    1. CHILD’S VOCABULARY IS LOWER THAN AVERAGE

    2. CHILD DOESN’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND LANGUAGE
    Many parents think their child “understands everything” but actually the child is following
    the gestures, tone, or contextual cues in order to understand and many not actually
    understand the words they are saying.

    3. NOT ENGAGING OR SOCIALIZING AS MUCH AS OTHER KIDS


    This is a big one! Pay attention to how other kids that are similar in age to your interact
    with adults and other kids.

    4. CHILD IS USING MOSTLY OR ONLY SOUNDS RATHER THAN WORDS


    Is your child using words or just relying on sounds? This is common for kids who want to
    talk but don’t have the skills.

    5. CHILD IS HIGHLY FRUSTRATED


    Kids who want to talk but don’t have the skills can become very frustrated and even
    aggressive. Don’t waste time, get your child enrolled in speech therapy as soon as you
    can.
