My daughter is 2.3 years old. She is still not talking . She just talk word like baba, mama. she hold our hand to take or ask if she wants anything. If we call out her name she grunts in response. she sometimes blabbers as if trying to make some communication. she has good eye contacts and hugs a lot. Also we have taught her to wave bye bye, hand shake, salute etc and she does it very well. Can u pls guide us as what we can do to make my little on to talk

advice :)

Hi!
All children start speaking at different ages, some earlier and some later. 2.3 years is not the time to start panicking, but a time to:
- take her to a speech therapist to evaluate her talking and see if there's a real problem
- take advantage of all the many speech activities and games available online
If you're interested, I can recommend a really great speech and language therapy center- Hope AMC (http://www.hope-amc.com/speech-therapy-dubai/) I heard that they have an amazing program that helps children like yours start speaking

Hi! It may take time for language to develop but there are lots of things to do now. Your hard work now will pay off once she begins talking. However, if you have concerns, I do recommend an evaluation from a speech therapist to make sure there aren't other things going on besides just delayed

In the meantime, or if that is not an option, I recommend start the following pages for exercises...

How you talk to your child also matters. For some simple suggestions, start here:
