When Should You Be Concerned About Expressive Language Delays?
While children develop at their own pace, certain signs may indicate expressive language delays. Parents should consult a pediatrician if their child:
- Does not babble by 12 months. - Does not say single words by 16 months. - Does not combine two words by 24 months. - Has a limited vocabulary compared to peers. - Shows frustration when trying to communicate.
Early intervention is crucial for addressing language delays and can significantly improve outcomes.
