What's wrong with a two-year-old who can't speak?

After a child is born, parents are very much looking forward to the child calling mom and dad, but the child’s speech has a lot to do with the child’s development. Many children still cannot speak when they are two years old. This situation makes their parents very anxious and they all suspect whether their children have physical defects. Whether a child can speak or not actually has a lot to do with the environment around the child. So, what’s wrong with a two-year-old child who still can’t speak?

Generally speaking, children will start speaking at around one year old, and some can speak as early as ten months old. Some children who speak late will generally speak 15 months after birth. If the baby still cannot speak at the age of two, the reason may be related to the baby's living environment, especially the surrounding language environment. The development of children's language ability, like the development of other abilities, depends not only on physical maturity, but also requires appropriate external conditions. Among them, interaction with adults is the most critical factor.

From the moment of birth, children are directly exposed to external stimuli. Although the child is often asleep in the initial days, when he is awake, if the parents communicate with the child frequently, talk to him, smile at him, and play with him, the child will gradually become familiar with the parents' words and will show great interest in their language. Although they are still reluctant to speak, they can understand what adults say, and their occasional pronunciation can carry the tone of a complete sentence. This shows that their language skills are indeed developing, but because they don't speak, this development is not manifested.

What worries parents most is that their children still don’t speak until they are two years old. At this time, parents can’t help but think that their children are sick. If a two-year-old child cannot speak, it does not necessarily mean that he is sick. It may have a lot to do with the education provided by the parents and the environment in which the child grows up. At this time, parental care is very important, and parents must talk to their children often.
