SPEECH DELAY/ BEST ADVICE I COULD GIVE

[@iamlb3197]

Thank you for this video!! Feels good to know you are not the only person going through it. My son is 4 and has a speech delay. He is soo smart and understands everything but can’t communicate back. And like you said you want to get frustrated and compare your kid to other kids but I have to remind myself not to. Watching your videos really does help, thank you!!

[@stefaniekristine1072]

I’m going through this right now I feel so alone thank you for the stop comparison tips

[@shelbydanielle8017]

Thank you for making this. It was very encouraging. I have an almost two year and we are going through speech delay stuff right now. It’s very discouraging at times. :/

[@DrakesNest]

I can totally relate! It gets better once you get into a routine with it, best wishes! Xx

[@taylerphillips7855]

Thank you so much for this video! So glad I came across it. My son is 2 and has a speech delay. Currently in speech therapy and we are already seeing improvements! You’re right, google has a lot of “words” that could worry you. Just have to keep moving forward, watch, and help him progress in the best way he can.❤️

[@DrakesNest]

Yes!:) I know how hard it can be but staying positive really helps so much, best wishes!:)

[@taylerphillips7855]

Thanks, sister! ❤️

[@sharoncredico8606]

Thanks for this video and for being so open about your family's journey with a speech delay. My son is 2, and was diagnosed with a speech delay at his 24 month check up. He just started speech therapy today. We're still at the beginning of our journey, but it's comforting to know we're not alone. It feels so overwhelming, and your advice means a lot. Thanks again for being so open.

[@DrakesNest]

Sharon Credico I remember when I was in your spot and wishing their were more people on this platform talking about it, so I’m glad my video helped. Best wishes to you and your son! Xx

[@thekoiponds]

by the end of this year my kid will turn 24 m.o.. i'll do anything i can to make her talk..hope she won't have speech delay. anyway you guys motivate me a lot. thanks!!

[@meyathegem]

Hearing you say these things were so relieving. It's such a major confirmation to what I've been constantly praying about. Thank you so much for this video of encouraging words. May God continue to bless all of our children.

[@MariaYvonne]

Thinking of putting my almost 3 year old to Montessori school, he’s speech delay. Probably says around 15 words, no sentences. He goes to regular daycare twice a week but I found a Montessori school that can accept him for twice a week. I’m hoping it doesn’t make him frustrated from not able to communicate as much. Is a small, new school as well. 😩

[@CookingwithAfton]

Thanks for the advice my son is 3 years old and he don't talk and the tantrum is so terrible he hits a lot he break my Phone,TV,IPad dishes ect not sure what he has cause in my country here in Guyana they don't have any Dr to formally diagnose him hopefully by year end I can take him overseas to see what help he can get it's so stressful for me I'm a single parent but I'm trying my best I also put him in a special autism school cause the normal school say they can't handle him he also do speech therapy twice a week.

[@DrakesNest]

Cooking with Afton sounds like you doing so much for him already!:) best wishes!

[@turtonjenny7071]

Thank you for your lovely advice, our son is nearing 3 and still not talking. This has reminded me to stop ignoring the issue and start the process of intervention. Many blessings x

[@elizabethd2468]

Thank you so much for this video! You said somethings that I can use with my little guy. We are more in the swing of getting him help and I feel more overwhelmed now than I did before.

[@DrakesNest]

I know how overwhelming it can be in the beginning. It gets easier, best wishes xx

[@srtaberry]

Hi thanks for the update. It's so comforting to find others who are going through the same thing. People assume that learning language is easy. I now know that it's tougher for some, but if we just keep swimming (as you say) we will still get to the destination. Yay! Also I'm curious what are some of your son's strengths. I think it's important to celebrate what they can do and not always focus on what they can't. Finally, I totally sympathize about your decision to homeschool. Lately, I've been realizing how challenging it is to find a place for kids that don't follow the mold. Anyways just wanted to share! Thanks again!

[@DrakesNest]

He’s so good at building and puzzles...he def has a creative but also very mathematical mind. Every kid and personal has their own unique strengths:) best wishes xx

[@zem190689]

i really needed to see this video today. thankyou so much. i can relate to everthing you have said. my son is 2.7 years old and has a speech delay and it's very worrying sometimes. he has got a place in speech and language group and i hope to see improvements.

[@DrakesNest]

That’s great, once I started classes with my son I saw the most improvement. It’s a lot of work but it pays off! Best wishes:)

[@thekoiponds]

i love your tips and videos about speech delay!! my kid is 18 months and i will do your tips on encouraging her to talk..hope i can prevent her from speech delay. wish me luck!

