Good point! Just to clarify for parents reading this comment. If your child has a speech delay they might use words and phrases to express ideas but be hard to understand (so sign 5 in this video). If a child has a language delay they have difficulties understanding and/or using spoken language. As Danielle pointed out they are two different things which your speech pathologist (AKA speech and language therapist) will be able to tease out. Would you add anything else Danielle?
@@EmmaHubbard My Son 3.5 year has speech and know many words and phrases but he is delayed by language and doesn't understand very simple questions .... he is under speech therapy for 4 months now but no significant improvement on language and Q&A from him. Need some help and any helpful link here please do help.
@@EmmaHubbard that's a good summary 😊 also that in my opinion, SPs generally like to use the term 'difficulties' more than 'delay' as delay implies they will catch up which as you know isn't necessarily the case. 'Difficulties' is a bit more encompassing and can be specified further with the SP - it may be that they do need just a little help to catch up, or there might be something else underlying going on so that difficulties are a result of the other underlying challenge, for instance 😊
My daughter said her first word today other than mama or dada (she’s almost 14 months). She said more, and consistently says ‘mo’, but once today she said the full word! It’s a relief because she has never been really into babbling often. She sometimes makes mini little sounds that are not words or quite like babbles either, trying to talk back when I say something. Her receptive language is really good though, she understands to come here when I want her to go up the stairs, and understands when I ask if she’s hungry or if she wants water. Hopefully these are signs of her speech starting to blossom more!
My toddler just got a 25% delay diagnosis. He understands language very well and grasps task too (he can identify items, knows his colors and all his body parts, including names of fingers!) But he seems to prefer gestures. He would has spoken spontaneously but stops using words after he’s used them. He gets really shy after he says the words like he can’t believe he just spoke. It’s interesting because prior to 18 months he wasn’t doing that. He is not on the spectrum according to the assessment and he has no other motor delays at all. I did all I could to avoid delays- little to no screen time, lots of reading, slow speaking, songs, and so on It seems to be that it’s his personality as with other milestones he took his time until he was confident enough to do it fully (for example: we practiced sitting up in front of a mirror by using his arms to balance and would only walk assisted on the wall until one day he decided to let go and was walking no problem and didn’t fall) I wonder how many others are having this experience where the child is not speaking due to a lack of ability but possibly a lack of confidence

This is such perfect timing. I've been trying to get help for my 2 year old who has a tongue toe and speech delay. I keep being told just wait and see 😣
Hi Alana, so glad this video came at the right time. If you are concerned it is always best to book an appointment with a speech and language therapist (AKA speech pathologists depending on where you live) to have an assessment completed. They are really the best people to determine if your little one needs some additional help.
@EmmaHubbard thank you for your reply. We are already working with S&L however here in New Zealand they don't think dealing with tongue ties is nessasery under the public health system and will not even look at them.
Hi! This fact sheet by Speech Pathology Australia shares some tips on how to teach a child to speak in a household with multiple languages: www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/SPAweb/Resources_for_the_Public/Fact_Sheets/SPAweb/Resources_for_the_Public/Fact_Sheets/Fact_Sheets.aspx?hkey=e0ad33fb-f640-45b1-8a06-11ed2b73f293 According to the information in this fact sheet exposing them to multiple languages will not cause a language or speech delay. And "if a child has a speech and/or language difficulty it will be present in each of their languages".
My 2 year son has a speech delay because we moved to a foreign country when he was just 11 months old. At home we speak english to him while at his kindergaten he his taught in another language which we do not understand nor speak. He uses gestures to pass all his message across but he can understand what we say in english and in the new language he his learning. He can also count from 1 - 10 in english but we are yet to be able to converse with him as we would have loved.. I know the cause of my son's speech delay is because he his learning two languages at the same time.
Speech Pathology Australia says: They will develop language at the same rate as children learning one language i.e. first words around one year and joining words together around two years of age. So are you suggesting our children do in fact have language delays which are nothing to do with them being raised in a bilingual environment?
If you feel you are out of inspirations for next videos, here are some inspirations for you, that I couldn't find definitive answers on Google: - should I use air purifier in room, where baby sleeps? can it cause baby more prone to allergies? are allergies more hereditary or caused by environmental factors? should I carry babies in baby wraps and which types? how should I massage kid's eyes if kid has pus on the eye and antibiotics didn't help? what exercices for the legs should I do with baby to make sure hip joint is correct? How to get 2-3 month baby back again to bottle feeding, if baby refuses to drink from bottle, when baby earlier ate from bottle without hesitations. Should I worry if baby doesn't want pacifiers, but is able to self-soothe with hands? Is profilactical whole genome sequencing worth doing? Should I massage baby's stomach or give probiotics (as addition to burping) to reduce colic?
My son is 2 1/2 and only says 5 words. He uses all of the gestures that were in the video and he points to pictures very well when I ask him. He also follows directions well. He doesn’t imitate any words from me though. He was evaluated last year and he’s currently on a waitlist for speech therapy.
Hi Tara, it's great he is able to follow directions and use gestures to communicate. It's also great you were able to get him on the waitlist for speech therapy.

