Slow speech in toddlers
Common Questions and Answers about Slow speech in toddlers
speech
His speech is slow in comparison to how his 3yr old sisters was at that age but you can see he knows what you're saying.
I just get so frustrated with him,I don't like smacking my children and am unsure if I should be concerned or just over reacting,would really appreciate some advice and feedback if possible?
s very affectionate, hugs, gives eye contact, reacts to her name (nearly all the time), plays very well with other toddlers, shares toys, loves looking at and playing with other toddlers on swings and slides or will walk into a group of toddlers (we have friends with kids of a similar age) and will play no problem. No tantrums beyond the usual I can't get what I want tantrums but they're not all that common. She smiles when smiled at, laughs.
He sometimes hits it so hard he bleeds or bruises I am very concerned about this. Ive heard that most toddlers hit themselves (which he also does), but I have never seen this. what can I do to stop this before he seriously hurts himself?
However, the title of the original post is what will catch the eye of current posters, so you may get a response. Lyme has many symptoms, different in different people. In the last few days, there were some posts on a different thread about possible problems arising from dental work. You might scan through the posts here and see if it's helpful.
He also puts his own speech together. But there is a difference in his echolalic speech that sounds advanced, compared to his own speech that sounds very immature.
When my son watches TV, if he hears something he likes the sound of, or he wants to remember it, he will leave the lounge and go into the hallway and repeat the sentence a couple of times to himself before he comes back into the room to resume watching the TV.
My son is diagnosed with HFA.
Recently my 3 yr old has been going to a psychiatrist and they gave him clonidine for ADHD, he's on the smallest possible dose! It seems to help slow him down but he's still downright mean!!! He doesnt think twice about pulling hair, hitting, pinching, and even biting. Adults and other children. Most of the time he does it when he thinks he is being restrained or when another child is too close, giving him a look or trying to take something away from him. He is such a bully!!
If he is not hearing his world clearly, he will have a hard time learning how to say words. He may have fluid in his ears or something fixable that will help him. I would do that first. Had he had ear infections or reflux??
s son had only a language delay (said no words and had no language at 25 months), and he spent 9 months in First Steps speech therapy, and by age 3, he was speaking at age appropriate level. But, if he didn't go through speech therapy, he probably would have been behind at age 3. He's 4 now, and got assessed by the school system again, and he's still at age appropriate level.
He will only eat jar baby food and that even has to be in small pieces to where he does not choke on it. He does not chew his food he just swallows it. We tried to blend up chicken and vegetables last night and feed it to him and he threw it up everywhere. We are very stressed out about this and concrened for obvious reasons. Please help! Thank you.
lol but allowing her to continue with the behavior will only make it worse. You have to discipline her a bit more and maybe get her in some speech therapy. My daughter is three and never shuts up. I had to be stern with her and set a lot of boundaries cause she was a brat at two. But is now very well behaved. Every once in awhile she reverts back a bit and can get into trouble but all toddlers do!
I also have a 5 year old but he is every parents dream child has been since birth lol.
On the way to hospital everything slowed down in my mind and speech. I still have slurred, slow, jerky speech and twitching in my upper back when i walk. MRI, CT, blood tests, EEG all clear to rule out stroke or tumour or lesions. I was released with the neurologists saying it'll just go away in a few weeks. Even suggested psych review which again cleared me for any psychological issues. They said they have no explanation but are so confident it will go away. It's very frustrating.....
We had him evaluated for speech therapy via early intervention and we began to see improvement in his speech. The therapist then suggested that he may be on the autism spectrum, particularly because he would spell the words he wanted to communicate to us if we could not understand him verbally. She also mentioned that he tended to "stim?!?" by spinning in circles if overstimulated.
Hi. How old is your grandaughter?? It is amazing how resilient little ones can be! My husband and I say that all the time. Some of the falls, bumps and boo boo's my kids endure would send me crying or to the hospital! Our boys just jump right back up most of the time. So, it is hard to say if what you describe is abnormal or not. Some kids do have an underresponsive nervous system and they don't feel pain like the rest of us and that can end up being dangerous down the road.
I've had problems in the past with slurred speech, but it's mostly just fatigue. Do you have any lesions in your neck?
My son (aged 2) has 3 enlarged nodes in his neck, one over 2inch long and pretruding, and one in his groin. He has seen the pedritician and they have said that 2 in his neck and 1 in his groin are all within the normal limits (although the one is larger than a grape?) the one that is longer than two inches she said was larger than normal but felt ok to her. They did a blood count (normal) and test for glandular fever and told me to not worry.
