Dyna my grandson here in the US was speech delayed. I had him tested at age 2 and he began therapy with the instructor also coming to the house and gave instructions to mom and me. Later transferred to preschool and kindergarten and home. Placed in special class at age 4 for preschool and kindergarten along with therapy and our walking with him. By the end of 1st grade he scored higher than anyone before him at that grade and tested out the therapy at the end of second grade with teacher complaining that he was talking too much.
I mentioned this before to you. Please listen to the therapist and begin the online. You have missed 3 years don’t delay. If they don’t include you I’m sure there are ones who will. Just do it. My grandson graduated high school with honors and attended an Aeronautics University
Wow. What a testimony!! Praying Dyna and other moms in this situation receive this too 🙏🏿
Amen@@crissoa
She waited to long but no need to continue to wait.
Wow,I tap into this testimony for my speech delay son
Hi dyna, it is with an open mind I send you this message. I do not mean any harm especially because it's a sensitive situation with a child. I am a Nigerian who worked as a nursery and kindergarten teacher in Dubai for many years and i have seen these situations in many children over the years. From what i see while you asking your son questions, I do not think speech delay is what the situation is with him. If you pay attention well, he doesn't understand some of your questions, therefore, giving answers that doesn't align. Even if he can not speak, if he understands the question, there are other ways he will answer you via body language and that way you can tell clearly that he understands you but can't put it in words and that is how we all understand our new borns amd toddlers who are not able to speak yet. When we encounter these situations in children during my teaching days in schools in Dubai, we as teachers call the attention of the school principal or the special needs teacher and they communicate this information to the child's parents to take the child for diagnosis. If confirmed that the child has any of the special needs situation, help starts immediately for the child in school. These children are taken for atleast an 1 hour session with the special needs teacher and then return to normal class. The school and the parents work together to help such children. Please and please, from what i see based on my experience, I strongly believe this is not speech delay situation. Please find help for him. I know you live in a village, but please find a way. I pray for the best for you
Yes indeed it's not that he needs speach therapy...he can speak but its just that he needs a lot of others to talk to.He doesn't need any therapy at all
U are 100 percent right.somjachi just needs help from special educators
Dyna congratulations to you & your son for his language/expressive dev. I listened to him and feel that he speaks and just need to connect the words he has learned via your self home schooling. My suggestions are calm down, it's not the end of the world. Try and buy the a collection of beginners children books. I remember buying the Bernstein Bears book and others for my kids to grow their vocabulary. You & your husband are financially stable to may be find a small apartment in the city where there are English speaking schools to enroll him in kindergarten. Try it for a term and evaluate his speech therapy. In US the speech therapist will help with the repetition of words called echolalia. Please avoid using " he does not speak". As a Healthcare professional, I learn during my college years that boys most time may be slower than girls. I worried about one of my boys. I sought therapy evaluation for him because at age 4, he spoke in short concrete words, couldn't pronounce some words correctly just like your son, and expresses himself more with drawings at the daycare and home. I was given a folder with words that begins with those words he had difficulty pronouncing to read to him at home. All my fears went away without any issues in subsequent grades. He ended up attending one of the top Ivy league school with a good job. Your son will succeed and you will be amazed but try a small apartment in the English speaking school at Saudi Mondays to Fridays and come home to Hubby and Dad weekends just for a term. This is just my take and please present your children to God everyday and ask him to give you wisdom to tackle this. Trust me, it will be history. Good job 👏
My dear is true I am a mum of 3 too
Exactly. The mom have to read your comments because it’s exactly what it is.
The nostalgia I had watching this made tear up so bad. My daughter was speech delayed at two and could only say thank you. I was given a window period to work with speech therapist if she still can’t make basic sentences, she will be considered a child under the spectrum. When I informed my mum she was like bring her home (Ghana). She went to school immediately, had speech therapy for about two years. Came back to me after six years. She is now 13 years in 8 grade gifted class. Could never be proud of my mum decision considering me and my husband being educators but decided to listen to my mum. I teach 2-5 grade special education class here in Florida. My dear Dyna if you can take him back home as you said for a couple of years so he can socialize and also consider an evaluation and also speech therapy. He will be fine in Jesus name. I understand your concern. Oh mine.
