I got more information about "speech delay" from this video than my 4 year old's school's therapist. Thank you!

Happy to hear this =D

@@AgentsofSpeech My son is Now 4,5 years old. He has speech delay, he is still one year back in speaking and I am working on it. He can make sentences upto 8 words. But still has problem with "i" you, his, her. He can concentrate when i give him tasks. But he can not concentrate in groups in kindergarden. I Mean he do not join in Activites in kindergarden. What can i do at home to learn him? When i read a story first Day he listen, Second Day he tell Me title of the book and can tell My about the people in the story but not completely. But if i read same book maybe 3 times in same week he tells me much more than Day one. He is social, but stil i have to push him look there is a child over there go and play and he does. What can i do to help him speak on his age, he is still one year back. Will he ever cath up? If i give him a pichture he can only tell me about the pichture, if i push him to do it like What is this, and I point in pichture. He does not tell Me by himself at all. Is that normal? In kindergarden they ask him What did you do in your weekend he only answer i have been on playground. He can not explain. At home when i ask him where have we been today, he tells me. And I have to ask him more question one by one about details and he is able to tell me, i feel i can push it out of him. But he can not tell by him self. Is that normal? If i look back 1,5 year he has developed a lot. Speech therapist only came twice in 6 months and give us parents advices in kindergarden. She said she can not do more because he has developed and stopped comming. And I have seen many videos on KZbin as inspiration in beginning not Now. Bacuse i did not find anyting that matches My child Now. I Hope i could find someone who coukd guide me, anyway When i AM at work i only think What can i do with him today. I feel i am lost in ideas. In october he Will be assesed if he can go to school, still i have 5 month. I feel the time is running. I Hope you will answer Thanks in advance

My son was delayed in speech at 2 years old, I tested him for nutritional deficiencies, he was low in choline. I’ve been supplementing with choline vitamins and his speech has improved since. I read it’s related to speech

[@RV-rj1tb]

Hi we are vegetarian and my son is speech delayed i am doubtful if its because of nutritional deficiancy because no one is autistic in my family(but i am waiting for assessment its along wait) and he was born 2 weeks after due date and he has good motor skills..can u please tell me if your son responded to his name/ followed instructions/ any sensory issues or had any other symptoms other than speech delay..It would be extremely useful to people like me if u share more about choline deficiancy...Thank you..

This video has helped me a lot. Sometimes I change some parts of a story, for example I say little green riding hood instead of red, or I tell her she finds a fox instead of a wolf and this makes my daughter try to correct me and that's how I help her to form a new sentence. Now she can say new words and say some longer sentences, there's still a lot of work to do though, but I'm amazed how much she learned in a few weeks.

thanks for this helpful video! My son is 5 year and 4 months, he has only "yes" and "no" words, he babbles a lot and mimics actions and sounds sometimes when prompted by toddler songs on youtube, but he doesn't form words by himself, he won't say a word by himself. We taught him sign language since 1 year old, he knows gestures like eat, drink, but he only uses them out of blue or when he is really hungry or thirsty, otherwise, he will grab food or drink or grab our hands to get it. Almost like, to him, language is not a tool for him and he doesn't need language at all. He doesn't pay attention to learning speech or reading or listening to story, he only likes non talking kids cartoon or songs. He just doesn't get it, and it has been like this forever. We keep on talking to him, which does help his understanding, but he just doesn't have a word and we really don't know what to do. Very little improvement or response to our help or speech therapy. I would really appreciate if you could let us know what could be wrong, and what is going to be our next step or help him. Thank you so much!!

Hi Ming, Thankyou so much for your video. My son is 3.5 years old and we live in Germany since 5 yrs but we are basically from India so at home we speak Hindi to my son and in kindergarten they talk in Deutsch .we noticed my son is not speaking well he only says the key words or some time. Ann..ann..ann if he can’t express . When he was 2 .5 years old people said not to worry as multilingual kids speak late but now he is 3.5 and we see little improvement in words charts but that’s not at all enough for a 3.5years old and coz of this we realise he has not many friends in kindergarten and when I see him he is mostly not talking to other kids just playing with them’ Also another imp thing we noticed when we ask him to repeat something like say A for apple B for Ball etc he don’t repeat after us instead he says something else or he goes away from that place . He just says the 2,4 keys words he doesn’t use joining words. This lack of talking leads to his frustration 😢 Our Pediatrician tell us to wait till he is 4year old but my mother brain is worried and doesn’t want to wait . Kindly guide❤

[@bandanachetry1357]

He needs help mommy , I have a similar situation we live in Canada and my 3.4 year old just talks/understands English and we are Hindi speaking household, i was told my the doctor that he is lacking behind because he is not a language rich household, my son was exposed to excessive screentime too , since past 4 months he doesn’t get any screentime, I spend most of the time playing with him , talking as much as we can even if he doesn’t respond for eg if he is jumping is would say “Oh Ivaan is jumping, let’s jump “ replacing questions with statements, this has helped a lot , also reading stories, now my son is keen on communicating with me speaks more words and repeats after me.

