Question
Hello, my child is almost three years old, but he still cannot speak and does not know how to walk. At the same time, I notice that his occiput is indented about 5 millimeters. He often likes to suck his fingers, and it seems that he does not understand very well when communicating with him. Are these issues related to his occiput?
Answer
A delayed language development in a child may involve mild intellectual disability and abnormal brain development. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible, to rule out congenital diseases (such as cerebral palsy) and other possible issues. Check if the oral organs are soft and if there are any problems with compressed brain tissue. Early treatment is crucial.