I agree with you. Dyna you need to take him home. He needs real school, from there get him a speech therapy. He's not doing bad at all, this is called "Language Difficulty " bcos he can't express himself
U guys forgot he was in a real school. He’s just a late bloomer. He’ll talk when it’s time. We humans worry too much. My 6yr old is exactly like her son. He’s not yet where he’s supposed to be but has made real progress.
He can socialize anywhere. He can recieve treatment anywhere.
Am also from Ghana,am happy for you and your family
@@seunosewa It is very true he can socialize anywhere. I was talking about socializing considering the country they are now. Dyna is homeschooling him because she probably didn’t like the school system over there. Now being at home, he is picking up gradually which we all hope he will be able to make simple sentences when mummy or anyone asks a simple question but with the concern of the mother, I was just agreeing with her that taking him back home for sometime as Dyna said herself might also help.
He's fine. He just needs more interaction.
Most times,you find younger siblings talking much earlier than their older ones did, because they learnt a lot from their older siblings.
Well said👍
My dear this child is on autism spectrum. My two kids have this. Therapy helps a lot.
Hi Dyna, my humble suggestion is to take your son to a specialist for some test or diagnosis and then proceed to whatever is recommended. Personally, I don’t think homeschooling will solve the issue. I’ve watched this video and I think that he can speak, but he has a problem to express himself. However, the underlying factor must be diagnosed. I hope there is a possibility to intervene as soon as possible. Please don’t wait till he’s older.
He shows really good engagement and wants to communicate which is a really good sign.He is also really trying it’s just finding the words.
Hi Dyna, there are many good English schools and speech therapists in Riyadh. My humble suggestion for you is to relocate to Riyadh with the kids so that you can enrol them in nursery school. Your husband can still be in the village and visit the family when he is off duty. Or you can send them home(Nigeria) which is the best.
I'm in a similar situation with you; I'm in Riyadh but my spouse works and lives in the village. He comes home during weekends/holidays. We did this to help the kids get a better education and for their social interactions with other kids.
NB: I have a maid who helps me at home.
Enough said !!!!
What a clever boy! He will speak fluently soon. There is nothing wrong with him. Boys tend to take longer to communicate more than girls. I have 2 girls and 2 boys and there are all different. My son didn't know how to converse for the first 5 years and that was just his personality. I home schooled as well-its best because you understand your children. My health visitor suggested speech therapy but I declined because I believed that he would talk. I did not want my son to feel that there was something wrong with him. As mums we have to resist comparisons. We are a singing family, so we sung, recited bible verses, and just stayed consistent with activities especially with his older siblings. My son can now communicate very well, although I have concluded that he is just a quiet boy and there is nothing wrong with him. Don't worry your son will be fine.
I commend you for sharing your child’s situation. I would encourage you to seek a professional assessment. Not just from a speech therapist, but a full assessment that explores all areas of child development. What u are currently able to see are challenges with his expressive language skills, but u need to also assess receptive language. This is very important. Also, your efforts to have him socialize with other children is great, however, at the age of 5, children’s play involves speech with the interaction. Kids of that age are not just playing in parallel with toys, for example. They are playing games like tag, catch me, soccer, etc, and this typically involves verbal communication. So if other children are unable to understand him during play, you will find that they may tend to veer away from him and not include him in the play. I can appreciate the urgency in your voice and I agree with you that you should not just sit and wait as early intervention is key. The quicker a professional can identify the issue, the quicker he can receive the required intervention. I believe someone commented that you can get an online assessment. I would highly consider that if you have that option. Pls be cautious with other parents saying “my child was like that” or “my child didn’t talk till he was 7”. That is not typical development and should not be used as a standard or measuring tool. Everyone’s child’s situation is different. Speech delays can mean many things and are sometimes associated with other developmental challenges that would also need to be addressed in order to see comprehensive results. I know that ppl mean well when they make those comments and want u to feel good, but one cannot ignore developmental milestones that exist for a reason. You are doing a great job and I wish you and Som-som all the best on his journey. ❤
Agreed, speech delay is a big umbrella. Getting to the root of the issue is vital so you can know exactly how to better help him. I'm going through this right now; expressive language issues to be exact. Getting him assistance now will help him not fall behind in social and educational skills.