[@DrakesNest]

Hope they help!:)

[@lilbfly02]

I desperately needed this message today! We’re at the beginning and it is so scary! TU for sharing Cullen’s journey!

[@DrakesNest]

Best wishes ♥️

[@MD-ge8pe]

Just teared up. Thank you for this video! I have been going through this with my toddler. He’s three and I’m trying my best to get him into a headstart where they will help him with his delay. Glad your son is doing amazing!

[@karlamaria8208]

How is he doing now ???

[@koenahamese1462]

Hy i can see its 3 years since you posted how is your kid now... i have a two year old whose struggling

[@kessangnima8472]

thank you so much . i have 3 .8 months old son his name is dgedhun jungnay and he is non vocal. we took him to all the places to find out the solutions. he is a very fun loving child. he loves to run around . and loves watching his cartoon channels. he goes to school also but unlike other kids he never had any meltdown for not staying in school in fact he loves his school. he is a very shy boy . as a mother i was very sad to see him getting delayed in all the milestones but now with time i am fine with it and yes i have stopped comparing him to other kids. i know he is smart but he takes little longer time to get there. we are working on his speech and i know he will reach there soon or later. best wishes to all the families who are in the same boat and may God bless your child.

[@DrakesNest]

Kessang Nima sounds like how my son was, and he always went at his own pace and still does haha but he talking a lot now! Best wishes xx

[@ebtisamlutfi2955]

How is your son doing now in his speech?

[@babbiicee311]

Thank you so much for this! My son is 4. We have been through 5 different speech therapist so it's super frustrating. I've shed many tears. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

[@DrakesNest]

Glad it could help:)

[@ashlouw5350]

Thank you for your awesome videos and your just a mom but the kind of person I would want perspective on things. It always pops up at the time when I need that something to make me stop and ease up on things in my mind. I do over think things a lot and I need to pull the brakes on that by taking it one step at a time and moving. Lots of blessings to you and your son

[@DrakesNest]

Thank you that’s so sweet. Its totally a mom thing, we worry about everything! Believe me I get it!:) best wishes!:)

[@twochoi23]

Thank you! Thank you! I’m so glad I’m not alone at this. Every KZbin you’ve made about speech delay on symptoms and advice has helped me feel less stressed. I have 3 year old twin boys who are both currently going through a speech delay. Watching your videos have helped me to be prepared to consistently teach my boys step by step with patience. Especially potty training. ❤️

[@DrakesNest]

Linbin so glad they have helped!:) keep doing what your doing it all pays off!:) best wishes with your twins!:)

[@Rarehouseplants]

Thank you for your advice and sharing this video that I can show to my husband. My son just turned 6 this month and he has been diagnoses with autism. He is verbal but speech delay.

[@2-xtreme424]

Thanks you for this video!!! It honestly has helped me alot, I have been so worried, frustrated, stressed, and afraid about my 2 year old. Especially after going through the wormhole of google and seeing and reading everything it literally had me freaked out. But this video really just helped me take a deep breath and think better, clearly and more positive about my own situation with my daughter. Thank you!!!!

[@DrakesNest]

So glad if it helped!:) always feels good to find people and situations we can relate to:) best wishes

[@Bales007]

New subbie! We are working on getting into speech therapy after our doctor finally agreeing his speech is delayed. This really is super helpful.

[@raphaelapalacio3831]

Thank you for this video.., this helps alot. im going thru same situation with my 2 toddlers, they both have speech delay.

[@JanethJ]

My youngest is 18 months and when we went for our 18 month check up I was concerned because my son dosnt really speak . He use to say mama but totally stopped . So his dr just recommended some books that are good for reading to him in a daily and if in 3 months he don’t have any improvement I have to take him back in . I’m glad I came across your channel because it honestly makes me feel more at ease that things can get better. Hoping my lil one improves in his speaking

[@DrakesNest]

We are always worried as moms!:) best wishes to you and your son xo:)

[@medicinemanrx2694]

Hey, I’m curious how things are now with your son, we have the same issue with our daughter. She is now 18 months, she would say mama and dadda but now she doesn’t really say that anymore. She understands everything we tell her, but as far as her communicating she only points/gestures.

[@anabelsuarez2465]

Thank you so much for this video♥️ I’m going through the same process with my tolder . I’m very worried sad is just a mix of emotions. Some nights I can’t sleep just thinking and worried about him.

[@DrakesNest]

I can relate!:) moms always worry! Just keep moving forward:) best wishes! Xx

[@javeriaharoon7957]

Thank you and prayers for you and your family.

