Just a quick question does a speech delay affect other primary areas of development such as social, understanding etc?

sorry if it’s a silly question didn’t know who to ask

Why have you cleared out all the baby books? The kind with about 10 words per page?

One of the delights of young children learning to speak, is having those favourite stories over and over again. They love the repetition.
At the start of speaking, the adult reader pauses before some significant word and the child fills it in from memory. A little later, the child delights in reciting the memorised story word for word as the adult turns the pages.

Bears in the Night is probably imprinted right through me like rock.

We had over 300 books so we cleared out some that are literally for babies and we kept the rest, we also allow him to go to the store and buy a new book a week, the books we have given away are for children who are much smaller so one word per page.
