Question

A three-year-old child can only say basic family names, does not like watching cartoons or listening to children’s songs, and parents are worried about whether there is a developmental abnormality and whether there is a lack of opportunities for interaction with the outside world.

Answer

Before the age of three, children’s language functions have not fully developed, which may affect their communication with peers or others. However, after the age of three, they should begin to expand their social behaviors. Parents can create opportunities for children to express themselves, encourage them more, and provide practical opportunities, so that children will gradually recover normal communication.
