My son is 19 months old but doesn't talk yet.?
Answer:
Ok, I will not scare you, but just be aware. Or son didn't talk at that age as well. Look for these symptoms as well..does he interact with other children? does he seem to lose a skill that he previously mastered? look up autism.see if those are signs that you need to be aware of...if not, consider yourself lucky. Autism affects 1 in 166 children and some can go undiagnoised. It's always good to be aware of things..just because you have children that have been just "normal" doesn't mean that it can't happen to you. I wish you all the luck and don't be scared by this, but aware...

it's cause he's youngest. He has some words, he's fine, don't sweat it and DON'T compare him to other kids.
So you compare children? You ARE aware that children aren't interchangable parts right? That just because ONE does something at one stage in life they ALL will? Every child is an individual and each one grows and develops at their own pace after having four children you should be well aware of this.
some baby girls develop faster than boys...mine did! and he turned out to be fine. Don't compare hun...give it some time and work with your angel :)
He is absolutely fine, I have 3 boys and another on the way. They have all been different. i am sure you have heard girls are more advanced than boys...it is true on the majority. They just mature at a much quicker rate. Although my first son was talking and potty trained at 2 and so many otehr blessings but my other 2 have been much later at things. Its okay! he will eventually talk! Remember boys also have less to say than girls.ALWAYS!
Try to not compare your children. If you have any doubts about his development, have a talk w/his pediatrician.
My son is almost 17 months and he doesn't say much either. Mostly he babbles ALL the time. He has 2 much older siblings so that probably has an impact.
no you shouldn't wait. if it doesn't feel right to you and your are his parent then go and ask his doctor, they will be able to guide you in the right direction. even though most children devolope at different intervals..it will give you a good starting points
So don't worry our peditrician once said that by the time they go to kindergarten they are all almost equal Albert Einstein didn't talk until he was 5 and look at who he was
You have to think of it like this, he does have other siblings to speak for him :) So he is taking his time!!!
Try out with the small things. like animal sounds... "The cow says mooooo" getting him to say sounds like that will help him develop words..
There is a program called the birth to 3 program and it is very useful and it is available through out the US. And they offer programs for speech. My daughter was the same way and she sees a speech therapist every week and she get home schooling every week as well and it has really helped her along she'll be three this February and she been in the program since she was 1 1/2 and you can call any state facility that deals with assistance (even if you don't need it) and they can get the number for you, and hopefully they have a program called HANNA and it helps a great deal to help to teach you child even if its not your first time around there still so much out there that it doesn't hurt but to try. Well I hope this helped.
He's fine, honest. But he has figured out that there is a houseful of bigger people who will get or do anything he wants. My daughter did the same thing because she had three older brothers who anticipated her every wish, command and move.
He is still within the single-word stage of language development. Is he learning new words? To be within the norm, he should have 50 vocabulary words before he starts using two-word sentences at between 20 and 26 months. Boys mature more slowly than girls, and individual boys can vary from each other in the rate they learn speech and language. Relax, Mom; it sounds like he'll be ok.
Every child is diffrent..if your doctor has not said anything just give him time.Children do things when they are ready.
