Toddler

There are many reasons why they don't speak much - not feeling the need to talk (if caregivers "spoonfeed" his needs and thoughts), being exposed to too many languages (hence unable to process which word or language to express his needs), developmental issues like speech delay etc - or sometimes it could simply be because he's not ready yet! Every child learns, grows and develops at their own pace, so we cannot really determine much based on what other kids are doing. What I listed above are all suspected reasons of why my son has isolated speech delay, it was diagnosed through a development assessment! If you're worried, speak to your PD/nurse at the next routine checkup and get referral for child development units to do an assessment :)
