Synopsis



Every parent dreams to see the day when their child speaks for the first time. Nevertheless, for millions of parents, anticipation turns to anxiety if those initial, all- important words are delayed for an extended time. In many cases, it is easier to reassure parents that their child is also “just a late talker” than it is to determine that their child has delayed developmental milestones. Many children talk late because of other, more severe problems. For other children, however, it is simply a stage with no long-term effects. Jane T. Colvin describes late talking as only one of a constellation of autism symptoms. Even though autistic children are often late talkers, late-talking children are not always autistic.
The book examines the causes of delayed speech and the issues of toddlers who are late talkers. Parents will learn different ways to help their children through this difficult time, while also providing support, acceptance, and leading a normal life without making the child feel as if they must be fixed. No matter the cause of a child's inability to talk, several foolproof methods are offered to help them communicate. Parents can learn the following from the book:
● Parents discover ways to encourage children, specifically those between one to three years of age, to speak and pronounce words.
● Learn the best tools to help their children learn to speak through interactive toys and games.
● How praise plays an important role in promoting speech and how criticism can exacerbate speech delay.
● Methods to find out if their child is suffering from a mental illness.
● Ways to create routines for their children and work on building a relationship by understanding how their children communicate.
The book is designed to help parents cut through confusion and stress to figure out if their children need help. Those interested in learning how to develop young children's language will find this book indispensable.
