Hi I looking for some advice I have a 19mnth old boy who comes 4 days a week lovely
Boy - he was a big crier when he 1st started n didn't like nap times either. All settled now n gd relationship and routine.
He is still a very caution boy and is continually carrying objects (containment scheme I think) and I mean always carrying like x3 happyland buildings at once... Plus everything is in the mouth cup/bottle,toys, clothes books everything.
He is not a very good eater- portion size n still very much mush lots of tinned ravioli (provided my mum).
On a plus side his understanding is gr8 'go n get ur shoes pls' - 'sit down at the table for lunch'. Problem solving fantastic- puzzles, sorting, shapes, . He loves sensory tubs, sorting trays n is gr8 outside ( much less carrying n hding onto things). He particularly enjoys the mud kitchen.
BUT- his only noise is. 'Err' and 'dr' with a point of the finger. No 'mama', 'bye', 'hiya'. No animal noises- nothing. He also has a what I call lazy tongue it sits half out on his bottom lip.!?!
So went to SLAT training last night and it really rang some alarm bells- i think I had forgotten how old he was. So had a look at his DM sheet n I can not confidently say he is secure in either 8-20 or 16-26 in CL - the old ECAT raises a red flag at 16 mnths if no single words which he hasn't.
So should I b concerned ? He is 19mnths - 2yrs in August ! Im happy with all the other areas of development ... Or is it a case of support watch n see ??
Any suggestion on best way to get detailed observation Im thinking video to record any sounds...
Will HV b interested ??
Thanks for letting me air these concerns it helps just to get it of my chest and given me some gd pointers where to start with this terms SA.
