All children are unique therefore there are no obligatory, standard terms in stages of their development. Someone begins to turn over, sit down earlier, to go. Someone in incomplete year already rather surely utters separate words, and someone and in two years remains a taciturn person. It is quite normal and natural. Nevertheless, if the delay too big, to parents just right to prick up the ears. And when the child to whom on age just right to go to school, did not even begin to talk, here it is even clear to the people, farthest from medicine: he should be treated.
Instruction
1. You need to understand that requests, entreaties like "Well, tell though something! Repeat after us such word", and already especially shouts, reproaches, punishments, you will achieve nothing. Only it will be worse. At the child already for some reason the strong unwillingness to talk was created, and such "methods of treatment" will only aggravate current situation.
2. Surely show the child to the qualified children's neuropathologist. Use the best efforts to get to really experienced, knowing expert. In advance be adjusted on the fact that treatment can be long-term and difficult. On doctor's orders make MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of a brain to check whether the speech delay with the tumor pressing on the site which is responsible for normal functioning of the speech center is connected.
3. Also take away the child to the experienced logopedist. Will not prevent to show him and to the psychologist. Inquire about the expert in advance. Try that with your child qualified professional, but not the graduate of the bred courses worked with a minimum of knowledge and unreasonable self-conceit.
4. Attentively analyze own behavior, a psychological situation at your place. In medical literature cases when imaginary dumbness of the child was a consequence of constant psychological pressure, for example, at asocial behavior of one or both parents are described.
5. If you almost do not communicate with the child, and other children (for example when the family for some reason lives in solitude, practically without contacting to strangers) do not play with him, at your kid the lexicon could just not work enough. You speak with it more often, tell about everything that surrounds it, about with what you are busy now. Try to make so that your kid communicated with peers more often.
