Some children starts speaking at the right age while others starts speaking a bit late. If your child also has the same problem, do not worry, wait a bit.
Speaking problem in a child is a kind of developmental disorder in which the child is unable to understand and speak words from the starting. In such cases, the parents should not worry, instead they should wait and if needed, consult a child specialist.
According to doctors, a 3 years old child can use nearly 1000 words. He can pronounce his name, call ithers by their names, can ask questions, can sing songs, poems, etc. 50-90% children of 3 years age can speak properly.
If the baby do not murmur till 2 months of birth, this could be the first sign of speech delay. Till 18 months, most of the children can utter world like maa, dadi, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to keep an eye on the verbal speech of the child. For this, you need to keep few points in your mind.
If your child is 2 years old and he could not utter even 25 words, this points towards speech delay. If the child is 3 years old and can not utter 200 words and is unable to call anyone by name, this also points towards speech delay.
