Question
My daughter is 2 years and 4 months old and she still won’t say ‘mommy’ or ‘daddy’. She doesn’t say anything at all, and when she’s happy, she makes many incomprehensible sounds. When she was 2 years old, we consulted a pediatrician, who said she has some developmental delay, a year behind the normal growth and development of children.
Answer
In this situation, it is recommended that parents take their child to the otolaryngology and neurology departments of the hospital for detailed examinations to see if there are any organic diseases. Additionally, a child’s late speech development could also be related to the family environment and parenting style. Parents can communicate more with their child in daily life or enroll them in early education classes to train their language skills. The above suggestions are for the question ‘What should I do if my 2-year-old girl still can’t speak?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
