Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi All! My name is and I am mom to 2 boys Hunter (5) and Brayden (will be 2 on Jan. 10th). Hunter was a VERY earlier talker so this is something that is new for us. When we took Brayden to his 18 month appointment, the ped asked how many words he was saying. At that time it was mama, dada, ball, car and bye-bye. He told us that he just wanted him evaluated in case there was a problem, we could catch it early. The speech therapist said that he was fine, just seemed not to want to talk. She told us to start doing simple signs with him to cut down on some of his frustration and that he still wasn't talking in a year, to bring him back. Well, it's been 6 months and he now says 2 words (mama and dada) won't even say those other words anymore. He does about 5 signs. He could do more, but I have been reluctant to have him depending too much on signs because I'm not sure if it would delay the talking even more. Any suggestions or should I just wait it out? I will be looking over the posts on here over the next couple of days for ideas also! Thanks so much! in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
