Patient's question:
My baby is almost 2 years old and still cannot speak. He can only say a few simple words, like "," "," "," "," "," and "." For everything else, he doesn't know how to say it anymore. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Children are naturally very strong in right-brain thinking, while language belongs to the left brain. Therefore, people with a developed right brain may start speaking a bit later, but this difference is not too significant. Generally, boys' language centers mature relatively later, so girls tend to speak earlier. However, this difference is not too large—it's just a slight delay. Early speakers may start calling out simple words like "Mom" or "Dad" a few months earlier, while some may not speak until they are two years old.
