Name: Editor Subject:  Trouble Speaking? A few children have trouble speaking, and some may not start even after they turn 2! Why does this happen? 1. Does your child respond to other environmental sounds? 2. Does your child have difficulty forming words and sentences? 3. Did your child learn to sit, stand and walk at the appropriate age? 4. Most importantly, are you and your spouse spending enough time interacting with your child? Try out some tactics to help your child! 1. Speak to your child in simple sentences about whatever is happening around her. 2. When speaking to your child, speak at a slow rate using pauses at appropriate junctures. 3. There should be consistency in the formulation of your sentences. 4. Read to your child often, from a story book. 5. If you feel your child still has difficulty grasping the language, speak to her in one language only, for the time being. Make sure your other family members do the same. Does your child also have speaking problem? How do you help him? Share with us! reply now
