Speech delay in kids

 Having a baby is a great blessing. Most parents enjoy each and everything that a baby learns with the passage of time yet they get worried if they find their child is getting slow in learning something. speech delay is one of the most common problems that children are facing these days. 

When do I have to worry about my child if he is not talking?

It is normal for under 2 years kids if they do not start talking but if they are two or more of age then it's time to get a little bit worried about the speech of your child.  

Reasons for speech delay 

* it can be inherited from the mother or father side. I have observed many cases in my own family that some children started talking very late but when they began to speak they were speaking just like a normal child of their age. 

* excessive screen time is one of the big reasons for speech delay among children. 

* lack of interaction is also the main reason for speech delay.

*deficiency of some particular ingredient like Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, or proteins

* physical disability like some sort of issue with tongue, mouth or maybe a hearing problem

* some type of disorder like autism

Solutions for Speech Delay

* increase the time of interaction

*reduce the screen timing

*feed the balanced diet yet increase the intake of dry fruits and nuts like almonds, walnuts, etc.

*give attention to sounds that your kid utters and try to speak the words with the same sounds repeatidly.

*If the problem is getting worse then take the opinion of an expert
