Out DS Is just 2 (last week) so I'm fully aware that he is still very young!
His speech is delayed. Don't get me wrong, he is a chatterbox, and he communicates with us through words, his understanding is incredible, and we are told he is ahead of where the 'norm' is for his age for pretty much everything else but speech.
However he will only speak in 1 syllable words. If a word has more than 1 syllable, he will just use the first syllable of that word.
He has a huge vocabulary of 1 syllable words and half words, and generally has no problem getting across what he wants to tell us (most of the time). He is also starting to put a couple of (half/1 syllable) words together to make a sort of short sentence, but still only using the first part of a word.
Has anyone any experience of this and any tips of what I / we can do to help him a little? I don't want to be too pushy with him though as he clams up and gets upset!
I'm a SAHM , and we do socialise with other children / people.