Hi Emma my son has global developmental delay and it involves r at perch delay as well. I have him in speech every week. I’m hoping that he continues to say new words every week as he is doing so. Some are not as clear but he’s getting there.
Thanks for the video! Very detailed as always ❤ You are the best! Can you make a video about how to help autistic toddlers? My 31months old boy, is in the spectrum, is very delay in motor skills and speech. Was born at 23 weeks of gestation
Hi @laura, thanks so much and thanks for the video suggestions. Is your little one seeing a speech pathologist? If so, they would really be the best person to give you strategies to help develop your little ones communication skills, as they would know him. For example they might suggest using visuals to assist with language development.
Do these milestones apply to multi-lingual children? My baby is 18 months being raised trilingual. She understands what you say and responds to all 3. But she has very few words in addition to a few signs.
No worries! If you are a little worried about your little one's language skills, then I recommend having their hearing assessed (to rule out hearing loss) and booking an assessment with a paediatric speech pathologist (AKA speech and language therapist). They would be able to assess your little one's language skill and give you tailored advice if needed. ❤️
@@EmmaHubbard hi Emma thanks for the reply. As I had left this comment an hour ago my toddler has now said thank you so much and coat off please. Which she never has before I do have an appointment with her health provider in a few days aswell so hopefully I can have another professional opinion but I will definitely get her ears checked and make sure she’s actually hearing me 😅
Hi Kateryna, Speech Pathology Australia have a great fact sheet on this topic.

@@EmmaHubbard Thank you so much for the resources, yes it makes sense! I think the initial silence is probably what some parents were concerned with. Appreciate it!
One tip for helping your child develop their language is to stop babying them. I know this is hard to hear for some of you, but a two year old is literally not a baby anymore. They are a toddler. So you have to start interacting with them differently. They no longer require you to do EVERYTHING for them. So stop doing that. The longer you treat them like a baby, the longer they will act like one.
Mine lo is 15m now. She only says dada but it seems like its not towards her father. She does understand a lot, like give me the water bottle, or when she hears her fav songs. I will check your other video.
My lo at her 18 month checkup only say 5-7 ish words. The expectation was that they could say about 15-20. I was told not to worry too much and see if they are still behind at their two year. ( if they were still behind at 2, then there would have been a speech therapist consulted) Their language absolutely EXPLODED in the next 6 months and I now can't get them to stop talking 😂
Looks like I'm here early as my son is only 12-13 months, but I'm still hoping you have insight on this as I see you answer comments. My son screeches, and while it has lessened now that he is starting to learn his first words, the high frequency screeching is a fast trigger to my medical migraine/anxiety conditions. Any suggestions to get him to favor other sounds?
I completely understand! My son has done this since 5-6 months. He had colic and reflux issues so narural he screamed in pain alot. After that was resolved I think he realized he can get a faster response when he screamed and has done it since. He could be happy, sad, excited etc. It didn't matter he has the most high pitched scream I've ever heard and others agreed. 😬 he's now 19 months and still does it but not nearly as often. He was delayed with walking and his teeth coming in compared to his sister. But now he has picked up soo many words and teaching him how to sign words he can't day or pronouce helped so much. He started putting the two together! On another note my daughter (his older sister ) naturally makes all sorts of noise and sings so I believe he picked up alot from her. I didn't intend for this to be a long comment but don't give up is what I wanted to say. It does get better and if you feel he's not progressing from there definitely seek professional help.❤
Mine just turned 14 months, but my older has ASD and had a speech delay, and we got him assistance at 2 1/2. I definitely am preparing to keep an eye on this one to hopefully get ahead if needed.
Hi @MNSweet, although frustrating and painful at times, screaming/screeching to get our attention and request items is not unusual at this age (as they don't have the words yet). You will notice as they start to say words this screeching can reduce. Another way to reduce the screeching s to model the word they should use when then screech. This will help them learn what the word is and then attempt the word when they are able to. If you are unsure of what your little one wants you can also encourage them to "show you" or "point to the item" they want. This will teach them they can use gestures as well to communicate. I hope that helps!
My 18 months old son is still not saying a clear word. We have already cleared the hearing test (all normal!) and have our first in person appt with a speech pathologist next month after he turned 19mos. I pushed our pedia for referrals as soon as he hit 15mos because i am getting worried and wants to give him support as early as possible.
@@ElwynnForest Yes, he is talking already and we have 2 word sentences now. Still delayed but we are happy with his progress. Watching Ms. Rachel has helped a lot as her strategy is similar to our speech therapist. We really noticed a difference in his vocabulary. thank you for asking how my little one is doing 💙
Are these signs to look for when they hit 24 months or are these milestones for 24-36months? I guess at 24 months they might not say 50 words but after a few more months they might.
My 3.5 yr old definitely has a delay by at least 6months. But she knew every single letter by sight by 20months. At 3.5 she can read about 250 words but is still a little but behind in speech. She has absolutely no other signs of autism or a learning delay. She just spent all her time teaching herself to read.
@@HarrietD-ph7bw My daughter knew all the letters and numbers 1-10 before she could sound them out. We'd ask her to pick random letters and numbers from her letter box and she would get the right ones. We'd do this until all the blocks are gone. I know that may not be "reading" out loud, but it's clear she knew each letter and number individually, by sight. She has since learned to say their names, their sounds, and she has her own phonetic alphabet. She's 2 1/2. ☺
@@rmsc9127 I will refer you to a brief passage from a study to illustrate my point. What you are describing with letter recognition is the same process as recognizing numbers or objects. A child can learn that when you make a sound, it means a certain symbol. This is a more rudimentary process from speech development. This is something most dogs can be taught to do. That doesn’t mean the dog understands language and communication. “Luckily, there is a small population of people with electrodes implanted into their heads that can help answer this question. (Most of these people have severe epilepsy and the electrodes are part of their treatment). Researchers asked four of these people to read a story silently and listen to a voice giving them instructions. The part of their auditory cortex that usually responds to speech also processed the written words as if they were spoken.”