this is very true
This is the most sensible comment that I’ve seen on this video. Your response was compassionate but didn’t minimize the severity of the situation, which a lot of commenters did in an attempt to be supportive. Most early language development occurs at home, so I don’t think that homeschooling is the issue here.
He smart tho . His going to speak, everyone learn in their own pace
Hey Dyna,
Your son has a speech delay but he's doing amazing! Sounds like a smart kid
Hey Dyna, I am a Special Education Instructor. I will advise you don’t have to be scared over this issue. Your son is not the only one in that condition. However, I would suggest you take him for an evaluation. With your analysis, It could be different things but obviously, he has a speech defect. You are doing a great job 👍even without the proper knowledge skills on how to help him. Right now what you need is the right resources to help him reach his developmental stage goal. You can get this done virtually.
Be patient. He will talk and just keep communicating with him.please don't give up because he is a star
He is smart and his reading skills is applauding seriously, this is a long improvement for his age for the speaking he will improve sis👌👌👌it’s okay to worry as a mother but different child different pace and difference milestone. You are doing great as a homeschooling mum.
Thank you nne❤
God’s the greatest he is going to talk by the grace of God I have similar issues with my daughter and now she is 5 years old this gone may, but just few weeks ago she had started communicating speedy by the grace and power of Jehovoh Yahweh and socially interacting very well so I pray God do it for your handsome boy cause I know how it feels I cry many times but finally God mercy shows up my family and I believe he will do it for you too Amen Amen 🙏🏻
My oldest daughter was like your son but don't give up. Continue to communicate to him you are on the right rack. You will be surprised that one day he will be a chatter box like my daughter
Thank you mama ❤

Hi Dyna. Don’t beat yourself up about home schooling your children. Your son is very intelligent. He just seems to have a problem expressing himself. I dont think it has anything to do with home schooling or lack of interaction (I know several people who were home schooled and are very bright and doing well today). I'm no expert, but I'm sure he will improve if he can have access to a speech therapist. Can you try to see if you can access one on the Internet? I don't know, this is just a suggestion.
This boy is gifted ❤. He will shock you in the next couple of months... my son had his speech perfected at 5-6 years. Do not be anxious...
He is doing very well Dyna, you should be proud. He will be fine.
You are doing amazing and he is doing well he will get around very soon keep teaching him
Pretend play helps too
Thanks for sharing out
I do homeschooling too
Fun watching through
I have 2 kids n I'm home schooling them.The elders is 16yrs n doing grade 9 he is doing great.The 2nd is 7 years n he speaks Fluent English( which is our 2nd language ) great in mathematics n I have no regrets for home schooling them at all..We as parents just need to be disciplined n firm with our children...You need to register with an online school so u keep up with curriculum of their age - don't force them to know much .We must allow them to Grow in their age...Keep going - they will Excell ❤
Mama Dyna...I am a Special Education teacher in the U.S. You can get him evaluated for Speech Therapy services online. A Speech Therapist can work with him remotely.
He has improved greatly. Watching him last year there's great improvements
Did u have to tell her that?
There’s nothing wrong with the boy. He will speak!
@@Sherilynbrown8775 There's nothing wrong with speech therapy. It's a form of healthcare. My sister had speech therapy as a toddler and started speaking at 5.
