Speech delay signs in kids

If you have a toddler and you have been listening to this quite often that your child is not speaking properly and if you got him checked for speech delay, this post is especially for you mama. Speech delay signs in kids are a prevalent issue nowadays so,you are not alone.

First thing, don’t worry and follow this guide to find out if you really need to get alarmed or not. This is true that all kids grow and learn at different rates. There is a general timeline but not a set rule for any kid. Accomplishing milestones is an awesome thing but if your kiddo is meeting them, then you don’t need to worry about anything. But if your toddler isn’t achieving milestones even after weeks and weeks, then you should definitely talk to your doctor about language development and speech therapy for toddlers.

Maybe there is an underlying problem, but not the speech delay and visiting doctor can make sure there is nothing serious going on. Some kids are just slow in talking and they love baby language, whereas some are fast and similarly some kids make proper sentences, but some find it difficult.

I want to add one more thing here, for premature kids, the milestones schedule is totally different and most kids learn slowly but that’s normal. I always insist on one thing, being a mom, if you think there is something not right, you should talk about it.

Have a look at the following speech milestones your kid should achieve at different age groups and if you think he is behind them and shows any of these following speech delay signs, go talk to your doctor.

Let me tell you that all of these Speech delay signs are just an idea and not 100% exact. I am not a speech therapist but my kid had a speech delay and I have dealt with it so I know how it feels. Speech problems in kids is a widespread issue.

If you think your kid is not matching the above-mentioned milestones, you should check with a speech therapist, start speech therapy at home, or with your doctor because it’s better to be safe than sorry.
