Question
My child is already three years old, but his language and motor skills seem to develop slower than other children of the same age. I’m worried about his delayed cognitive development. Are there any suggestions or methods that can help him?
Answer
Before diagnosing delayed cognitive development in a child, a comprehensive examination by a specialist doctor is necessary to rule out any potential physiological issues. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital’s pediatric health care department for a follow-up examination, including a physical examination, to confirm if there are any conditions such as hypothyroidism, chromosomal abnormalities, or other organic diseases. In daily life, you can interact more with your child and read storybooks to them, which can all help promote the development of their intellect.