Hey Emma, I'm subscribed to your newsletter but can't seem to find the milestone chart in my emails, is it possible to download it somewhere without signing up again?
Mam my baby is 3 months old she cries alot without any reason, her health height and milk taking capacity is also normal as her age and she is growing good. But but she cries alot and even don't stop if I carry her, play with her and take her for outing. I'm not understanding her this kind of behavior. She don't do this whole week she's happy 2 days and then cries whole 3-4 day and again gets normal next day. How to handle her please help me

Mine just turned 14 months, but my older has ASD and had a speech delay, and we got him assistance at 2 1/2. I definitely am preparing to keep an eye on this one to hopefully get ahead if needed.
Hi @MNSweet, although frustrating and painful at times, screaming/screeching to get our attention and request items is not unusual at this age (as they don't have the words yet). You will notice as they start to say words this screeching can reduce.
Another way to reduce the screeching s to model the word they should use when then screech. This will help them learn what the word is and then attempt the word when they are able to. If you are unsure of what your little one wants you can also encourage them to "show you" or "point to the item" they want. This will teach them they can use gestures as well to communicate.
I hope that helps!
My 18 months old son is still not saying a clear word. We have already cleared the hearing test (all normal!) and have our first in person appt with a speech pathologist next month after he turned 19mos. I pushed our pedia for referrals as soon as he hit 15mos because i am getting worried and wants to give him support as early as possible.
It's great that you were able to get into a speech pathologist as quickly!
Any updates?
@@ElwynnForest Yes, he is talking already and we have 2 word sentences now. Still delayed but we are happy with his progress. Watching Ms. Rachel has helped a lot as her strategy is similar to our speech therapist. We really noticed a difference in his vocabulary. thank you for asking how my little one is doing 💙
You look amazing mama! Great video also :)
Thank you so much!!
So helpful. ❤
I'm so glad!
Are these signs to look for when they hit 24 months or are these milestones for 24-36months? I guess at 24 months they might not say 50 words but after a few more months they might.
My 3.5 yr old definitely has a delay by at least 6months. But she knew every single letter by sight by 20months. At 3.5 she can read about 250 words but is still a little but behind in speech. She has absolutely no other signs of autism or a learning delay. She just spent all her time teaching herself to read.
How do you know she can read if she can’t speak what she’s reading? Reading evolves when we understand how words sound. This literally isn’t possible.
@@HarrietD-ph7bw She said by sight. People can read silently.
@@rmsc9127 Except every child on the planet starts by sounding words out. You can’t “silently” read as a baby lol
@@HarrietD-ph7bw My daughter knew all the letters and numbers 1-10 before she could sound them out. We'd ask her to pick random letters and numbers from her letter box and she would get the right ones. We'd do this until all the blocks are gone. I know that may not be "reading" out loud, but it's clear she knew each letter and number individually, by sight. She has since learned to say their names, their sounds, and she has her own phonetic alphabet. She's 2 1/2. ☺
@@rmsc9127 I will refer you to a brief passage from a study to illustrate my point. What you are describing with letter recognition is the same process as recognizing numbers or objects. A child can learn that when you make a sound, it means a certain symbol. This is a more rudimentary process from speech development. This is something most dogs can be taught to do. That doesn’t mean the dog understands language and communication.
“Luckily, there is a small population of people with electrodes implanted into their heads that can help answer this question. (Most of these people have severe epilepsy and the electrodes are part of their treatment). Researchers asked four of these people to read a story silently and listen to a voice giving them instructions. The part of their auditory cortex that usually responds to speech also processed the written words as if they were spoken.”
Thanks Emma
No worries!
What do you think about vibrating crib? Thankyou.
Personally I don't think they are needed but I know lots of parents who love them.
