Toddler speech and mood swings
Show your support
Our health visitor gave us some activites to work on at home to help develop speech. Perhaps drop her a line and ask if she could send some to you?
@Rhiannon he doesn't do drawing much or any other toy for that matter. He plays with all the toys in his own way. I don't mind that as I like he explores everything in his own way. But he isn't talking or communicating. For example, if I ask him to get the shoes, or socks, he won't do it. But if I show him socks or shoes he will sit down because he know I I want to put them on. Similarly, he doesn't talk but just leads me by my hand to do something, example, if he wants milk he will take me to the place where he knows I keep the bottles. But he doesn't say anything. Not even mama and dada. He won't point either. If you ask him, where is your mama, he won't point to me. I spoke to healthcare worker a few times. She suggested to try a few things including a program called 'may I join you' but I am not sure if it is helping. Also when I ask her if she sees any red flags, she give me very umbrella answer like, 'every child is special, we should mould our world according to him'.
I understand her sentiment but I want a bit more direct answer. What should I do?
@J our healthcare visitor suggested to do the 'may I join you!' Program. But I am not sure if it is doing anything. What should I do? Whom do I speak to?
Do you have a ChatHealth service in your area? It's a parent line that you can text for support. If you Google chat health and your area it should come up. They should be able to offer additional support. How long ago or how often do you see your health visitor?
Does he like doing activities like drawing maybe you could set up a pack for the travel on way to anywhere youre going. Is he entertained at home? Apparently the tonies boxes are supposed to be good and do you think he's kicking off because he can't communicate with you? My son isn't talking as much as other toddlers his age either although his speech is coming along and he's very badly behaved which sucks because I feel like such a bad Mam when I raise my voice a little too much I'm still learning how to keep my self calm when he misbehaves x
