Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. proper language / speech development will start between 18 months of age to 2 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 beffore 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
requirement of speech therapy will also be discussed by your doctor

You Should consult an ENT doctor 1st to figure out if it is just a simple delay in speech or there is some disorder the doctor would be able to give you clarity and accordingly if required after that you can go ahead with the speech therapy only if it is required
