A. Hello parent! Does your child talk a little or not at all? Does he understand whatever you say to him? If not, then this is a matter of some concern. First of all, try to keep him away from any kind of gadget. And everyone kept talking to him. The more you guys keep talking to him, the more he will try to talk. And that's how he'll learn to speak slowly but surely.

A. proper language / speech development will start between 18 months of age to 3 years of age. there is no need to worry before that just concentrate on the diet and regular interaction with the child. also speech and language develops properly with more people available to interact with the child avoid usage of tv mobile and laptop because they are the most common reasons for delayed speech and language development. the most important thing is that before speech, understanding of the commands given by the parents should be present. by 18 months if the child is not following basic commands then only you have to meet the doctor for speech asnd development assessment. requirement of speech therapy will also be discussed by your doctor.

A. Hello dear parent, you should speak to your child a lot and in a very clear tone so that he understands what you are saying and would imitate as he would grow up. Interacting is the key. As that really helps baby to learn more and quickly. Good luck and take care
