How do I...?
My son is 27 months old and is very frustrating. He doesn't say more than 10 words and when he writes his letters he will scribble over them when you tell him that was a good job. He has been evaluated by speech therapy and they just said he was delayed in expressive speech and advanced in receptive speech. And yet he ignores me all the time. How do I get him to talk more and accept compliments. He is very smart, I just wish he would talk more. I am afraid that people will not see what he can do because he doesn't talk. I have tried with-holding what he wants until he at least makes a sound in order to get it (except for food or essentials) and he just gives up trying and cries. Right now his vocabulary is shrinking because he has stopped saying words he used to. His words include: mom, amma, cat, om (some), ball, book, tad (leapfrog), lay (clay). He can say his alphabet phonetically but not actual letter, he knows his numbers and can read the words he says. Please help.
my daughter is 27 months old too and I am going through the same thing. My problem is that she is saying things but nothing like what they are suppose to be.2 examples green is da. Santa is Onka. She also recognizes the letters because when I ask her whats what she points to the correct answer. My dr told me the same it takes time. I was a toddler/preschool teacher before I had my daughter and I just remember the kids that were talking sentences of 4-5 words at 20 months and all I can ask myself is if my daughter is so smart and advanced as the dr's and therapist say why is her language so hard to understand. I finally came to the conclusion, it just isnt her time. What I have found useful although it can be rather annoying to another person in the same room is noise games. games that use loud and soft tones of the voice. once my daughter understood loud and quiet I started doing different sounds like animals or simple words first quietly then loudly. Once he discovers his voice youll wish he was quiet again:) patience lots of patience, thats the only advice I can give.
