Greetings mam My neighbor kid 3 years old. He is yet to speak and say one or two words? How long it takes him to speak

Ans: Children should start speaking bisyllable words by 12-18 months and joining words to form 2-3 word sentences by 2-2&1/2 years. This child needs to be evaluated for a hearing impairment. Too much screen time ( mobile phones, tablets or TV) is an important cause of delayed speech in children nowadays. Hearing evaluation followed by speech therapy is my advice

My grand daughter has completed two years, but is still unable to speak in sentences. she mostly uses single words. Is this normal? I am worried because most children start talking by the age of one. She is always surrounded by older family members as we all live in close proximity. we all talk to her throughout the day, but her response is mostly in single word. Her mother had an attack of covid while she was in the seventh month of pregnancy. could this have any affect on the child? Please advise

Ans: By 2 most children speak 3 word sentences or atleast join two words. If she is having a lot of screen time that could lead to delayed speech. I would advise you to visit an audiologist to first screen for a mild hearing disability. Once that is ruled out, speech therapy can be started.

Question by Amit - May 19, 2023Hindi

Health

Kind attention Rediff Gurus : My 2 year old son clearly speaks Mummy and Papa but struggles to talk/utter other things. We are also not able to understand what exactly he wants and then he starts crying badly. Does he need any medical attention. My elder son started talking when he was just 1.5 years old. Kindly suggest

Ans: When the language does not develop in time,the child develops other alternative ways to communicate.
Since the child has a behaviour of crying to get the things, it is a clear indication that child s behaviour is unknowingly getting reinforced by providing the desired items. Start with the labelling of things by giving him appropriate words so that he understands that he can use the words instead of crying.
Also monitor how much screen time is being given to him.
Development of language happens only when the child has the pre-requisites , check that too.

Health

My son is 2 years 2 months old. He weighs about 11 kg now and is pretty active. We are worried about his speech delay. He is not saying any words. He is only blabbering and trying to make sounds like 'appa' 'oooo' 'abba' and 'mamama'. He screams and says nothing else. We have shown him to a peadtrician, ENT and psychiatrist. They say it's normal. We have also done BERA test and result were normal. Doctors have advised us to reduce screen time for the baby and train him at home. As prescribed by doctors we are giving him omega 3 syrup and Iron supplements. Is there anything we are missing out on? Should we be worried? Is there any other specialist that we should consult. Kindly guide us.

Ans: Screen time for a 2 year old should be zero
Read stories to him, show him charts and books with single words with pictures. No tv too even during meal times. No mobiles or tablets at all
A speech therapist will be able to help

I am btech graduate and have good industry IT experience in development in TCS with 15 lpa, but parents pressurized to take government job , and i got a government job of junior assistant at pay level 3 but i am not liking the job as there is no respect and our senior ask to fill the water bottle , i want to switch to IT for my future? Still i confused?

Ans: I am quite surprised - "our senior ask to fill the water bottle". Simply deny doing that. Do your work seriously for which you are paid. Give departmental exam for promotion. You can prepare yourself for Indian civil service exam. Do not leave Govt. job.

Career

I am 58 + years old who retired from government service after working for 36 years. I had done M.E mechanical and worked in the marine field. I am a pensioner who is financially sound and with no liabilities. I have a good fitness routine in the morning as well as in the evening , however I find it difficult to pass my time in the day and want to make it meaningful. I am done with my existing skills and keen to learn some totally new concepts and acquire skills specially in areas such as sustainable energy specially green hydrogen, solar , ethanol blending , EV etc. I may like to become a consultant or maybe start my own small venture in future to keep myself busy. I am ready to devote ample time. If nothing works out atleast I would have acquired knowledge in areas which interest me. How do I go about acquiring the new skills.

Ans: The best way to acquire skill is to see NPTEL videos. Its free. If you want certificates then you have to give exam. Cost is very less. Normally professors from IITs teach these courses and you will get certificates from IITs.
