Question
My child is two years old and still won’t talk, only calling out ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’, what should I do?
Answer
It is advisable to have a thorough pediatric examination. Since the child can say ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’, it should be normal. Generally, boys tend to develop their language centers later, usually around the age of 2.5 when they can speak more fluently and become very talkative. It is recommended to engage in more language interaction with the child and consider subscribing to baby magazines to promote the child’s language development.
