delayed talker?..

[arjeeh]

well this is also a concern for my youngest who is turning 2 this december. she can only say 6 words to be exact. other than that either she points out things or she's saying things that only she can understand.

the thing is we ALWAYS talk to her. She has a 3yr old sis na sobrang daldal naman for her age. Actually we were expecting na our youngest is more madaldal kasi most of her actions are coming from her big sister. I dunno how come she didn't end up like that.

well, based on what i read sana nga when she turns 2yrs old magsilabasan lahat ng kinimkim nyang mga salita hehe. I'm not that worried kc on the other hand, she's such an active girl. mas malikot and brusko compare sa panganay namin.  We wouldn't know she'll be the most talkative..

[ice_]

My daughter is 2 years and 1 month old already.
Nakakaintindi naman sya but hindi pa siya nakakapagsalita ng sentences. limited lang din ang words na alam nya like SHOES, MOMMY, DADDY, NO, TWO...

Any advice how to hasten her speech skills? hindi naman namin si bini-baby talk and we always talk to her...

I'm so excited pa naman to hear her points-of-view. haha

[ushushbie]

nako, ang anak ko. tamad din magsalita... pero nakakaintindi na siya, nauutusan ko pa nga e. haha! yun nga lang yung words niya mahirap pa i-decode.
mag bbirthday siya sa dec. sana before ng bday e medyo maayos na magsalita 

[mami violy]

sis try nyo kausapin ng mas madalas yung mga babies nyo, kahit kapag lumalabas kayo tanong nyo lang sa kanila ano yung mga nakikita nyo or asked them to sing sabayan na din ninyo. kapag nanood ng tv wag hayaan na sila lang manood sabayan din nyo tapos konting tanong tapos kapag may katahan sabayan na din ninyo para sa ganun mas ma boost yung inter-action nya at masimulan yung pagiging madaldal nya

kapag naging madaldal naman handa nyo na ang mga sarili nyo na di kayo patulugin kasi madami pa syang kwento LOL it happens to me

baby ko 1 & 3 mos. na pero wala pa rin sya nasasabi. sometimes sinasabi nya mamamamamama or papapapapapapa pero never pa nya ako tinawag na mama. tska puro huni lang at turo ng turo pero napansin ko naiintindihan naman nya ako kasi kapag pinapaabot ko yung dede nya inaabot naman sa'kin. ngwoworry na din ako kasi baka late na para magsalita sya. May share lang ako, I think wala sa kung maaga magsalita o late na nagsalita para maging matalino ang bata. kasi may pamangkin ako mga 2 1/5 yrs na sya nung nagsalita sya pero ngayon at age 5 he goes to prep school, he knows how to read, magaling sya sa spelling, marunong sya mag-internet, mag open at shut down ng pc, magyoutube and next year grade 1 na sya. hanga nga ako sa batang yun kaya sabi ko sana yung baby ko kahit maging late sa pagsasalita maging matalino naman.

[babysuitcase]

my baby is 2yrs 2mos, ang tamad din nya magsalita. Naiintindhan din nya mga cnasabi nmin, nauutusan. Pag [textspeak!] [textspeak!] nya magsalita. Hay ewan ko we are not so worried nman kc matalino sya, yaw [textspeak!] tlaga magsalita. Kinakausap nman we tried n isalamuha s mga bata pero tamad [textspeak!].

sabi nila dpat daw d maglaro ng stuff toy kc mtgal magsasalita, e anak ko lagi kiss at d makatulog pag d katabi si teddy bear o si mario. wag din daw kiss sa iba mas baby s kanya kc wait daw magsalita [textspeak!] baby bago sya magsalita rin.

[mickey08]

My son is 3yrs old. Until now di mo maintindihan pag nagsalita. Mas marami pa syang sign language kesa sa words. Before pinacheck up ko sya sa pedia nya I thought maigsi yung tongue nya and yung chineck inde naman daw late lang daw ang speech nya. Kaya tinatiyaga na lang talaga namin syang turuan magsalita kaso minsan ayaw nya ng tinuturuan sya... Malamang pag natutong magsalita to tiyak na madaldal kasi ngayon pa lang madaldal na sya wala ka nga lang maintindihan..
Based sa mga nakikita ko late magsalita ang mga boys..

