My child is not walking or talking like other toddlers his age, should I be worried?

Before you get too worried, you should consider that all children will develop at different rates. Your child may just be a late bloomer. Don't get discouraged if they do things a little different.

They may just learn in a different way than other children their age. Some children will start walking as early as nine months, but many perfectly normal toddlers don't start taking their first steps until they are more than 17 months old. If you're very concerned about your child's development, don't hesitate to call their pediatrician.

They should be able to answer any questions that you have and allay any fears. As for talking, this will also depend on your child. Typically around their first birthday they will know how to use between one and five words.

This will turn into quite the vocabulary over the next few months. Once more, if you have concerns, contact your pedi. They will be able to tell you exactly where your child should be with their speech.

There may be nothing at all wrong. Perhaps your little buttercup is just shy. Hope that helps!

Try bribing him with stuff for him to do what you want.

It is true that you should trust your and your child's instincts. But I would not dismiss your instincts over a doctor's feeling. If you have concerns, try for tests if possible.

We have three children. Daughter began talking early, 8 months (birth order also plays a role in this I think) late walking typical balance of "if they are doing one thing they can focus on the other later," typical doctor catch all. We followed this rule of thumb for our son who was born 2 1/2 years later.

18 months, climbing, walking, organizing chess pieces from tallest to smallest, great pattern recognition skills. But we also noticed he was just babbling. Asked the doctor about this and she stated that big sister was just talking for him, he is great at pattern recognition and cross motor skills, he will catch up!

Very reassuring, but there was something creeping in the back of my mind thinking that it was not right. I ask my wife and she went with the doctor's advice so I conceded the issue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