The boy just needs to be around other kids his age ,with the same language. Again, he is in a home where more than one language is spoken, even when you were living in PH.
You can have him assessed by speech therapist and decide what you pick from that. Please do not let anyone label him!!!!
My dear. He’s okay. And you are doing great sweetheart
You're doing a great job!
Wow this is very educative . Thank you for Sharing this
He will definitely be fine
Dyna Your son is very brilliant , i believe he will be okay , dont worry , his speech will improve 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He's doing well, he's so intelligent. Don't worry about that with time he can.
My dear a speech therapist is good to see him through
I had a nephew in similar situation. His parent moved countries 3 times before he was 3. And they had another child when he was 2. He didn’t speak until he was over 5 whereas his sister spoke so well. He is 7 now and he would never know he had speech delay.
I think you should keep the home schooling up, talk to him more.. tell him what you are doing etc. do more of English than mathematics for now. Try see if you can get Queen primer 1 and 2. If he start putting small words together by himself, he will most likely catch up on expressing himself.
All the best Mama. You have done so well❤
Stop misleading with generalized statements. O
It will do nothing but.help.
He will one day be a physician like his dad. There's nothing wrong with this boy .
"sought"
Please, let's be sincere. He needs help, which I think he will get, or his parents are already getting help for him. I believe he will grow up to be great, but he needs help this period.
Aww, he's adorable. You're doing a great job mom.
When your son turns 9, there won’t be any noticeable difference between him and his peers who didn’t have any developmental delays. You won’t know the value of your son rn. You’ll be thankful for him in the future. Focus on his strengths and help him grow in those areas. I recently got my 6yr old enrolled in a musical instrument school. And he’s doing really amazing.
Your son will suddenly start making landslide progress like my 6year old. My 9yr old nephew was like that too, now he even tells stories. My 9yr old nephew shows no traces of what he went through.
Just keep praying and being positive - faith/law of attraction has helped me. I’m no longer a slave to fear.
God bless you for this🥲
Your words encourage me too...
My son will be 4 November and he has expression delay...I say expression because he can read well and respond to questions about his academics, but he is unable to answer questions about himself or his daily routines at home. I have been to the hospital for diagnosis but nothing yet has been said, they are still studying him to be sure there's nothing to be worried about. He's in kindergarten and I could see his improvement in the last couple of weeks...he has started to say "Mummy" and just last week we were at the hospital and the doctor wanted to take some blood samples from him for some test and my baby was shouting that the band on his harm is too tight, that's the first time I would hear him say that...😢
Your words gave me a sense of relief that all will be well with him. And I believe so much in what Christ is doing.
Thank you.
Hi Dyna. A speech therapist will work wonders. Great job, I homeschooled my little ones for a few years.
Good job! Keep pushing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello mama,
I listened to every single word you said. I have around me kids with the same issue. So you are not alone.
I am doing homeschooling as well since 4 years. I was scared for my first girl as well because she wasn't talking with others, she was so shy, at first I taught it was because of homeschooling and I wanted her to connect with others children. She is more opened now but it's not perfect. What I did without ceasing it's prayers. Talk to God about that, fast and pray. And please use your mouth to bless him with words of faith, do not say in front of him that he has difficulties with speaking, do not compare him to his siblings or to others when he is around and don't even tell that to people anymore. But use your mouth to bless, your mouth has to speak life, tell him "I know you are talking well because God gave you a beautiful mouth, encourage him when he speaks, God gave you a mouth and you will speak to glorify him, you speaks so well and I love to hear you"
Please have faith mama, trust God even if you don't see it yet. I am sure he will be fine, I will pray for you as well.
I have 5 kids and what I learned is that our kids are different and we need to understand that. We need to respect our kids, respect the way they learn and bless them with our words.
God bless you mama and congratulations for your work.
