So recently I’ve been trying to get my son to talk more because ehe is almost two and can’t say a sentence or say abc or 123 which I am concerned because I know a few other who had their first child around the same time my son was born so everyone will be turning two between Sept- Nov and I noticed that their child can say their names and count from 1-10 say a lot of things but when it come down to my child he is more so focused on grown up things like he watches what you do so if I go and broom or mop and of course put them away he will go and do the same or if he knows I’m cooking which I put him to watch educational things on the tv he will watch me so the other day he went in the pots and took a spoon put the pot on the floor and started stirring as though he is cooking. I don’t know which way to go about fixing this situation.

When I say situation I mean like trying to get him to focus more on kid stuff then grownup stuff cause when I do all he does is throws a tantrum, he knows what time out is from his older siblings (half sisters) being there so much, he says about 15 words but as far as talking talking he hasn’t gotten there and yes ik not every kid is the same but he will be two so I do believe their should’ve been some type in conversation you know.

I’m a first time mother and his father says the same but when I spoke with his doctor he stated kids should full make sentences by the time they are three which I high doubt I feel like by that age u should be talking more like asking for paper or saying good morning because my son sister which is 3 years old if making full sentences no hesitation she talks like she is 6 years old.

Just trying to figure out what can I do to help my child with his speech besides therapy. Doctor doesn’t seem to think he needs it and in order for him to see a speech therapy he needs a referral.

Any other suggestions? I’m willing to try any and everything and this point.
