hi ,my son is 2yr old( he just turned 2).He doesn' t speak a lot. When i read any book or sing any song, he reacts with those. Sometimes i don' t say the last word and fills the blank with the correct word, but can' t say it perfectly. He sings ABC song, though he can' t say all the words,but he is perfect in the tune...He shows me the water jug when he is thirsty, pulls me in the kitchen when hungry. he follows simple commands.But he is not talking. He says mamma, dadda, but never address us.
i' m really worried about this. i read lot of articles and follow their suggestions. it really helped me but recently i noticed he never does any eye contact with poeple. If somebody say ' hi' , he just ignores, he doesn' t even look at them. He is a ver very active boy..never sits in one place. Is this because of this or something else ? People are saying he may not be able hear other' s voice, he only can hear my voice and reacts with that. but he responds a lot with music and his favourite TV shows.
Please help me. I have scheduled appointment with doctor , soon we' ll find out . But i' m really worried...
thaks a lot komal replied. hi madhumita
plz dont b depressed. every child is unique and takes his time to speak perfectly......mine started talking at 1 and half and now he speaks perfectly he is 2 and half now. so kust wait, b patient........he will talk.let him see rhymes on tv... repeat the cd again and again and 1 day u will find that he is uttering those words....b happy.....it sounds absurd that he can hear only ur voice........if he can hear urs then he can surely hear everything........and some children r introvert and that might b the reason why he ignores people.....give him some time
