There are times when we're worried about Sze Yi too because none of us knows what she's talking about. I guessed every child grows at their own pace and it's advisable not to rush them. In no time you'll be surprised where he learnt a certain word when you first hear him say it out :) <strong>Joyce says: We never taught him "football" consciously, but he sort of picked it up on his own.</strong> Don’t worry, I’m sure he’s just taking his own sweet time.

My Mom says I could talk at about 1.

My nephew oni started speaking at 4yo. Now at 9, he's just like any other kids, chatty as ever. <strong>Joyce says: Oh my! I really do hope I won't have to wait till 4 for him to start speaking!

My mum says that the best way to encourage babies to talk is to talk more to them! Hope that this works for you too. <strong>Joyce says: I talk a lot to him, believe me!

Boys do develop slower than girls in the speech department. My 18mth son is still struggling with single syllable words, and even then, he doesn't know that many. How many 7 years do you actually know that don't know how to speak? So it's just a matter of sooner or latter. There's a joke which goes: We spend the first 3 years teaching them how to walk and talk, and the next 15 years telling them to sit down and shut up! Ha Ha! <strong>Joyce says: Is that a joke? hehehe...thanks for the encouraging words, dear!</strong> oh don’t you worry. Boys do develop slower than girls in the speech department.

Encouragement is important though, find ways to encourage him to talk instead of accepting his signs. <strong>Joyce says: Of course!
