I would talk to your paediatrician about your concerns. Friends and family are not experts (or even if they are sometimes it’s hard to objectively see a child that you have a personal relationship with). Early intervention makes such as huge difference as the brain grows so much before 3 years old. So many people put off getting their child evaluated thinking that they will eventually catch up. Many children do catch up but there are also a small percentage that end up with various diagnoses. Early intervention at this age is fun and games so even if there end up being no underlying concerns, your child will have fun and develop skills faster than he otherwise would have so it’s a win win. Good luck mama!
Should I be concerned ????
my son was born 5/10/19. so he’s 16 months. I am concerned with his development although everyone around us tells me not to be. I know you shouldn’t compare children, but I’ve also studied early childhood development at a point in time. but anyway, he doesn’t speak, at all, just some ahhh, thaaa, & saaaa eeeee. he doesn’t wave at anyone, not point at anything. he points his finger to poke the other one. he claps, he’ll smile at you sometimes but doesn’t make honest eye contact nor really pay attention to you or what you say. he runs around the house all day, but stops to tilt his head to the side before he takes off, spins in circles with his head titled. screams. doesn’t attempt utensils nor will he be fed with them, he doesn’t hug or kiss. he doesn’t try to copy me or repeat anything. he scratches everything he can. I wasn’t really around kids growing and my daughter was so different and by this age she was saying short sentences and signing. should I be concerned?
