Delayed speech
Show your support
Things you can do is practise animal noises and see how long you can do them. Clapping ie el-e-phant. Putting things in a pillowcase is book, ball, doll. A scavenger hunt at home. Blowing bubbles in a straw or a tub of bubbles.
My son is exactly the same, he's 3 at the end of March. His nursery have reffered him to speech and language therapy, I know it's contriversal but my son watches YouTube kids and he can now say the alphabet, count to 10 unaided and say colours, it's the only thing that's worked for him up until now as he's sooo easily distracted by everything and anything 🙈 I also bought him this that he likes playing with and is getting on really well with it, also going to nursery has really helped too as he's interacting with more people ect, don't get upset, he'll get there https://amzn.eu/d/gi6jdxx
Yeah my son was the same, if you feel any concern then bring it up with the nursery &they might say that he needs to speech and language therapy. My son done a few sessions with the nursery with the SENDO &now he’s just he has improved a lot. Also if you’re comparing your child with other children, children develop differently &some develop faster than others.
He could just be lazy because he’s with you 24/7 my daughter is in nursery and at home she rarely speaks or does puzzles etc and won’t stay still for 5 minutes 😂 at nursery she’s naming colours, pointing animals and body parts out. Could you ask someone to watch lo and get them to do tasks with him 3 is still really young and he has plenty of time to advance ❤️
My 8 year old started school preverbal. Socially and academically it did not affect her and she’s exactly where she should be. I’m sure he will be fine. Is he on the waiting list for speech therapy? Has he had his ears tested? I was advised to do some sing sign courses. Also the nursery should use things like makaton or a communication book of visuals to help him. They should also be working on his speech targets as well.