[sweetjen]

maganda rin kasi na ineexpose ang bata sa mga tao. yung mga nagkukwentuhan na tao hehe
minsan kasi di ba, working parents, naiiwan lang ang bata sa yaya.
if ever na ganun ang case, siguro encourage the yaya to talk to the kid, play with them, ie magtuturo ng bagay tapos sasabihin kung ano name etc.

[lalei]

Hi Ladies, Makikisali din ako. Actually nag-start ako maging concerned nung 16 month old si Kimi kasi konti lang talaga nasasabi nya at slang pa.  Mostly actions sya makipag-usap. We speak to him regularly in at least 2 languages (Tagalog and English sometimes Serbian by my step-dad in law). 

I will raise the issue with the maternal and child health nurse for his 18 months check next week hopefully may suggestions sya ng way to go forward. He understands instructions very well at madali naman utusan. 

In the meantime, mag-tyatyaga muna kami mag-decipher ng gusto nya sabihin.

My eldest was speech delayed @ 3 years old sobrang konti pa ang words na nasasabi niya, he was diagnosed na at risk daw for adhd kaya nag-therapy. fast forward na, he's turning 8 na ok naman na siya wala ng stuttering at super talkative na, sabi nga ng mga teachers niya ang tagal daw mag-catch up    kaya lang minsan sa syntax nagkakamali pa din 

[proudmama]

my daughter turned 2 last august. problem ko yung yaya kasi i've been telling her to speak to my daughter in english kaso limited lang alam niya kaya and medyo matigas siya magenglish kaya yung anak ko nagiiba yung pag-pronounce dun sa mga words. i tried to correct her pero syempre mas kasama niya yung yaya ng matagal because i'm a working mom. mas nag-aact pa nga pag may gusto which i don't tolerate pag nasa house ako i tried to make her talk. di pa siya nakakabuo ng sentence puro one word lang like dede, babath, sleeping, smell bad. ang ginagawa ko na nga lang pag wala ako tell ko sa yaya laging buksan ang tv sa disney playhouse para matuto :

[marssie]

hehe natawa naman ako sayo sis naalala ko kasi baby ko, ako kasi bisaya din ako pero maayos naman ang pagbigkas ko kasi tagalog naman nakalakihan ko salita. kaso yung word na wait, wit talaga niya kung bigkasin, niloloko tuloy kami ni hubby

Delayed talkerdin ba ang baby ko? kasi for me parang okay lang naman for his age (kasi naiintindihan ko siya dahil kami lagi mag kausap ) 1yr & 10months siya, di pa rin siya nakakabuo ng sentence, so far eto mga alam niya sabihin at malinaw niya nabibigkas :

mama, papa, lolow(lolo),rice, kiss, no, yes,bye, truck, tata (tita), get, eyes, nose, lips, up, cars, (di ko na maalala iba) but the rest puro dulo na ng word, like baba- ba, ligo - go, mcqueen-kin,  embrace-race,bilis-lis,thomas -mas, mickey mouse - mouse, etc.. hindi ganon kadaldal son ko, like other kid na nakikita ko na ang daming sinasabi pero di mo na maintindihan kung anong sinasabi. Siya naman, pag nagsalita alam mo kasi may kasama action at yun nga nasasabi niya dulo ng word 

Lagi ko nga siya kinakausap, at never ko rin binibey babytalk. Pero sa ngayon di naman ako nagwoworry kasi feeling ko parang normal lang sa age niya na ganon pa lang ang nasasabi..

[bjgem]

yung anak ko mag 4yo na next month...delayed talker din yun..pero she's a good listener, hindi lang kame nakapansin nun pati teacher nya sa school..tamad nga lang daw talaga magsalita pero "hyper" ha..naiintindihan nya kame, sumusunod sya samen...iisipin mo na wala sya pakialam pero sobrang naiintindihan ka, hindi ko nga inakala na magiging ok sya sa school eh, ang objective ko lang naman kaya pinasok ko na sya sa nursery eh para magkaroon ng exposure..hanggang ngayon hindi pa sya ok sa conversation..

