Just looking for advice from anyone please. My little boy is 20 months old and he’s my first, so other than google I’m at a loss really with what to do. Would really appreciate anyone’s help and experience x

i don’t think it’s a speech delay, but I notice his friends similar age say more words or two word sentences. This is everything he says so far, though he doesn’t say them daily other than hiya and bye:

Roar
Oh oh ah ah
Ssss
Yeah
Dada
Bye
Mummy
Why
Hiya
Baby
Woof

hes very headstrong and active, literally won’t sit still so it’s very hard to try and get words across. I try to read 3 books to him every night but he often runs away after half of one. I try to say everything out loud as he’s playing. Just looking for any advice anyone’s got please xx

How does he score on the communication section of the ages & Stages for his age? You should be able to find the scoring cards easily online Wink
