Hi all. I’m completely new to this, so don’t understand all the abbreviations.
My son will be 2 in March and I’m concerned over his development with his speech and understanding. He barely does the baby babble and if anything he hums to himself more than anything.
Myself and his mother try our hardest to sit with him and read or play with his toys but he just doesn’t seem to be all that bothered. He is very active and has been walking since he was 9 months old. He is only interested in eating the same food he knows and won’t use anything other than a bottle. We have tried various other cups and foods but he’d rather go hungry and thirsty.
People keep telling me that “he’ll get there” and “he’s just lazy” but I’m finding I’m getting frustrated now running out of ideas.
The only thing that does hold his attention is the TV. We have to limit the time it’s on but use it when we have household chores so he’s not trying to climb on the kitchen table.
Am I right to be concerned or should I just keep trying??
Sorry to ask if it seems stupid but any help is very welcome.
