Patient's question:
The child is 19 months old, a boy, but he still speaks by saying one word at a time. He rarely says two words, and even less often says three or more words. However, he frequently murmurs a string of incomprehensible words.Could you please tell me if his language development is normal for his age? What should I pay attention to in daily life?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The age of children's language development is roughly similar, but there is also individual variation. Generally, children start speaking words at around 1 year old, and their conversational ability develops first in understanding and then in expression, starting with nouns, verbs, etc. At 1.5 years old, vocabulary development is relatively fast, which is related to the parents' daily training. As long as they can speak, it is normal and there is no need to worry. The problem of stuttering in children has always troubled parents. When treating this condition, it is advisable to consider general treatment. Only by using standardized methods can families help children recover from the disease as soon as possible, without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child falls ill, parents will help them recover from the condition as soon as possible.
