesn't speak so much, but I think he must be able to walk, right? But there is one thing I know and I am sure about that, every children has different ways about growing up. Some start walking at age of 1 or start talking or both; And some don't. Anyways, I hope he will soon. Happy parenting.

I know what you are talking about. I worry about my son too.. he is18 months old and he only will say bye, and maybe momma. He hum words like: thank you and your welcome, and want some. I don't know what this is all about, but my other three didn't do this. I don't know what is wrong, I talk to the doctors and they didn't say anything. They really act like it was OK. So, I guess just give him time.

Personally i wouldn't worry until the child is about 4,kids progress at different rates.But if you're still concerned after a few months then you could think about contacting a speech therapist

I think there is nothing to worry about that.If you want a confirmation for this issue you can consult an ENT doctor. I have seen many children who dint speak till the age of 5 and then started to speak .So i dont think this is a matter of concern

if your son isn't "speaking" properly try to read to him and tell him to repeat after you. skip the phonics.

Nothing to worry about at this stage. All kids are different. One of my nephews did not speak until he was four and sometimes you wish he did not now. But seriously as long as he is alert and and knows what is going on around him it is okay. When he finds he can't get everything he wants by pointing to it he will start talking

Hi rapolu, don't worry about it, each child is unique, so don't compare your children. I would suggest you give some interesting children's books to the child and read aloud stressing on the words , this does help. While I was teaching at a Kindergarten school , we were doing this with slow learners and it really helped when you are doing it regularly, say for half an hour each day. It also develops a love for books among children which is very essential in personality formation in later life - don't worry at all, just be relaxed in front of him , All the best, have a great day and happy mylotting

don't worry yourself. every child has a different developmental stages. sometimes they walk first before talking or the other way around. what you can do is to encourage him with activities that might help him talk. like have him watch kiddie shows that help and teach kids how to talk or say words properly. let him interact with other kids too. be sure to guide and be there for him so you can help and see his progress. and best of all, always give him warm hugs and kisses to assure him that whatever he is you love him and proud of him.

In child psychology we were taught that if the psychomotor comes first (arms/legs movement) the speech is delayed. If speech comes first, walking is delayed. But it could also be that with other children both psychomotor and speech develop simultaneously. A mother's advice - keep talking to your tot and never baby talk. He will converse with you when he is ready. Another thing, never compare your children with what they can or cannot do. Every individual is his own being. There are so far eight intelligences studied. One may be mathematically intelligent but another could be spatially superior. You would discover that as your children grow older. As for now give them both a lot of loving and encouragement.

hey don't afraid my cousins son was not talked even his age was 4 but hat time also he try to tal "pa pa pa". so don't afraid

Now,many doys do not thlk until they are close to 2.Does he make sounds...like Da?What dose the pediatrician say? Is he developing normally in other ways? If so, I would not worry
