My son is 3yrs old and he hardly says a word he understand what I say but won't say it unless it's something he likes but won't say it to clearly he also has lots of tantrums because he wants to do whatever he wants he could cry for hours if he wants, for example we went to go watch a movie and hegot very upset, we went out to dinner at this fish place and he was yelling this cry with no tears until he had enough so I had to leave to the car, he's very affectionate and loveable. Maybe I parent him to delicate since he was my first baby

I guess what you are explaing is a very spoiled little boy and at 3 years old he should be learning to be polite and talk properly to you. You are going to have to not give in to him, even if he yells his head off or you are going to have a lot more problems with him growing up. Stop the spoiling now before it is too late.

Time to let the little boy know he is not the boss. Tell him when he is naughty a privilege such as cartoons or playing will be taken away for a while until he knows how to behave.

I don't really understand what your question is.

Are you concerned that he's not speaking?

Are you concerned because he's acting out?

With the speech problems, it's time to seek help. My son was the same way. At three he didn't have the vocabulary that he was supposed to have, but I was told by friends that it wasn't a concern, so I let it slide. At 4 he went to pre-school and at that time the teacher expressed concern over his lack of vocabulary. I went to a speech specialist and he was indeed delayed.

We set up meetings and he got the help he needed. This is a good time to seek the help of a speech therapist.

As for the tantrums, he's 3, it happens, but he is old enough to have boundaries and to learn that there is a certain behavior expected of him. Discipline is key.

Have him checked out. The playing up might come from the frustration of not being able to express himself.

He's three.. take him to a specialist and find out why he is having problems with his speech.

Cherish these years... they go by fast.
