[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally would take a wait and see approach. I think contemporary recommendations for early intervention on all kinds of things add so much unnecessary stress and drama. Everyone is so quick to recommend feeding therapy, OT, speech therapy, etc. when many kids just develop normally at a slightly slower pace. My oldest didn’t eat solids until around 15 months, just hated all food. By 2.5 was the least picky toddler I know and is still a great eater into childhood. She barely spoke at 18 mons and I worried she was delayed. She spoke full 7-8 word sentences by 20 months with a big vocabulary. Try not to stress. [/quote] I agree with this. My son had maybe 10 words at 18 months. At three, his pediatrician tells me his speech is significantly above average. I’m sure he’ll even back out with other kids by kindergarten. His development curve just looks a little different from others.[/quote]
