Patient's question:
My nephew is almost two years old, but he can't even say simple words like "" (Dad) or "" (Mom). When I talk to him, he just makes baby sounds. Children his age already know how to speak well and have even started kindergarten. However, because he never speaks, we haven't sent him to kindergarten yet.What kind of help do you need: What should I do if my baby is almost two but still not talking?
Doctor's answer:
At the age of two, if a child still never responds, it may be that each child's growth and development varies. Some children start talking early, while others take a bit longer. Of course, it is also related to the family environment and guidance.At this stage, parents should try to communicate more with the child, telling stories, browsing, listening to children's songs, or playing games to encourage the child to respond. Alternatively, use a gentle approach to prompt the child to speak. When the child wants something, don’t give it to them immediately. Instead, let them ask for it first, and then give it to them. This will leave a deeper impression on them and help them remember better.
