At the beginning of a child's life, they do not have the ability to express themselves because they cannot speak yet. Therefore, when they feel hungry, wet, or uncomfortable, they will use crying to remind parents. But the vast majority of babies can speak by around one year old. So, is it normal for a little boy over 2 years old to not speak?
The little boy is over 2 years old and still cannot speak, which is an abnormal situation. Because babies can speak at the age of one. And under normal circumstances, by the time a baby is over 2 years old, they can already say nursery rhymes and engage in simple conversations. If the child cannot speak at this time, it is definitely abnormal.
Children over 2 years old who cannot speak may have language developmental disorders, and if there are abnormalities in the vocal cords, it can also cause the child to be unable to speak. In addition, some children may have hearing impairment, which is also a common reason for their inability to speak. At this time, it is necessary to take the child to seek medical attention in a timely manner, such as conducting a hearing test, to confirm whether the baby has hearing impairment.
Children who are over 2 years old and still cannot speak should be alert to autism, which is characterized by social barriers, silence, and stereotyped behavior. I don't usually have eye contact or language exchange with children or parents. These children enjoy playing with electronic products and round toys. If the baby has the above symptoms, it may be autism.
