My daughter is 4 year old. Had issues with her speech, she can speak A-Z, (with some letters wrong pronounced) numbers, started (clear) repeating words just heard from us, but will not speak for her requirements, also utters a lot word repetitive of no rightness. Will not express what she wants to. Just learned to tell her name, by repeated practice, but may not understand what she is speaking up. She is our only child, lived almost with us (nuclear family), we might have taken extra care for her, not got chance to mix with children other than her play school time. Some time we took her to parks & other public areas, where she freely enjoys company of other kids & cooperate. She is playful, joyful & loves dancing. Only disturbing is her lacking vocal expression, she tries to demand all her work by pointing, bringing it (choice of dress, she likes) or moving. How much we should concern on her, do she require specialist guidance or we as parent should give her more time with our own normal ways of teach. Please help.
