[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you people nuts? The kid is just at age 2.  My son was having some issues with speech, spent a zillion dollars on therapy for a year.  Stopped because it just seemed a waste.  Now at age 4 he's fine.  Believe me 2 is young.  Unless there's dramatic issues - I mean obvious - a 2-6 month delay is not a big deal.  My 2 yr old did not  speak in phrases either.  Now nearing 28 months she is beginning to do so.  The other thing is to consider whether there are other languages spoken.  The experts suggest it does not impact but my experience with my own kids and other bilingual families is it does.[/quote]

When you're 2 years old, 6 months is a BIG DEAL.  Also, please do not spread incorrect information--bilingualism does NOT cause speech delay.

I'm so glad you're kid caught up, but realize some of us start speech at 18 months or 2 years, and are still in speech years later because our children are delayed.  You can't tell at 2, if a child will catch up in a few months or not so early intervention is essential.[/quote]
