Question

My daughter is two years old and still cannot speak. She often refuses to move. What should I do?

Answer

It is recommended that parents give their children opportunities to speak, such as when the child wants to grab a cup, instead of immediately handing it to them, encourage the child to express their desires verbally. Parents should regularly provide opportunities for their children to speak. The stage of oral language expression for children is between 12 to 24 months of age, and it is important to train the child to express their needs actively. This requires parents to be patient and guide the child, trying to encourage the child to speak more, and when the child speaks well, give them extra rewards. Guidance: Parents should interact more with their children daily and talk more. Some children may speak later, so parents should try not to speak loudly to the child.
