Answer
Every child has a different timeline for language development, with some speaking earlier and others later, which may be related to family environment and educational methods. It is recommended that parents interact with their children through play and teach them to speak while observing for any abnormalities in their development in other areas. If there is concern about the child’s language development, brain-boosting foods such as whole grains, fruits, fish, eggs, and dairy products rich in vitamins B6, K, as well as calcium and magnesium can be given. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination early on.
