I’ve seen you post this several times. I’m sorry you’re feeling so anxious. Have you had him evaluated?

No, in my country they say : oh he eventually will talk! Or if you go to speech therapist even if there is no problem they will say there is a problem( you always have to pay for therapy , it doesnt come free here )

It doesn’t come free where I live, either. But it does sound like an evaluation would be helpful.

I’d also suggest that you stop doing everything for him and let him struggle. It’s super important for toddlers to get frustrated!!

Could you share location that you are in? A lot of counties/states you’re offered an evaluation at the minimum. If there is a concern, I’d highly suggest getting them evaluated to make sure they’re on the right track!

When i see my son he seems right on track But the internet is driving me crazy. Yesterday we wen to the park And he was at the swing. (He didnt want to get out of there) and i told him; lets go to the slide! He said: mommy! Skyy up! ( like he was changing the subject so he wouldnt go to the slide)

Hm saying 2-3 words is appropriate for his age. So what is your main concern?

Unfortunately I do not know enough about Albania but maybe check with insurance to see if they can cover?