[@jaydun328]

Thank you. My son is now being evaluated for the speech therapy program. Thanks for the help. I would like to share my wife and I found out the local elementary school where we Live offers support and early intervention services for children with speech delays for free. Assessment and classes. We chose to go with a private company but I doesn’t hurt to check out your local elementary school.

[@DrakesNest]

Yea totally! Check out all your options!:) best of luck:)

[@sahradegan7768]

You are amazing .i am gonna share with my friends my child is three not talking yet but getting services and will start next week.

[@DrakesNest]

That’s awesome best wishes!:)

[@Mariumscookinglifestyle]

Desperately waiting for this video

[@jessicacurtis4426]

I’ve just come across you channel. So awesome! My 2 year has speech delay & we are just now entering early interventions. With no offense just another first time mom with so many wonders, what did advisors tell you when he was being evaluated? Like how did they know it was just a speech delay vs autism? Again, just very new & curious...no one is reassuring us of much at this point but I realize we are very early on into this process. Thanks so much!!! Love your channel btw

[@DrakesNest]

They didn’t know if it was autism or just speech I in the beginning he just obviously qualified for intervention. We never got a formal diagnosis that young, I wanted to wait until he was alittle older...that was just a personal choice. Most of what we were worried about “spectrum” wise went away as his language got better and better...obviously every situation is different tho. Best wishes xx

[@tjgonzales2385]

Ahh omg thank you so much

[@DrakesNest]

Yay so happy it helped:)

[@fabulousjayb4768]

Thank you soo much for this video 😢

[@timbucktoos6093]

In summary what you are saying is to consult a Speech Therapist and not to compare your child with other children (that's what I understood going through your 6 minutes video)

[@blessedbolorins545]

I just watched your boho names video and the comments are disabled so I just wanted to make a comment here since I can’t there: I’m surprised the name Autumn isn’t on the list at all; that’s my daughters name:)

[@DrakesNest]

I know there is an issue with KZbin right now and commenting:/ sorry! The name autumn is in one of my baby name videos I believe...such a gorgeous name ❤️

[@18jhayne]

Thank you! It’s already gettingh overwhelming for me that my in laws are pressuring me and my child. He’s still babbling words and can’t form sentences. We don’t have the money for a therapist so I’m really trying my best to teach him words. I hope to get through this soon.

[@DrakesNest]

We didn’t have to pay at all for speech therapy usually after being evaluated if your child qualifies your services are free:)

[@bunnyrabbit9654]

Same! In-laws suck

[@bunnyrabbit9654]

Not ask the time, but on this topic.. it's a lot of unnecessary pressure!

[@sahradegan7768]

I am new to your channel . can you plz add writing tips . thank you so much i love your channel.

[@DrakesNest]

Working on that myself hehe I’ll def do a video about that!:)

[@hewangizawmoreda6482]

Thank you for you advice its really great.my son is 3 years and 3 month. He was started speaking early and he completely stop.now he is not asking what he want he just doing by him self.he has no problem with hearing and some times he is doing what we order him.now he is very interested with ABCD and numbers.he knows them and spell. He learned all from KZbin. What can you advice me.thank you

[@DrakesNest]

I’m not a professional so don’t want to give any advice in that way but I’m a huge believer in early intervention so if you have concerns talk to your pediatrician and maybe they can recommend evaluations for speech therapy. And just talking a lot at home, talking slowly, describing pictures in books…:playing simple games. Anything like that helps:)

[@monborek]

Great advice.👍😀

[@MikeJones-ox1zf]

Hi, I'm new to your channel and I was looking at your other speech delay video and I am worried about my daughter. She is 30 months and she understands everything we say, she does pretend play and a lot of other things but she doesn't put words together...she says words by themselves but she also still babbles A LOT...should I be worried and should I take her to see someone. She is very smart she just isn't putting words together and I'm worried cuz people say oh wow she is 2 and a half and doesn't put sentences together...well my kid was talking at one and a half or two. Thanks so much Jami (a concerned mother)

[@DrakesNest]

Hey, so just remember that every kid is different and every kid learns at a diff pace. Also every speech delay is different...it can’t hurt to mention it to your doctor...I promise speech therapy isn’t scary and doesn’t mean something bigger is wrong...she may just need alittle extra help and time... and early intervention is free so that helps hehe best of luck!:)

What specialist did you use to diagnosed him with speech delay? Thanks

I talked to my doctor who recommended a therapist who specialized in that. Once they confirmed speech delay I then worked with a diff speech therapist one on one with him:)
