[quote=Anonymous]Your son's expressive language skills sound like they are well within normal limits for a child his age. I work in Early Intervention, and meet new toddlers every week whose parents or pediatricians are worried about a speech delay. Your son's current language skills wouldn't worry me one bit. He already has some words, and has great foundational skills. Watching your mouth when you talk and trying to imitate are key components of language development that your son already exhibits. Keep doing whatever you're currently doing with him in terms of providing him with opportunities to imitate and make choices. When he's pointing at something make sure you are putting words to what he's trying to show you or wants. No need to worry at this point.[/quote]
