[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are working from home and keeping your toddler home from daycare, or are a SAHM but moms groups aren’t meeting- have you noticed any speech delays? We’re having problems and I’ve also seen more people posting about this topic. It could be a coincidence too. We obviously speak to our child but it’s not nonstop the way kids talk to each other all day in daycare. [/quote]

Toddlers learn language from adults, not from other kids.

Speech delays are very common, they aren't more common during covid.  [/quote]

one of the first things an SLP will tell you is to make the kid use the words he has and not give him things when he points silently or grunts. Daycare is great for that because the kids kind of have to advocate for themselves from a young age. So, yes, daycare can help with language delays. My kids had a language leap each time they moved to an older class - if you expect more, they can rise to the occasion (in the absence of true language issues).

This isn’t a crazy thought. [/quote]
