How to deal with a two-and-a-half-year-old child who talks less?

Patient's question:

A two-and-a-half-year-old child, language development is still okay. He can name things he sees. He also dislikes asking "What is this?" However, when called by his name, he knows it's being addressed to him, but he will never explain, just "Oh, um." If others ask where his grandpa went, he won't explain either. Questions like "Did your mom scold you?" are never explained. Is there anything wrong with his growth and development?

Doctor's answer:

Baby growth and development vary individually. Some babies may develop their language system later, which is normal. Around the age of three, it is also normal for them to respond to questions. You can guide them in pronunciation to enhance their language development. There is no problem with the child's growth and development because their language function is not yet mature, and their language habits are still being developed. They need gradual guidance from adults and there is no need to worry too much about this issue.
