I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS NOT EVEN BEGAN TO TALK. HE KNOWS THE USUAL WORDS,LIKE [MAMMA DADDY JUICE ]. THE DOCTOR ISN'T SAYING IT'S HIS HEARING. I'M AT A LOST. HE'S MY FIRST CHILD. HOW CAN I GET HIM TO TALK? I READ TO HIM I TRY TO GET HIM TO PRONOUNCE WORDS NOTHING.
He just may be delayed in his speech. Try reading books and enroling him into play groups - this will help his speech. Social interactions with other children really help children verbalize. Also, play tapes at night when your child is a sleep.
Library has great tapes that you can borrow. I was thinking like songs, nightime music....not instrumental, something with words. This way it is pleasant and may help.
I would also see a speech therapist or health nurse, get some ideas from other professionals. Working in daycare I have seen children who are three and not speaking, however "social interactions with other children really helps them to vocalize". Good luck.
I have had difficulties understanding my 3 year old boy. He talks his own language which makes things really hard. He can say some sentences but a lot of the time the words he says just don't make sense. I was told from someone that it was caused from when he started talking with a dummy in his mouth. I took him to speech therapy and they told me that there was no serious problem and that he will speak when he's ready but with a little encouragement on the way...
My advise is when your son asks for something like when he says juice encourage him to say juice please, for eg.
But I do agree that taking him to play group or somewhere where there are other children he may pick it up from others.
Hope this helps...
Have you had him tested for Autism? Don't get me wrong, there maybe several reasons why your son has not started talking. However one of the signs of autism is delayed speech. Studies have shown that children with Autism develop normally until about age 2. After that age that is when parents tend to notice that the child is not on the normal development track as other children in their age group. Again, I am not saying this to be negative but you might want to have him checked out. I have 2 friends who's children are autistic and they began to notice the delayed development around age 2 & 3. Good luck to you.
Have other people in your family had similar problems? My cousins from my Aunt's side have a situation where the boys don't really talk until they get into school (interaction) or they have difficulty forming the words when they do try to talk.
get him some talking toys too. Teddy Ruxpin (if you remember him, lol) really helped my cousin, Derrick. Ummm...what else? Get him on the phone to family members. He has to communicate by speech, especially his favorite ones. When he says "juice", try having him say a sentance "May I have some juice, please?" or even try getting him to say Juice please. Every little bit helps. nrse4lyfe has a good point about the autism though. it never hurts to check.
My Doctor Has Yet To Recommend A Hearing Test Or Anything. I Don't Know If Him Going To His Grandma's House And Them Only Speaking Spanish And My House English. I Feel Like It's My Fault
