POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy12 months agoA. At 19 months old, it's common for some children to have limited speech but still understand and communicate through gestures. Here are some things you might consider:
1. Speech Milestones: Many children start to speak more clearly around 18-24 months. They might have a vocabulary of 10-50 words and start combining words into simple phrases.
2. Encourage Communication: Continue to talk to your baby regularly, describe what you're doing, and encourage him to use words by naming objects and actions.
3. Interactive Play: Engage in activities that promote language development, such as reading books together, singing songs, and playing interactive games.
4. Hearing Check: Ensure there are no hearing issues affecting his speech development. If you have concerns, a hearing test might be helpful.
5. Consult a Specialist: If you're concerned about his speech development or if he’s not making progress, consulting a pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist can provide guidance and support.
It's important to remember that every child develops at their own pace, but seeking advice from a professional can provide reassurance and help if needed.
