While many children start speaking early,<br />
not all children do. In fact, for parents<br />
whose children do not start speaking early,<br />
it can be heart-breaking to hear other<br />
parents talk about their frustrations with<br />
children who won’t stop talking.<br />
Children may not speak fluently for many<br />
reasons, from physical impediments to<br />
neurological or learning differences. When<br />
a delay is identified, it is helpful for parents<br />
to be guided towards medical assessment.<br />
Not only can this eliminate more serious<br />
conditions, but it can also open doors<br />
for early intervention. One easy and<br />
accessible activity that can support<br />
intervention is singing familiar songs.
