Granddaughter doesn't talk yet

Yep it's completely normal. She's still a baby.

My brother was very late talking . Mum took him to the doctor who told her to talk less and give him a chance!!!!!!!! It was the 50s. She'll get there.

Until she was almost two, one of my DGDs had her own language in which she made eloquent and meaningful speeches. She obviously knew what she meant and I wish we had! Of course she eventually started speaking fluent English and nowadays is proving to be pretty good at French and Spanish.

Our DGGS is three in July and has only just started to string odd words together. He is very bright and I think sometimes he just can't be bothered. He started going to nursery after Christmas and I think this has helped him. Other children needed him to talk to them during play so he had to. I know it can be worrying our DD wasn't a quick talker but once she started there was no stopping her and still isn't!
Children do different things at different times sometimes which is quite usual.

I think "Yes" is the short answer. She sounds perfectly normal to me. The important thing is for you and her parents to be talking to her all the time about everything. She'll be absorbing it all even if she isn't saying much herself.

I think you are!
Don't worry, does she understand when you talk to her? Does she recognise people, concepts, simple instructions (even if she chooses to ignore them!)?
She hay be having truly deep and meaningful "baby talk" conversations with herself for all you know
It is so tempting to "compare" progress, but every child is different and I am sure her developmental checks would have thrown up any problems.

Give her a chance! She's not two yet! My DD1 didn't talk much until she was two. She studied linguistics at uni and is a very very good communicator.

I think you are worrying unnecessarily at this point.
