Hi
my little girl was rather late to start talking. She had little to say until she was about 20 months. Now she has just turned two and talks in little sentences, so she has made marvellous progress. But I read different 'milestone' guides that say things like 'child at two asks questions'. Now my sweet baby does not ask any questions as of yet. She also confuses pronouns a lot. Eg will get my shoes for me and say 'here are my shoes' (as opposed to 'here are your shoes').
When she was 20 months and not talking I considered speech therapy but as she made such rapid improvement I decided not to worry (against the advice of a speech therapist, might I add). Now I am wondering if maybe she does need therapy. She seems really smart and I am sure her language will come along on its own. I am just wondering what other mum's experiences are: perhaps these particular milestones are a little ambitious?
