Worried about how much my son speaks. He is almost 3. He can name most things when asked what they are, will inform me he is tired or hungry or if he wants something, can recognise emotions “mummy’s angry!” etc, will say “I love you” will sing lots of songs he knows, knows the alphabet and colours/shapes, can count well, there is very little “back and forth” conversation though. If I try and engage him in conversation he basically just repeats what I say parrot fashion. “Are you enjoying that DS?” “enjoying it mum”
sometimes if I say “what is the dog doing?” as an example he will say “dogs running!”
I know every child is different but with my DD we were having full on detailed conversations well before this age.
Does his speech sound typical for a child his age or would you be concerned?
