What should I do if a three-year-old child does not speak?

Patient's question:

My three-year-old son doesn't respond properly, just calls "Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, older brother, older sister," but he knows everything. He doesn't like watching cartoons and doesn't like listening to children's songs. I want to know what's going on and what kind of help he needs: I want to know if there's something wrong with the child.

Doctor's answer:

The child may be lacking opportunities for practical experience. Objectively speaking, children under the age of three have not yet improved their language functions, so their interactions with peers and their communication with others outside may encounter many disruptions. As a result, they may not be very adept at interacting with the outside world. However, after the age of three, it is important to expand their social world and behaviors. If parents give their children opportunities to showcase themselves, encourage them more, and provide them with more practical experiences, they will gradually recover.