Well done boy👏🏽 You are doing good. All will be well🙏🏾
Try to go with him to see the doctor first, before starting the therapy program. Thanks for understanding 🙏🏽 💕
I had a cousin who took longer to speak and was very intelligence. God blessed you with that boy for a reason, trust Him and He will suprise you. Have checked the online speech therapist.
This happened with my brother and we realized he is autistic. Speech therapy helped a lot but it’s definitely still a continuing journey.
Hi Dyna. You are doing so well. Your son is so smart and his penmanship is impressive for his age. All will be well especially having parents like you and your husband❤❤
He is doing great Dyna and you are being amazing with the homeschooling. Kudos
💕
I am wowed at how well he is doing academically. I worry same for my daughter but people said I shouldn’t be worried she will speak soon and so far there are some improvements now and she is 2+.
Dyna thank God for your life is doing well don't worry with time
Your son will talk, one day he will talk very well
Amen
He’s adorable
&
Good with numbers ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing sis. It will end in praise I believe.
I hope so💕
Don’t fret . He needs immersion speech therapy. He will talk just give him time and a lot of patience
You are doing a great job😊, may God bless him ❤🙏
I just fell in love with the boy.So beautiful.There’s every sign he is going to improve greatly as time goes on.Well done,Mom
This boy is brilliant!
He will be fine God is great!
Your Son will be fine just give it some time, as you keep working on the right part you are presently.
You have done so well , he his trying continue pushing him he will be better, and if is with other children he will do better well done 👏
Don't be hard on yourself dear, kids are difference my daughter at 2 she was already perfect yours swear she was 4.. He will keep on progressing slowly but surely
Probably needs to be around his peers but until then just keep stimulating conversations with him. God bless you qnd your hubby's effort
Have tried to meet a specialist to rule out if he is not in spectrum . More gracie ♥️
You r not alone. My two kids are in same shoe though improving now. We ll keep trying n talking to them n praying for them.
Every child grows differently, he will eventually speak properly,keep up the good work and give it time.❤
Hello Dyna I have been watching this video over and over trying to understand the situation, you've done a great job but now I think its time to change strategie, its no more about you and hubby but the future of your children, if you cant get the help you need in SAUDI, I think you should go to anywhere your son will be helped, Have you tried creating vioce Playlist for him to listen then repeat back as a home work, answers to all the questions he could'nt respond, of course with a premio if he repeats what he listened to before ,am sure you know what to do drastically to help your son, its just DIFFICULT, Your son needs to be in school, sport, speech terapie now, he will talk absolutely, he is ALMOST there, seek help wherever you and hubby will get it, I LOVE YOU DYNA ❤❤❤❤❤
My son is currently 6 and even though he has a speech therapist it is still not 💯 okay. You are not alone I am also not panicking about that because I know it is just a matter of time.
I commend your efforts. You have done a great job home schooling him. Over the years I have come to realise that he needs to speak more than just sitting and watching cartoons. I encourage him to play with his brother that way they will both communicate more.
Just stay calm and keep doing what you are doing and with time, he will be fine. Believe me I can clearly understand your son better than mine. So just stay calm
He's doing well jaree, no pressure.
I can relate Dyna!
My first son had same issue. Academic wasn’t the issue at all.
He started speaking few months to 5yrs.
I changed his Montessori school to impoverished school with lot of pupil. I believe that made the difference because of the setting.
I personally prayed fervently and help him read at home.
Pls don’t panic. I believe your current environment plays a role.
Don’t be hard on yourself, Dyna. You are doing amazing. I believe the environment and the fact he is the first child could play a role in this. My 1st two kids were born in Saudi and we left when they were 3 and 1. I noticed same with my 1st and as soon as we went to a new country and put her in school with her peers, she literally turned to a chatterbox before our eyes. So if that option is not available to you now, I’d suggest more communication with his peers. Organise more play dates and mum dates. ❤❤
Dyna he is doing so well. I don't want to write much before i tear down. My 9 year old can't say mich. He just starting saying a few words lately and blabbing more on my videos. I am still trusting God for perfection because he can write a full page but talking na big work.
