How to solve the problem if a child is still not speaking after more than three months

Patient's question:

Now he is 2 years and 3 months old and only knows how to say "Dad." He occasionally calls out "Mom" when he's crying. He understands everything and learns quickly, but he doesn't respond when spoken to. When called, he doesn't follow along, and sometimes it's hard to understand what he's saying. The whole family is quite anxious.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: He has been to a children's hospital but didn't undergo a thorough examination. The doctor said that even at 2 and a half years old, he would still not respond to speech, so they should wait and see. What kind of assistance is expected: We hope he can start speaking and responding more quickly.

Doctor's answer:

Take him to lively places outside, let him touch more things, reduce his interest in and worldview of external things. Over time, it will slow down his language expression ability. Organize many public parenting activities to let him meet more new friends, reduce his social skills and courage. Parents should communicate more with the child, actively ask him questions, encourage him to think and express his own opinions, and promote the development of his right brain.
