A child's expression
1.) They haven't started talking yet.
at least 20 words, if not 40 or more
don't wait until the gap gets bigger and they fall behind
2.) They don't try to copy you.
imitation is the single most important skill when it comes to a toddler learning to talk
3.) They're babbling, but not talking yet.
a speech therapist can help you find out that's causing the problem and how you can best help the child
4.) They aren't pronouncing early consonant sounds.
like M, P & B
5.) They aren't interested in socializing with others.
enjoying social interactions is important for their learning new speech and language skills
includes all the ways that they express their wants, needs and ideas to people around them
A child's understanding skills
8.) They don't follow directions they have practiced.
when they're in a good mood and compliant, they need to be willing to follow your directions (sometimes they can be defient)
9.) They don't go get something when you ask.
it shows us what our toddlers actually understand
7.) They don't learn the meaning of new words easily.
toddlers generally understand 10x as many words as they can say
10.) Your gut tells you something is off.
a parent's gut instinct is almost always spot on