My sister, you are trying so hard and he will improve
Same I, God is my only hope. My son in two months will be 8,he called me mama when he was 7, he can read, write, do his assignments alone but talking long sentences is the problem. It’s well
He is actually very book smart and so enthusiastic about it ❤❤❤❤.
Coming back as you said in your previous vlog would really help him,therapy,socializing but omo Sommy Dey burst my brain,professor sommy❤❤❤,but their is actually improvement cos he is not repeating ur question,with time and therapy he will be ok.
My dear with time your son will talk remember every child is not the same, my first son is 19 years now it takes him like six to seven years before you can hear what he is saying, today he's in the university studying engineering and talks even more than is mate. So my continue to pray for him and his siblings don't worry yourself give him more time. I can even hear him more than my son than.
❤❤❤❤
Mama Dyna don't worry he is going to speak very well at the right time , our last born has speech problem up to six years at times he will have issues with other kids he can't explain anything that happen between them ,my mum took him to the hospital all they were saying he is going to speak at the right that was all ,one faithful day he started talking,now he is a talkative now ,worry no more he will speak because is very intelligent and smart everything will be fine ❤❤❤❤❤❤
He will be just fine, continue your work.
Very impressive child. May God bless him greatly ❤
❤
He has no problem dear,continue to communicate with him.When you say,a child does not talk,It means the child can not answer Yes or No nor open mouth and answer questions.
Welldone.Keep working with him,God will crown your effort with good success.Please pray for him also.
I feel your frustration and pain in this situation. My son was like this 22 years ago and today he is a chatter box. I believe with time and more interaction with other children he will get better. You are doing great 👍
Thank you mama ❤
Hello Dyna. Well done taking care of three under-fives. I always love your authenticity and vulnerability in keeping it real. Your son is brilliant! He can count in tens to a thousand and all. I don’t think his issue is merely speech delay. I am a medical doctor by profession and this will be my sincere recommendation. Please take him to a Pediatrician for detailed evaluation. My possible differential here is Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) which is a chronic condition that requires a comprehensive treatment approach. Individuals with ASD have varying degrees of impairment in social and behavioral function. Management must be individualized according to the child's age and specific needs. Management of ASD requires a multidisciplinary approach that makes use of the child's strengths to address his or her weaknesses. I hope this helps. Well done mama!
Your son is very smart and has greatly improved,in speech there are different levels to communication, firstly is understanding of language and expression, major way out of this is sending him on small errands in the house ,make sure he understands it and be patient with him and do omega 3 both supplements and foods ,enfamol is good too .All the best sis.
Dear Dyna, you doing an awesome job with home schooling & taking care of your children & the family. Please, consider online speech therapy for diagnosis, etc. There's no harm in that at all! Just think of it as exploring another avenue to put your mind at rest, cos your hubby is a medical professional, both of you are certainly knowledgeable about seeking medical tests when symptoms present themselves. You have nothing to loose at all by seeking a specialist at this point. I love the way you handled your health discomfort with your IUD & contraception, your recent surgery amonhst other things. It shows that you know the importance of keeping things top notch. All the best dear, and may God grant you your heart's desires over you & your family IJMN.
You are a wonderful mum. Your son is so smart and will catch up before you know it. ❤
I hope so!💕
Im facing same challenge,my son is 3+ but communication & speech is a huge challenge,we enrolled him with a therapist and he’s improving,though can’t speak but im seeing some improvement,l intend going back to Nigeria by the end of the year,to enroll him in school to see if there will be better improvements,we intend staying 3-6 months just because of him,l don’t mind,your son is trying honestly,if you can still try the option of going home to see
Hi Dyna, your doing a good job homeschooling. My son was same way. He started speech Therapy at 2 yrs old here in the U.S. Early intervention helps but its never late, I think going to the city where he can get evelauated will be great. Also there are online speech Therapist sessions available via zoom . Do not give up, he's a smart boy and he'll do well.
