Re: my 4 year old not talking well HELP PLZ

hi.

when i was about 3 or 4 years old i was the same. i never talked i just made sounds but after a while i grew out of it. there may not be anything wrong, you just gotta keep encouraging yours to try and talk but i think you just might need to give it some time.

Hey hunni,

Yes you where closer to 4 before speaking! We had taken you for hearing tests, speech therapy, and also gone to many specialists. You made sounds and grunts to communicate and i think most of it was laziness but when you did speak it didnt happen one word at a time it was 3-4 words at a time. It just could be becuase they are lazy and not ready but all means i would go and see someone about it but in some cases like this, it just  took it time. If you are wondering if kippa was delayed in school or intellegene well NO a A/B student. Im the other sibling and i spoke normal age and i very excelled as much as kippa.

I would be playing 'deaf' until he asks for what he wants or tells you with words!  Had to do it with our 4 year old too, and have to keep reminding her she has a tongue! lol.

Hi,

Have you discussed the problem with the day care?  If you ask the person in charge of the room your son is in, she will be able to help.  Explain to her the strategies that the speech therapist has recommended and ask for these to followed through out the day.  Day care staff are normally happy to co-operate with you and  this will reinforce the need to communicate to your son.  Often children just find it easier to gesture rather than think about what they want and use the appropriate words. 

My son required speech therapy and we found he improved dramatically when everyone around expected him to try to say his words clearly.  We played dumb a lot of the time and pretended we weren't sure what he wanted.  We asked him questions until he came up with a clear verbal response.  We can't shut him up now. lol

Good luck, it sounds like you are on the right track but these things take time.
