#asktheexpert My daughter Is 3 yrs old and she does speak yet. Basically we feel she is reluctant to speak as she sings, slokas, rhymes and want us to repeat after her. At times she answers to questions like what is your name, what is your father's name but she would want us yo repeat it after her. We keep trying to train her, but she cribs/ cries to avoid answering. Is this normal, will she take more time to speak properly. Another major issue is, she does not use her teeth to chew, she only gulps the food, thus we are forced to mash the food, else she throws up the food due to indigestion in the midnight. Several attempts are made from our end to train her on chewing, but she toes not give eye contact to watch us while chewing. pls help
