There's nothing to talk about for now..
Make una leave her..

Or you can start by introducing currencies to her..
Once she sees money she will start talking..make sure you reward her with some..

Greatn3ss:

For where... She'll just be looking at you, sometimes you'll even feel like slapping her

Greatn3ss:

The funny aspect is that she has a little sister who will be one very soon. that one still crawls but has started saying meaningful things while her elder sister will be mopping at her. please is there anything wrong with my niece, what do we do to help her?

You should give her more time, but keep an eye for signs of autism if she displays other behaviors like not responding when her name is called (people often misinterpret this for hearing issues).

feel like Slapping her? are we talking about a 3 year old or a 13yr old? .... I just feel like slapping u whoever u are.. Nonsense..A 3yr old is now under pressure to grow up..@ 3 the comparisons has already started with the younger one.. u can imagine what will happen when she clocked 25 or less...At 3 she's now expected to answer properly.. mchtwww ..

Good day nairalanders

I have this little niece that is staying with us for the main time. she's 3 years, she can walk, she hears very well, she plays(though not too much), she mingles with other children in the neighborhood, she's somehow smart though stubborn atleast she goes errands well if she wants to, but the problem is she can't say something reasonable like "mama" "papa" "wee wee" "yes" etc. She can't even wave her hand to say bye bye or nod her head like to show gesture, rather she will just be staring at you. the only thing she does is say unreasonable things, sing song that nobody understands. She has been attending school for the past year but still no improvement.

Some children develop this sort of 'slow' progress to development and it's quite normal, then now begin to catch up much later to the same levels of their mates.

HOWEVER DUE TO SOME GENETIC IMBALANCE, SOME WONT EVER ATTAIN PROPERLY DEVELOPMENT.
is the child having any retarded signs like bringing out saliva, not able to coordinate her hand in lifting things etc?

wunmi590:


Give her time she would pick up...

It also depends on how the parents handles her when she was a baby...

My 9month old baby now say bye bye and wave her hands even when her tone is not clear enough, but you would hear the bye bye, she can also clap her hand when you say clap your hand for mummy and daddy...

Though creche also play a huge part in child development, as they teach then alot in creche too

Greatn3ss:

She does clap her hand at her own will but she'll never do it if you ask her to

Greatn3ss:

No, she's normal and fast too although somehow flexible
