My baby girl is 2yrs4months old but not talking. Let me list the things she does. -she can point to what she wants - can say “I want water” something she learnt from ms Rachel, say Byebye with waving, blow kisses - know her abc, counting, colors. -sing rhymes with actions -she turns when I call her name. -knows her younger brother’s name and sometimes refer to him as baby. - mentions names of object she knows when she sees them like egg, monkey, apple, orange, star She understands when I say she should come, eat , her shoes. She is eating and satisfied, she just shake her head no; meaning she is not taking a bite again. But She can’t answer a yes or no question, not potty trained, doesn’t answer simple questions like; where?how are you?, what is???she sometimes repeat phrase from her favorite shows. Doesn’t say mama or dada. But randomly says them but not to us. Sometimes I feel like I have failed her as a mom.

Wrong board. We are neurodivergent, not educational psychologists.

Maybe you could ask to move this to the SEN board? There are a lot of people there who know about this.

She sounds pretty good tbh. If she was a boy nobody would bat an eyelid, I suspect.

Thanks. I didn't know what the most appropriate board was to suggest.

This project checker would be a good place to start, it sounds like she has good joint attention and understanding which is a good sign.

I think you are worrying too much. Your child is definitely talking.
