A. Okay so this is a common thing to be seen now what you need to do is you have to tell your child okay I’ll do something for you only if you start speaking I’m not going to work with your gestures you have to actually provoke or encourage your child to speak I know sometimes it’s going to be very difficult because the child may cry at the end of the day but if you will do this regularly your child would want to speak what they want because when parents do things easily with the gesture they become lazy to talk
