I used to face the same problem with my child. She used to observe everything but wouldnt reply at all or reply in a single word like ma or pa. I was extremely worried. However, after attending school(Orchids the International, Bangalore), she has improved a lot in communication. As, they make the kids listen to stories and also conduct a truckload of activities that encourage children to communicate well.

I hope this info helps others. My 6 year daughter was having tough time in speaking.. She could barely speak, and whatever she could, it was not clear. I Consulted many doctors in Mumbai but there was no improvement. Then one day my office colleague informed me of Dr. Pragati Jain, who is a Speech Therapist & Audiologist at the famous DR. LH Hiranadani hospital in Powai, Mumbai. I booked appointment & went there with my daughter. Dr. Pragati was very humble & polite. She did some detailed analysis & enquired information regarding my daughters speech right from her birth. After examining for almost 20 min, Dr. Pragati told me that my daughter can be cured. Dr informed me my daughter needs to take therapy sessions for about a month, which would happen on alternate days. I was not sure if this doctor would be able to help my daughter, as many other doctors had failed. However, after some discussion with my office colleague, I decided to take 10 days therapy package(got discount on taking package) instead of whole month. 3-4 sessions passed, nothing happened. Dr. Pragati used to play with my daughter with toys, colorful books. I was upset & thought my money & time is getting wasted. However, after about 5 sessions, I was at the top of the world, when my daughter for the very first time called me â€œPAPAâ€. Tears came into my eyes on hearing this word from my little daughter. I canâ€™t describe in words, how happy I was. Went to thank Dr. Pragati Jain. She was humble as always. She explained the root cause of my daughters problem & told me that my daughter would be able to talk like a normal child in some time. One important thing, which she told was not to miss any therapy sessions or to take any gaps. I continued to take my daughter alternate days for about 25 sessions & could see amazingly significant improvements. Its been almost 4 months now, since last therapy session. My daughter can speak very clearly now & its all due to this wonderful magician doctor, Mrs. Pragati Jain. Thank you Dr. I would say, she is the BEST SPEECH THERAPIST in MUMBAI.

My case is simialr to that of Soma Pandey. My son is now 2 year 5 months young, and he does not speak any word at all. he only speak single letters like ma, papa, da and likes, i tried a lot to make him speak, but he never try to repeat what i am saying, and tries to run away from me whenever i ask him to speak. all other developments are normal. he also listen and understand most of the things we say, like if we ask somthing which is known to him, he will bring that, if i give something to him and say "put it there in the kitchen", he will go and keep the thing in the kitchen. he also understand what we say. It must be becoz he stays whole day alone with my wife.he does not hv any hearing problem as he hear even small sounds also. whenever we call from behind, he turns to us. when someone rings the bell from outside, he is the first to notice that. i am from guwahati,assam. please suggest. my email id is dutta.aryaman@g mail.com

language : don't hold back. please expose your kids to your mother tongue as sson as they are born. keep this up for the first three years. make a conscious effort. remember it is a long-time investment in the development of their neural connections - whether or not they pick up the language, this wil help them to develop with richer neural structures, making it easier for them to pick up any language they want to later on. if you and your spouse speak two different langauges, speak your own and let your spouse speak your own. your kid will sort things out in a few months.

good day my daugher is 3yrs 5 months old and she is not yet fluent which is not really my problem 'cause she's improving daily with her speech but my main problem is that she's developing very slow i.e can't play with other children, hyperactive and does her own things at her own time, it looks like she's not interested in what i like her to do like colouring pictures,drawing circles or even to concentrate for few minutes. i've been to several paedatricians and there's nothing wrong medically and they told me it might be psychological problems- took her to the child psychologist and she said my baby is still young to solve this problem and i feel i am wasting her time by not doing a thing right now. what can i do really to help her?

the article relates to subject of speech and the help of the adults in that ragard. but it does not cover the question of selection of the medium of school. it is essential from the point of view of the parents who have completed their education from vernacular mediums and generally people admit their their wards in english medium schools.
