Hi rachoho,
Slow in speech like in what sense? He'd already saying some words?
I remembered my boy, at ard 21 mths, wasn't speaking much either. Tho he could understand us. Back then, he attended parents accompanied playgroup once a week when he was 18mth old. He started talking a bit more after he turned 2. I wasn't all that concerned back then cos i do not know any other kids his age for comparison. Hahaha. Anyway, he started pre-N when he was 2yr 4mth.
If I hv my girl before my boy, I might be a bit worried now. Cos at 21mth, she's already asking the W-H-Y qn when we say no to her sometimes. She cld also hv pick it up from my boy who also always ask WHY. So I think hvg an older sibling who chatters a lot and plays with her made a diff too. I was telling my HB this morning that it is also her survival instinct that made her speak earlier. Else she'd be forgotten by everyone else with her bro being such a chatterbox and attention grabber. My PD says girls -generally- develop faster. I guess he's right...
Do u hv those kiddy karaoke DVDs? I think the kiddies will enjoy it and may be encouraged to sing. So that helps with speech too. Try it! My girl learns her Chinese songs from watching these DVDs. That exposes her to the mother tongue too, cos we tend to speak more English at home.

Means, if he's attending 3hrly morning playgrp, he won't be able to nap in the morning unlike now. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
