Speech

28 months no words . Dont worry at all. Its normal for boys! Plus until 3 nothing to worry about.
I find it surprising as so many ask same but my circle of parents with boys- all spoke late and its ok :)

My daughter says very little. She says 1 sentence and a few words. My middle child didn't talk at all until she went to school. They started a speech and language referral but she just started talking and never shut up since 😂

26 months and non verbal still, but does have some cards to communicate with. Just keep doing what you're doing, as long as they have the ability to say words speech therapy isn't really useful, it's more kids who are non verbal and have no receptive understanding of verbal communication.

Nearly 24 months mostly non verbal started saying words young and regressed, he’s very clear with mum (won’t say when asked🤦🏼‍♀️) dada, said bubble the other day but not since, yes and no have become clearer, can say bye/hiya but both sound so similar when he says it 😂 and that’s about it. From others it seems normal but my eldest was very different xxx

My son is being referred as they think he has glue ear and that’s why he isn’t really talking although he says mumma (a million times a day) hi ya, ok, uh oh, ooooh, dadda, but he signs as well from watching mr tumble and miss Rachel on repeat so he can sign more, friends, thank you, just started doing please xx

We’re the same! It’s started to increase over the last few weeks so I’m not concerned! He’s always concentrated on physical stuff rather than verbal!

thank you for the reassurance, I really hope his speech comes along soon

what age did your middle child start talking and did you have any other concerns? Did you feel nursery/school helped with their speech x

thank you, yes I’ve heard from a few people that speech therapy doesn’t really help much, I’m going to carry on repeating words, reading etc. Hope all goes well with your little one x

that reminds me of my son, he was saying quite a few words when he was around 16m but it just stopped, these past few weeks he’s started to say a few words, some in context and the rest is gibberish lol, I hope your little ones speech comes along soon xx

When she started school so would have been about 3.5 years. They started the referral as I told them she never spoke. But she just started out of the blue as soon as she started school. No help or anything x

what made them think he has glue ear and how do they check if it is? I suspected that my little boy might have it too, my lb loves mrs Rachel too, he’s learnt so much from her! xx

aww that’s so good that your little ones speech has increased over the past few weeks! My lb concentrated on the physical stuff too, he loves running climbing jumping! Xx

Yes my boy is great at running and jumping and climbing! He’s never repeated words back to us like a lot of other children do and likes to do things on his own terms 😂

I had it when I was a child and he has zero balance and is forever falling over lol it might not be but he is waiting to go to the hospital and see the ENT doctor he babbles away in his own way but he is getting frustrated now that he has so much he wants to say but can’t and he signs now which helps x
