19 months and not talking.

We have my husbands grandchildren aged almost four, and nineteen months, to stay for the weekend once a month.
The younger child appears bright but does not say a single word. Nor does she babble. In fact, she makes very little sound at all. She does smile but her laughter is silent.
Husband has had a word with the daughter in law and she says the health visitor is due soon and she will mention it.
I think that a bit more pro-active action is called for, and if there is a problem, we can start tackling it.
Has anyone else got experience of a child of this age who is almost silent?

I haven't found any offensive posts. Abrupt ones, yes, and ones that might be a little surprising (also amusing when you let your imagination work on them) but that's not the same thing. My own feeling is to cut a little slack and perhaps argue back. I find it refreshing to have a different point of view chucked into a thread, even if I don't agree with it or think it's odd.

OK, but the one on here isn't offensive so why was it reported?

gnhq might well have had words with some posters here, but no-one has had words with me. i look forward to hearing from these mysterious people.

update!

no 'having words' (maybe a little bit of 'be more cautious about...') but several messages of support including one from mysterious beings. smile

Oh that's just not fair! I've been in trouble loads of times and I've never had any words of support from the Mysterious Beings. (That's a good name for them. I like that! smile)

Heh! heh! I like it too. It's a very good name for them, gbun smile. You don't mind me shortening your name, I hope? Saves a bit of typing is all. And then I can rabbit on.... oops! wink
