my DGS is nearly 2 and a half and still barely says a word! he understands everything you say to him. He loves books and is read to all the time by all the family plus he looks at them on his own too. We talk to him and encourage him but he communicates in grunts, ooohs and ahhs but not words. He rarely even says 'Mummy'.
I wondered if any other Grans have had any experience of this delayed speech in their grandchildren (or children for that matter)? both my own children were talking pretty early.
My DD did ask the HV and she said not to worry until he's 3. Any feedback/ experiences would be greatly appreciated. I feel it must be frustrating for him not to be able to communicate properly and I must admit I am a little worried about it.
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
Awwww, he is so happy to see me…..