[che73]

My youngest is 2 years 2 mons old na,although delayed din ang speech nya,nakakaintindi naman sya ng instructions.Di naman ako masyadong worried,ang ayaw ko lang e yun ikinocompare sya sa ibang ka-age nya na matatas ng magsalita!

[renaeh]

pano ba masasabi kung delayed talker ang isang bata?

[angel-kat]

yung daughter ko, before she turn 1yo, nagsasalita na.. a few months after talagang naiintindihan na ng ibang tao ang mga sinasabi niya at matatas na magsalita parang maliit na matanda daw    In short, madaldal  hehe hindi namin siya baby talk..

pero yung bunso ko, 2yo na (just this Oct 1) hindi pa masyadong nakakapagsalita...
Ang mga nasasabi lang niya ay :
   'sa pa = 1sa pa
    la na = wala na
    ilong = ilong
    hok = buhok
    darty = dirty
    meik = milk
    cook = coke
    kek = cake
at mga mama, daddy, nay, tay, te, tata and others na almost one word lang...minsan naiintindihan mo kasi nagkukwento siya with action 

sabi ng mga in-laws ko, ganon daw yun pag lalake matagal magsalita....In our case, aside from being a boy, minsan inuunahan siya ng ate niya like pag pinabibigkas mo sa kanya ang isang word, makikipag unahan ang ate niya

my baby's 17 months old. she doesn't really say a lot and that's really how she is. she takes her time with everything and i don't want to rush her. as much as possible, i also don't want to compare her with other kids coz iba-iba naman talaga yun development ng mga kids, right? hubby and i are also both working so our baby spends most of her awake time with the yayas. we don't really encourage the yayas to talk to her in english - mahirap na coz i feel that it's going to be harder to correct the pronunciation later on if mali yun nakagisnan. also, a benefit is that she learns both english and filipino. 

[pie06]

My mom-in-law and our maid watched on the TV that one of the causes of delayed talked to kids is because of early exposure sa TV.  Kaya I remember na possible nga din na ganun kasi kinukwento ng mom ko na nung baby pa ako iwan lang ako sa harap ng TV ay behave na ako and yung nephew ko din ay mahilig sa TV.  2yrs old daw ako dati nagstart magsalita while yung 2yrs old nephew ko very limited ang nasasabing words.  Never kaming nagbaby talk sa kanya and lagi pa nga namin ciang tinuturuan to utter simple words.

I have a 2 yeal old son who is delayed when it come to his language, so far he can only say "dyadi" for daddy, no, ang hi nia "ei" sabay wave ng hands. Others are puro baby talk or babbling na or with actions na. If he likes something, he drags me or pointing out what it is. As in no particular words. When he call me nga he says "Nyah".

Well one factor siguro why he is delayed is that most of the time ako lang kausap nia and sa bahay lang kmi, then [textspeak!] naman sia gano nakakalaro maliban Ate nia. When he's with other kids, he prefers toplay by himslef though sometimes, nakikipaglaro din.

I already seek a speech specialist, they did check uo and a test to to him like talking to him or asking him to do something, they even check his tongue kugn me problem, wala naman... as in well responded naman sia which im proud of it naman.

When it come to his understanding, obviuosly walang problem, No problem din naman sa auditory nia kasi he can hear well talaga.

They suggested me to enroll him into a early intervention program (specializing in encouraging to talk or do their language) or let him join into a playgroup school para mas ma socilaize with others.

Pina check ko just to make sure nothing is worng with him talaga. Maybe he's just taking his sweet moments pa before he talks na talaga. A lot of moms said to me na most boys are delayed when it comes to speech compared with girls. Anyway he's 2 yrs old and 3 mos pa lang naman, so I hope in a couple of months magsalita na talaga sia ng diretso...

hey there... i posted earlier, saying my almost 3 yr old hasn't spoken a single sentence then.

fast forward to now, he's uber talkative.  he now makes up stories about thomas and friends, he asks a lot of 'why' (like 'why do we sleep and then we wake up?' and 'why do birds fly' and 'why do we stop when it's red?')... i didn't do anything for this, but hubby and i just talked to him like he's a regular boy... eventually he kept up, and now even if we want him to shut up (like when we're just about to sleep) he keeps on talking!