You have explained what can be done at home so well.. My daughter is 5 and I am working with her on parts of speech, sentence formation, answering questions. She is progressing well, but it will be a long journey for sure. The SLP says that my daughter's receptive language is good but she is lagging in the expressive language part. Can you please suggest how long it takes usually for kids to be on track?

[@AgentsofSpeech]

Nearly impossible to answer that question, every child is different and it's a long journey for most.

[@laliju]

I have a special case. My husband and I don't speak the same language and we live on a country where neither of us understands the language. I speak Spanish to my daughter, my husband speaks danish to her and I speak to my husband in English. Because of work schedule sadly my husband couldn't spend much time with my daughter and now she's 4 and a half and we can't find a speech therapist where we live that speaks either Spanish or danish. This video really helped me the last week to encourage my daughter. We thought she was delayed because of the languages and that she would eventually catch up. But she stills struggles to communication. Even though we send her to a danish kindergarten, all the kids speak German as well. I just would like to know if sending her to a class after kindergarten (let's say for example gymnastics or dance) that speaks exclusively danish will help her develop her speech or will it be harmful? I hope you can answer. I'm honestly desperate, I really want to help my daughter.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

Then your child is speaking English or German now? This is quite a special case... I would say that if your husband is not available now, leave the Danish to him. But if he's still not available, then bringing her to a Danish only class is viable but expect it to be super hard on her... It would be best if the husband goes to that Danish class with your daughter (I know this might be impossible). So my conclusion is, you can try first and see her reaction.

this is a hard one. you might look into what's "selective mutism". At the root of it, there must be a reason why he's not communicating at school. Be patient and slowly ask him about it, it might be anxiety or other reasons. You can also seek help from counsellors.

[@笑咪咪的盒子]

Hi Ming, thank you so much for your videos and they are so important for us during this trying time. I have a 4 year old girl. She didn’t speak until she turned 2 and 4mo and we started to see a speech therapist when she was 2. The therapy last 6 months since she started to talk normally and she went to preschool when she turned 2 and 9mo old. She’s been talkative as she grows up. I’ve noticed that she has some pronunciation problem. She can’t make /l/ sound correctly, instead she says /n/ or /y/. For example, /luck/ she says /nuck/, /umbrella/ she says /umbreya/. Also /th/ sound, she says /f/. For example, /think/ she says /fink/. I showed her how to place tongue to pronounce the sounds and she’s tried really hard but barely worked. Should I keep her practicing or should we see any professionals? Really need your advice and I really appreciate! Thank you!

[@AgentsofSpeech]

Hey, your best bet is to find a speech therapist to understand why she can't do those sounds... In the mean time, try if she can do the /l/ sound by itself. And then see if she can do it with simple vowels like /la/, /li/, /lu/ if she can't then you already have the level you need to work at. btw, for /th/, if she's 4, it's still fine... just keep on telling her the difference between /f/ and /th/. it's a hard sound to master - not all kids have it by 4, or even 5. So relax haha

You should start off with a very simple story retell, telling you what happened at school a little too far away for her to be accurate. And you wouldn't know if she was right or wrong either ya? So try telling her a simple story from a book, and then tell her to try and retell it to you. You'll see how much she picked up and understand her language a bit more.

Say we went to the park.” He’ll say, “we went to the park.” And then I’ll say “yaaay!!” And tickle him. The next time I ask, if we went to the store, I’ll say, “say I went to the store.” Sometimes I think he just doesn’t remember what we did because I can see him thinking about it and he will make up something.

[@bbell2172]

Hello Ming! My 4 year old (April) is extremely talkative. He loves asking us about our day or what super power we would love to have, and we have long lovely conversations. His comprehension and sentence structure are great. I work with him with phonics and his alphabet daily and I noticed he can’t pronounce his letters K J, it comes out as a “d” sound. As well as the sounds J G C K CH. Should I just continue working on these specific sounds daily? It’s almost as if he’s having trouble using his throat for his G and K sounds. He’s not 5 yet, but my concern is, at what point to I get him professional help?