I can relate with this, my daughter was speech delayed but today she is a graduate, trust me he would get there plus it is obvious that young man is smart, good job Mama! You are doing great
@Dyna Ekwueme 😮😮😮😮 omg my daughter of 7 can't not do all of this. You're doing a very wonderful job .
Trust me you are doing great and your son is amazing, without therapy you achieved this much independence for him? Weldone, keep doing what you doing sis
Mama Dyna, he's speaking. He just needs to interact more with kid's his age. I love how unbordered you're ❤❤❤❤
Thank you hun 💕
@dynaekwueme This reminds me of my son when I newly got to Canada. I brought him at almost 1 and 1/2 years. We both stayed in the house for almost two years bored and only staring out the window. He couldn't speak well at all. Shortly after we got our PR and could qualify for daycare subsidy, I took him to day care. In just one month I was amazed. One of his teachers went on vacation for a month and was stunned at how he improved. That was about 12 years ago and he is a talkative, smart boy now. Pls take him to a daycare let him mingle with his peers
Speech delays almost happens to first born & don’t know why! You are doing great mama D,
We plenty for this boat o! I live in Germany! It’s a struggle for this language and communication
He is so precious. ❤
💕
Such a smart little lad. I love how he calls water memon. Dyna, you are doing a good job. If they start school they will learn the language within a year and they can integrate. Being multi lingual enhances the brain. You need guided curriculum even though you home school.
You are amazing Dyna. You make it seem so easy ❤
This boy will talk well very soon
Blessed child he can speak as he grows he will keep on improving in his speech for the meantime, please if you can get a speech therapist to help him to improve more you are a great job, beautiful Dyna❤❤❤❤❤
Bless him, he’s such an intelligent child ❤❤
❤❤
You are doing a wonderful job with the kids.weldone 🎉🎉🎉
My son will be 5 soon, yes we are still learning how to speak.
Hi Dyna,
I've you read about "Hyperlexia " ?
Where a child is highly fascinated with letters and numbers, can do better with concrete rather than abstract, and have difficulty in expressing (communication).
I suggest you do more research on it.
I believe that with speech therapy (vocal and motor imitation, modelling, and supporting social interactions, etc)
ABA therapy
Occupational therapy: it would support him to thrive.
Well done!
You are doing great mama. I’m sure when he mixes with his mates, he will communicate. God has got you and your family sis. Don’t worry about it okay, he will communicate so well soon and you will be amazed. Please the links you mentioned in the video
Dyna, he will be fine. I understand that you are worried. He is a smart kid, he will communicate once he has more people around him and also talk with his siblings. Your idea of taking him home is also good.
This is so my son. He’s 6 now and thriving. I’m happy to have found a community in your page. I’ll keep following your page to see how your 5yr old progresses.
My son started reading at 2. He receives awards at his school but he’s speech delayed - can’t communicate. I’m not in a haste, the days of worrying are over. With the progress he’s made recently, I now know for sure he’ll do everything with time. Hang in there Dyna, they’re only taking their time but will eventually evolve in his time.
Ps: I’m in the US, and my son started attending daycare at 6months, and has been receiving therapy since he was 18months. So it’s nothing about what you’re doing or not doing right. They’re just taking their time and will eventually get there. My 6year old is also a tech guru.
Gratitude is one thing that has helped me lately- If you focus on their strengths, you’ll get to appreciate them more. I’m so thankful to God for my son. He’s got loads of talents. When it’s time, he’ll reach all of his milestones.
Yes I pray u always be positive raising this kids.
