What was the first recognisable word that your child said? What was the first book you read to your child? Do you think speech delays are common among children? Kalpana replied. I have a big problem. My son is almost three but he still does not speak much. He only manages few words and one or two sentences. What can I do to make him speak normally? I tried many ways to make him start speaking properly however nothing is working. Some body please suggest me a good doctor who can solve my child’s problem. I am really worried about my child. I just want to make him talk properly otherwise it will hamper his academic development
Sowmya replied. If you want your child to speak then you should definitely read to her. Just like how mothers listen to music when they are expecting, you should also read to your child. Then she learns words faster. Also keeping talking your child will help her to take interest in talking. This strategy will help to avoid speech delays and also improve intelligence of your child. Also seek help of your doctor at an earliest if you notice such problems. It is very important to treat speech delays at right time.

Vasant replied. I have personally seen this with my children. My son only started talking after he became two years old but my daughter spoke much faster. I want to know if anyone can tell me why boys have more trouble speaking as compared to girls. I want to find out whether it is caused only in case of my son due a speech delay disorder or it is same in each case of a boy child. I am very confused. Please some body guide me regarding this speech delay disorder. I will be extremely obliged if some body tell me in detail about such disorder speaking disorder. I will be very thankful, please help!