[@AgentsofSpeech]

Hey Shell Bell, so your son has a "speech" problem, which is to do with his ability to say certain sounds correctly. When a child says the /k/ and /g/ sound as [t] and [d] then we call it "fronting" this is an error that is rather common and should disappear at around 4-5. Where as the other sounds, that's actually what we call "deaffrication". It means there's no that friction sound when he says it and that's why it becomes a [d] or [t]. So I would say that it's best you seek some professional help to see WHY he's unable to make those sounds... It might be he doesn't fully comprehend and understand those sounds. OR it might be that he's not physically capable yet to create those sounds. Therapy largely depends on his reason behind his errors! Hope this answers your question. If you need more help just ask =D.

@@AgentsofSpeech thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it. We have a consultation in a few weeks. I’m hoping it clears up with age and that these are fairly common speech problems. Better to be safe than sorry.

My 3 year old don’t speeak clearly and put lots of gibberish and mainly says yes or no to any questions I ask him. He was home without mingling for 2 years due to COVID and has longer screen time i worked night and my hus worked day so limited conversation in household. He does have Eye contact and does interact well with others ( not antisocial) and understands most of what we tell him. would say simple sentences like what is it? But can’t hold conversation.. he is impatient/ and has temper tandrums (but won’t last long)mainly banging his head but no meltdowns.. he lines toys thats all I am seeing, but I am not seeing echolila or stimming on him does it still possible he might have mild autism or speech delay due to covid?

[@AgentsofSpeech]

if it's autism, it cannot be due to covid. delay on the hand, it might be from the lack of interaction

Hi Ming. Muskan here. My daughter is language delayed. She has started repeating what I say. But she is not able to respond to my question. If I ask her question she repeats the question. Kindly help what should I do. Awaiting eagerly for your reply.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

If she just started to copy you, your aim shouldnt be to teach questions answering. BUT to get her to use words herself for specific objects or activities. Like if she wants you to hug her, she must say "hug" herself without any help.

[@Muskan799]

[@norsakinah2563]

Just asking. The way you explain can be use for kids 5 years old? A child that know & remember some word that learn at kindergarden? But still can't understand what he saying..

[@AgentsofSpeech]

well it really depends on the "language age" of your child and if your child is the case of a language delay or disorder. So it's hard to answer this question actually... If what you described is true, then he probably isn't able to link meaning to the speech sound.

[@dancingbears539]

My 4 year old speaks Cantonese and English, he cant pronounce F R L ch sh or J sounds which makes him hard to understand, he’s very smart and does kindergarten work books and loves play dough . Should I look at zoom speech class for his babyish accent? My other son always spoke very clearly.

[@dancingbears539]

Not pronouncing ch sh and j has made his Cantonese VERY hard to understand. And he can’t pronounce his own name in English or Chinese (Arlo James, he says Aw-woah Ames) and his Chinese name (Jer Ding-lye he says oo dwing Eye)

[@AgentsofSpeech]

you really need a speech therapist to go through the sounds, understand why it's wrong and give appropriate treatment for that. It sounds like, you child has a speech disorder, go get an assessment even on zoom, if he's compliant!

Also, when she speaks fast and want to tell many things, sometimes she uses S instead of X in some words (such as in affixable, she says affiSable). Is it normal for her age?

Thanks for the video. My daughter is 4. She has been watching a lot of youtube videos like cocomelon etc. She says everything the videos say. So she can count, know the colors, shapes ect. However, I have been having an issue getting her to understand things that are not on the videos. I am having problems getting her to relate to me and others. she does not talk in sentences. just single words or sometimes 2. however, if it's 2, it's something she memorized. she never got to go to school and she is an only child. because of covid, she is kept to herself. we have an assessment date for October 14. i don't think she is autistic. i think she likes being a baby and thinks that babies dont talk. she is not fully potty trained because of this and she requests diaper (by saying 'diaper) when she wants to number 2. are there any tips that you can provide to help us?

The issue of speech delays in the USA 🇺🇸 Comes from too much 💉 vaccines . I’m a very interactive and very funny and patient as a parent . I act with all the passion in almost all aspects with my kids . My daughter just turned 4 . She can count from 1to 100 and above , Can read and sing all the nesery songs , has a perfect pitch in piano . But refuses to construct a sentence on her own or will just go away when ever it comes to conversational plays . And even gets very upset when you insist . I repeat : The 💉 vaccines they administered to them should be at a more older age because the effects can’t be the same for every kid .
