Patient's question:
He doesn't speak yet, but he understands what we say. He used to call "Mom" and "Dad" when he was one year old, but now he can't say a word. What should we do?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Colds, taking medicine and injections.
What kind of help do you want: How can he learn to speak?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, a 19-month-old child not responding to speech is also normal. At one year old, they have spoken, so it is speculated that the home environment may be relatively quiet, and there are fewer opportunities for family communication and responses, which has led to the child not developing the habit of responding. It is recommended that parents spend more time with the child and frequently engage in conversations with them. Regardless of whether the child responds or not, parents should continue to speak to them to promote the growth and development of their response centers.
