Patient's question:
The child is three and a half years old and answers incoherently. When calling for parents, they only say one word. They don't say anything except for a few words. They love playing with phones and watching dinosaurs, imitating dinosaur sounds. How can I make the child answer coherently?Doctor's answer:
The child is three and a half years old and only answers in short sentences. You don't need to be too anxious, as children's physical and mental development varies—some are early, and some are late. It might be due to delayed development of the child's language center, so parents should pay more attention. Since the child has a strong ability to imitate deliberately, parents should teach the child to speak coherent sentences every day. Be patient, and you will gradually notice improvements in the child's language function. If necessary, you can have a brain CT scan at the hospital.
