Hi I have a 2 1/2 year old child that doesn t say much. He can say no, stop, and juice but if he wants something he will just point say ehhh But he can recite a whole movie and remember everything that they say and do. When he was about 1 1/2 he could count Cleary and perfect, say his ABC s and talk good for his age, now he doesn t say anything and even if he really wants something he still won t say it. For example he would say his age and put up the correct number on his hands but now he doesn t. What do you think the issue is?
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. I can understand your emotions. I sincerely do not see any developmental problem in your son. Some months before, your child do whatever his caregiver says over playful and entertaining episodes and imitate everything. He was not learning, but imitating because his mother was playful, and he liked playful. Now, he has matured, and he likes more of playing his own than imitating. His thinking pattern has changed. He will start doing things when you compel, when you provide rewards and when you appreciate each of his good deeds. A child psychologist should be able to help you. I can help you in this aspect.