Please watch your tongue. He will.... just in his own time please be positive and just believe no matter what it will happen ❤❤❤
Hi Dyna, do not panic. He probably has very high functioning Autism. He needs just neurodevelopmental support: speech therapy n occupational therapy targeting perceptive sensory stimulation.I watched him for 60 Secs and could tell already . Yes they r usually ahead of their Age cognitive wise. Their brains r like photocopy machines… they can read very well. They r very retentive but have Problems with Speech and understanding social interactions. They r usually very smart. He just needs early intervention and support. You know back home , we use to think Autism is when s.o is incapacitated. But here in Germany or in western world there is something called high functioning Autism…. The type the world Stars have… Albert Einstein, Ellon Musk, Bill Gates. Read about the world Stars with Autism. Also read about Autism. So do not bother, he just needs neurodevelopment Support to bring out the star in him.
Ahn ahn .. sis, is that how they diagnose autism? You wanted a video nd just concluded without a questionnaire. You are really amazing oh
It’s not necessarily Aut. but looks like it esp. with his far-gone cognitive ability and some other features. I’m not a Child Psychologist But it’s my Major as a Nurse. Speech delay can Mimik many things. The bottom line is thorough Evaluation and am sure she understands.
@aniket7332 these are reason I don't want her to say anything negative about these our kids ..please dont bring anything up..our boy is well and there's nothing wrong with him .just do your video and ignore our kids please
Autism because of speech delay? Nooooo. Everything she says doesn't point to autism. He's got no delay except in speech. That's not enough for autism. With the right support now, in 4-5 years you'll never remember that he had this problem. Can't scare her like that.
My Daughter just turn 4 and she is the same. I had her assessed a couple times by pediatrician and they just recommended speech therapy and OT for eating because she is extremely picky eater
Nne Good job,keep on keeping on…
Hi Dear, you’re doing a great job with your kids Especially being far from home with limited support. Kids develop differently. My son who is the same age with your son struggled with expressive speech until one day seemed like something just clicked and everything he had in his head he started saying. Your son seems very bright keep giving him the love and support and he’ll be great! Society created all these timelines and every child is unique ❤
Environmental changes this also happened to my 1st born daughter she later talked at 5yrs! Now she is 11 she still sounds funny when talking.....
Kudos to you dear dyna for you have done a great work,home schooling him and he can read.nnem some children of his age are in school but can not read yet.the boy is intelligent.for the fact he do make an attempt to talk shows that he don’t have any problem,just that he is a late bloomer.he needs to interact with children of his age and school will help him do that.kids will soon vacate from school here in Nigeria,and you can use the opportunity and bring them for their vacation enroll him for summer class,just watch and see how he will improve like my niece.
Yes, there's progress and actually, time helps.
One of my twins has speech /communication delay. She started reading before 3years. She counts well. Knows months of the year, planets, flags etc... So sharp by book but simple things like communication and some simple things kids are supposed to, she couldn't and her twin made it obvious she was delayed.
Therapy helped us. Speech and occupational. She's so much better now and she will be 5 next year January.
I can relate to the uncertainty but on the other hand, just know that you are doing ur best and time helps.
Early intervention is key.
Look for resources. Forget name tag, diagnosis etc. Just look for resources that will help you help ur child in the challenges he's having.
Also, expand his strengths so it doesn't get dormant.
I see my daughter asa wizkid even though toilet training and basic things other kids learn easily was difficult for her.
I count my blessings.
He is responsive with his academics which shows a good recall, i guess exposing him to more interaction of his age would help and dont forget he was going to school, seeing children of his age and forming behavioural pattern... pulling him out and homeschooling which is not bad might have been a contributing factor, just give him time and engage him interactive wise with alot of intentionality.
People pull children out to homeschool all the time and they do great. That's likely not it.
Hey sis, I admire your courage really, you have been a source of encouragement to us.
I think it's because he is the first born. He does not really have someone to learn from, the younger ones will be better because they see him do things .
Well l think mixing with his peers everyday will help alot.
