I’m stressing

You could look into speech therapy if you want.

Do you already watch Ms Rachel?

I'm sick so can't really do a big hype speech. But. You are a good mum, you are not failing, and this isn't an emergency. Take it one day at a time. Look after yourself.

he didn’t like it when he wasn’t lil but he kinda pays attention to it not for long. Which is showing me adhd cause if im not Interest in it then im not gonna watch it I’ve tried that I have flash cards he laughs at them when he hears the words or he likes to do himself. The other day he took a bath and gave me the balls and I told him hey give me the other two and he did so he understands me I just want answers and stuff

Remember to be kind to yourself. You are a great mum because you are worried.

Remember a lot of this can also be very normal toddler behaviour. My toddler will rarely keep attention for a minute or so on different activities. She likes to flit from one thing to another. Could it be a sign of autism or adhd? Maybe but remember toddlers have a short attention span.

In terms of speech delay, my daughter was delayed at 2 and then she had a speech explosion. At 2 she had maybe 20 words to her. She did start nursery which helped but I totally understand your anxiety and its your choice if you want to send him or not. My daughter is now 2.5 and its only in the last month or so that this speech explosion suddenly happened. X

thank you 😊 that kinda calmed me and I hope it comes soon cause google has been stressing me out more 🫩🩷

I was so stressed out over my girls speech. All her peers were stringing sentences together and she wasn't. I took her to speech therapy who the first session said she was behind then the second session was happy she wasn't and signed her off. I was always goggling. The one thing I noticed was that she wasn't mimicking me, and that is a crucial stage to the building blocks of talking apparently. So I started with actions I knew she knew like Clapping, touching parts of the body and labelling them. I constantly made ga, ma, da sounds and she eventually started mimicking. I have no idea if it actually helped or not, but she now knows over 300 words and can string sentences together of at least 5 words. X

I have ADHD and my lb had a speech delay and was showing similar signs at 2. His nursery referred him to speech development classes, and following that, at 2.5, he too had a speech explosion. Now, at 3, he still shows signs of having ADHD sometimes, but they aren't so noticeable now that he can express himself more easily and honestly it's hard to tell with children this age because it can also be normal developmental behaviour. Also, I think if you've received diagnosis yourself, it's easier to get your child diagnosed but that won't happen until around 4-6. I just try to parent on the basis that he does have ADHD and that seems to help a bit.

Be kinder to yourself, you haven't failed him, you're doing a great job!

I know you are worried, but he sounds like a normal 2 year old to me!

My daughter isn’t in nursery either so I take her to toddler groups every week so she can socialise (I take her to one, her dad takes her to one, and her grandparents take her to another, so it’s not all on me! I have adhd too and groups are sensory overload sometimes 😅). She is not as advanced with her speech as some of her peers but she’s amazing in other ways!! Like she was running and jumping before most kids her age… some kids are movers, not talkers.

Long story short, I don’t think you’re failing your son at all. Keep doing what you’re doing ♥️♥️

You are a amazing mom, he got time. Please don’t worry yourself to much

your doing good momma! just know not kids develop at the same speed, some just take longer. but i understand you because i had a son thats almost 2 almost 3 and people constantly tell me that hes behind on speech and blah blah, so i took him to get tested and they doctor told me, if you know what he’s saying and is learning words than hes good but i will say im currently trying lingo leap drop from tt i would definitely recommend !! my son is definitely talking more

thank you i definitely know and understand him

Thank you everyone for your advice
