hi! my neice who is 3yrs 2 mnths old has not yet started speaking.she utters only a few commonly used basic words in malayalam her mother tongue,could this be a serious problem
Hi, a 3-year-old child speak around 10 words and can make sentence and tell story. If your child is not speaking to 3 years of age than the speech is definitely delayed. Causes of delayed speech tongue tie, developmental delay, hypothyroidism. You should get the child examine by a pediatrician so that above causes can be ruled out. If all things comes normal then child should be treated by speech therapist. Take care.
