Please Help! My 3 Years Old Niece Can't Talk Properly by Greatn3ss: 10:38pm On Oct 23, 2021 |
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. 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? |

Maybe 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.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Well you could make concerted effort to teach her at home, and gradually as time passes by you would see improvement. My second opinion would be to get her checked out by a pediatrician at a fg teaching hospital. |

Greatn3ss:Children learn at different paces. Give her time to grow at the pace she is capable of. The most you can do is take her to a pediatrician who will check her go be sure she is healthy. Other than that, there isn't nothing else you can do that you don't seem to to already doing for her. Let her learn at her own pace abeg! 1 Like |

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). |

Hi Greatn3ss. How many languages are spoken around her or to communicate with her I'm not an expert but I once read an article of some parents in the diaspora that complained about something similar to this about their child and they were advised by the Drs to only communicate with their child using one language. I learnt that at times it is difficult for some children's brain to speak becos of multiple languages spoken around them. So try to use only one language to communicate with her and be intentional about it 2 Likes |

Greatn3ss: That child may either be borderline autistic or has a learning disability. In any case what is needed in a patient and loving approach to continuing to teach her with montessori style techniques. 2 Likes |

Greatn3ss: Expressing any sort of frustration will only make things worse. Better not to engage her if you can't deal, don't worsen the situation. |

It could be as a result of birth defect, most cause by delay in child delivery or overdue pregnancy. |

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: 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? |
Re: Please Help! My 3 Years Old Niece Can't Talk Properly by Greatn3ss: 4:51am On Oct 25, 2021 |
nnamdiosu:No, she's normal and fast too although somehow flexible |
Re: Please Help! My 3 Years Old Niece Can't Talk Properly by Greatn3ss: 4:54am On Oct 25, 2021 |
wunmi590:She does clap her hand at her own will but she'll never do it if you ask her to |
Re: Please Help! My 3 Years Old Niece Can't Talk Properly by wunmi590(m): 8:17am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Greatn3ss: She will do ot later, you guys shouldn't relent in teaching her too |
Re: Please Help! My 3 Years Old Niece Can't Talk Properly by nnamdiosu(m): 8:19am On Oct 25, 2021 |
Greatn3ss: Then I guess it's just speech therapy she needs. The best bet is this, take her to a padetrician. That's a children's doctor). After he examine her, he or she will be the best bet to decyper what the issue is. Best of luck |

Greatn3ss: Did the mother experience a difficult childbirth? |

Greatn3ss: You just mentioned she's normal, so what's the rush? Let her grow at her own pace please |
