Hi mums/parents,

I have a 21mos old daughter, she speaks but not words, she speaks but not understandable is it also considered speaking? I already talk to her pedia but the doctor said there’s nothing to worry about, that she is still young.

-she said “daddy” at 7mos old but now seldom
-stands at 6mos and walks at 13mos
-she has good eye contact
-looks when you call her name though it will take time especially when she is playing
-smiles, clapping, mimics what she sees,
-good at puzzle toys

Concerns:

• she doesn’t play with other toddlers
• she bites, scratches other toddlers recently
• she doesn’t share her toys
• she doesn’t speak words
• shows no interest when teaching body parts, ABC’s she will just look at me and laugh

Her friend same with her age can now speak clearly, I know every child hits their milestone at their own time but should I be worried or I am just pressured seeing my friend’s child talk?

Get a second opinion, you mention a paediatrician, if you live somewhere where you can get an opinion off a speech therapist then that would be ideal.
