[quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old DS is learning slow (daycare tell me) and not talking much. He is going to get evaluated for speech and get speech services. In the mean time, what can I do to promote learning at home. He loves songs and I believe he learns better through audio and visual. Should I do vtech/leapfrog audio book or flash cards? Which one is better? Or should I buy daycare posters (letter, fruit, animal, shape, colorectal) to decorate his bedroom for him to look at them for more exposures? I hate daycare posters, good for daycare classroom, but not my taste to see them at home. But if it can help him to learn or talk, I will definitely consider it. Or should I get those 100 words books or baby board books for him even though he is 3 now, and he is my last child?

You won’t believe it, but my older DD skipped babbling stage, not talking much for long time (only talked a few words/sounds daily by 3 year old), and went from started talking more to reading simple books in a few months. She has skipped 2 grades in ES. She loves to read books and learns fast and talks really smart. At one time, I was worried to death about her speech but I knew she never had problem with learning. This is my younger child, and he seems not interested in learning knowledge and reading books, and obviously he has problem with talking. I am more concerned about his learning than talking now. He is good at playing toys and daily life activities (put on sock, open door, brush teeth etc) , but he does not seem to recognize any shape, color, letter etc even daycare & I have taught him already. Is 3 year old normal not knowing any of this at all even though he is in daycare environment? I know I cannot compare 2 kids, but I can’t help but getting worried. Any helpful tips will be appreciated.
