Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Ok, so is almost 3 and he can speak, but does very little independently. (unless it's number related!) I call him my little myna bird because he will repeat absolutely everything that comes out of my mouth (over and over) or he will repeat all of the same phrases that he associates with an object (ie: on the potty: you done?, finish going, go peepee)and he doesn't say them for any seemingly particular reason other than he heard me ask or say the phrases at the time. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestions on helping him along with more communication on he own rather than just mimicking all the time. I try to do " conversation exercises " with him by providing him with the answers to questions (ex: whats your name? My name is )and I'll ask him throughout the day. I just was wondering what else I can do for him. It gets so frustrating sometimes b/c I wish he could/would just talk to me. Sorry I know that sounds terrible, I'm just having a tough time b/c my 18 month old dd is chattering up a storm and actually speaking in sentences to me, so I'm having a huge reality check and I don't really like it! Sorry just a little vent. Thanks in advance to any help you guys can give... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
