What Should You Do If Your Child Isn’t Talking by Age 3?

Scribbled Underline

If your child has reached age 3 and is still not talking, it’s natural to feel worried. The good news is, early support and understanding can make a big difference. Here’s what you need to know.

By the age of 3, most children can speak in short sentences, ask simple questions, and follow basic instructions. If your child isn’t showing these skills, it’s important to pay close attention and consider the next steps.

Understand Typical Milestones

Every child develops at their own pace, so take time to observe how your child tries to communicate without words. Notice if they use gestures, make sounds, or maintain eye contact. These clues can help professionals understand their communication style.

Observe and Stay Calm

Hearing problems are a common reason for delayed speech. Scheduling a hearing test is an important first step to make sure your child can hear sounds and voices clearly. Early checks can prevent unnecessary delays in support.
