Hi,
My daughter is coming up for 2 and only says the basic: "hiya, mama, dada, no and yes" I am feeling so pressured right now by my health visitor, my nan and my in laws. All of them have asked me "why isn't she talking?!" Well hell on earth do I know?
My nan has also commented that "my children were talking at __ age" like it's some kind of competition. I'm feeling so upset by comments all the time. Even my own dad has told me he thinks she doesn't say a lot because I don't interact with her enough. This is not true.
She understands so much like when I ask her "can you pass me your coat?" Or "where is mummy's keys?" She knows exactly what I've said and will pick them straight up!
She definitely is not hard of hearing because she can hear things so clearly. I'm just worried that something is wrong, a friend suggested autism to me, but I take her to a toddler group 3 times a week and each time she loves socialising with the other children and is far from shy!
I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar?
She also does not say sentences like "where mummy gone?" Etc...
She just tends to talk in a made up language that makes no sense and basically babbles with the odd word here and there.
