Hi, My son who is 34 months old speaks almost over 50 single meaningful words, 6 to 7 two word phrases. He is quite behind in his colloquial speech. He does good and happy in play school mingling with other kids, reciting more than 10 short rhymes, alphabets, numbers, colors etc. Understands and follows directions a lot. Only occasional tantrums once a day or two. Repeat sof phrases we say. However, m concerned if his speech will get along normally. Please help with your thoughts.

Please check that wether his other developmental milestones have been achieved on time or not. While being with other kids in school, note if he is able to sustain age appropriate conversation with his peer or not. When he interacts with them, is he just imitating them, just running around or actually involved in the activity. How about speech clarity? One very important thing would be to consult a professional, a clinical psychologist. Please do not avoid that. There are set tests that could only be run by a professional, which would provide you a better insight about the situation.
