morning mummies. =)
think #2 or gals tend to be able to speak earlier bah?
but be able to talk early might not be a blessing hor...can imagine zynn always push away the maid and shouted "i want mama" when i'm having my dinner?
sylvia
ya lor, ur 24hrs gym.
had been sahm w/o helper for a couple of mths before, think running on stepper undisturbed easier.

ha ha...okie okie.
thought i post here before that my hb can only talk when he was 5yo?
now its not easy for u to out talk him some time, his job is to argue in meetingsss. =P
so talk late doesn't mean got problem in talking, just their character that they dun like to talk unnecessarily nia lah.
vern
agree with u, my #1 dun really shout for me also at this stage last time.
think #2 really pick up talking from #1 earlier.

Like wat Vern says, it's down to individual baby... in general boys are also a bit slower. Dun worry too much.. it won't be long.
My nephew only started talking when he was 2 years old.. even now when he's 3 years plus... his speech slurs.. still can't pronounce Kor kor or Kuku properly. He only started picking up words like bear, car etc when he's after 2.

bb speaking:
i read somewhere to encourage bb to speak, try to talk to them more often. like when you bring bb out for walk, describe the scenery and what they can see, etc. reading to them also helps. last and least effective method is TV coz' it's really passive learning. but i dun deny that J learnt quite a lot of words from TV, like his body parts, the word "up" from elmo, etc. i think my MIL reads a lot of him also and we have those learning charts where we can point and teach J the word. he still can't say ABC and 123 yet. the only colour he knows is blue but generally, i think the more u talk and interact with your kid, the faster he learns. when i read a book to J, he will sometimes take my hand and ask me to repeat certain words. after awhile, he gets the hang of it and will be able to pronounce it a few days/ weeks later.

Good Morning Mommies!
Celyn,
Don't be overly concerned over YZ's speech development k? My mom and MIL always said Mae speaks slower as compared to #1, my answer is "As long as I know she isn't dumb can already." =)
I try not to compare both gals as it is unfair to them so I just take it easy...#1 likes reading and flashcards whereas Mae will simply walk away...hahaha, bo bian but save me the trouble of doing flashcards =)

Maybe be abit more intentional in getting him to say simple words, esp call you & ur hb.
Ashley can't say much either. She hardly calls me, but she can call my mum & hb. The only times she says 'mama', is when she completes the verse of a song when I sing to her.. Each time I prompt her to say 'mama', she would say 'papa'
I suspect her facial muscles are not fully activated, so it takes a lot of effort to say anything. Maybe do a quick read off the net to see what sort of causes and action steps wrt late speech devt?

celyn,
how about you try this? pick a song that he likes (J reacts very well to music). so for eg, if it's "twinkle twinkle", sing the song with him and do some actions or better still, find a star to flash to him when u come to the word. then after awhile, ask him, "yu ze, what is this?" and point to the star. repeat the word "star" many times in your conversation with him.
i tried this with J and initially, when i said "star", he will point to places with star, e.g. singapore flag, star in his storybook, etc. after many days of me repeating star, he finally said the word.

Maybe it's becoz Yu Ze is not familiar wif the PD. Tats y he is not talking. Anvelle doesn't even react to anything the PD says or does. Juz stare at her. Din even wave when PD asked. The only time she has any reaction to the PD is when the we were leaving the office den she waves n gives PD flying kiss.
Hisstory,
Hi-5! Anvelle calls Dad-dad and my grandma "ah-ma" in such a sweet manner that you can melt. She used to call me mama but no more leh. Dunno y. The mummy is the one taking care of her most of the time n she calls her dad. Haiz...

celyn,
i guess u'll have to figure what motivates yu ze. for J, we know he loves music so whenever he fusses, we'll sing one of his fav tunes and he will settle down for us to change diaper. we use music as a tool to teach since we know he reacts very well to it.
nana,
J can call "mama" and "yeye" properly but call me and hb "mi" and "di". the sad thing is, he's always asking for "mama" and i know he doesn't mean me
he gets particuarly upset when it's time to go home and sometimes in the car, he'll just say "mama" "mama" and even shed a tear. jia lat! it's times like these that make me want to be a SAHM!

krex78,
yah, must think hard loh. like when teaching him to say 'take out' is much easier cos when he say 'take out' i will remove his buckle and carry him loh. so he is more motivated to say. now he is abusing the word and i don't know how to out smart him on this.
mummynana,
maybe bah. yu ze is usually more 'guai' when he is outside with outsider. only after a while then he will turn 'monster'.
snow74,
i guess must be more 'wild' with him when talking to him.

yln,
he will talk to yu ze but not on a repeat mode kind. when i teach him, i will find chance to keep repeating so that he will learn and repeat too. just like how i teach him to say 'take out'.
when i get yu ze to do things, i also will praise him and clap for the job done. sometimes if i just praise without clapping, yu ze will clap himself to tell me to clap for him too. hehehe....

celyn,
we show him... like i ask him:" jerold wants to go downstairs?" he sure wants cos he hua ka, we will show him how to nod head and say yes at the same time. if he can't do it, maybe you can help him by nodding his head using your hand? then maybe later he will get the hang of it and start doing it...

yuuri,
hahaha..... no lah. must think of ideas for each other then we can see what works loh. yu ze goes take out for everything now. he wants to drink those packet milo, he also goes take out. i ask him to say open when i want to open car door, he also goes take out. i think it will take him a while more before he can take another new word.

Morning mummies!
So the topic is on speech development?
I guess each kid is different.
For Chevelle, up to now, she still doesn't really call me mama or her dad papa.
But she has picked up quite alot of vocab from flashcards and those charts. From there, she can recognize colours too. I guess starting her on flashcards when she was v young like few mths old helped. Even she could not comprehend, if I let her choose between 2 flashcards when I ask her which is the object I'm asking for, and she gets it right, I will praise her and stroke her head. Yes repetition is v important and when bringing her out or at home will point things out to her and tell her what they are.
I guess these worked for my girl as she's the super active one, cannot sit still so flashcards is gd. I also let her watch the "I Can Read" DVDs. V funny, everytime the word bellybutton flashes in the screen and is being read out, she will auto pull up her shirt and point to it. Haha
just sharing my experience. Hope this helps!
