Kaira,
Wow, July and queue till Dec. Thats long.
When your boy start to talk, you will hope to have a quiet day. My boy is also late in talking, I guess my helper is the one who kept telling me not to worry, cos he chat none stop once he start, he will be able to talk v fast. As what she said, indeed he can talk quite fast and none stop.
I guess individual kids progress differently. As long as when you talk to him, do not go baba, aaa, ee. He talk to you in bb language, we must reply in words. This do helps. My brother helper replied to my niece in aa,ee baba form, end up she need to see a speech therapy and start to talk at 4. Although she start late but she is smart and get award in P1 last year.
My gal teacher told me they have to hold the counting part till my gal willing to talk to them. At least now she got sound come out. I show them the video of her dancing and singing, they were amaze.
