Same boat 2.5 year old, slightly delayed so we have her in speech therapy. Figure every little bit helps.The speech delay somehow doesn't seem to affect her when she wants to watch more TV than she's allowed or eat ice cream for breakfastLots of misconceptions and anecdotal wisdom about speech delay. E ven kids who seem to "get it" will still benefit from early intervention with speech therapy. No offense, GB, but ignoring it and hoping with good intentions that one day things will just click is a bit misguided.every kid is so different. some kids are natural introverts. some are more expressive. if the kid seems to get it in other ways, the language will come.
suggesting speech therapy for your nephew could be off-putting. but spending time with him reading books, or buying them books and such would be great. my
my Dad has small trucking company (6-10 trucks) and pays for everything (mostly fuel)using his Discover card. This has accumulated in nearly 10k in Amazon dollars. My Mom recently discovered Amazon and is ecstatic about the rewards money. Hope I get that table saw or full body bear suit i had on my wishlist.

Only 5 Jets games have gone over 42 pts this yearTitans have only scored 24+ points 4 times this year, so basically you're banking on the Jets scoring 3 TDs in the game. Not sure I like that

I can't figure this game out.
Objectively, I would just take the Jets as I think they are a more skilled team.
But I've over-estimated their ability to win too frequently this year, so I do not have an accurate read on them this year. .
I've been a fan of the Houston Oilers Ten Titans for decades, so I am going to just bet as them Mon night home dog. And since betting the over is more fun than the under, so I'll parlay that with Ten for enough to make me have an interest in watching the game... maybe 80 bucks to win 208.

pushing a speech therapist on an 18 month old is a bit over the topLots of misconceptions and anecdotal wisdom about speech delay.

our youngest didn't really say anything til almost 2. doctor kept reminding us that it was no big deal. she's naturally a little more introverted than her attention whoring sister so we expected things to develop more slowly. 2 years + 1 month now and she can curse in 2 languages. wife's friends oldest son didn't say a word til 3. no speech therapy. he's 6 now and a freaking genius. painting all kids with a broad brush is a mistake.my point is people freak out about their kids being "behind" when they are perfectly normal. it's hard enough being a parent without having to constantly worry about your kid in comparison to what someone elses kid is doing. all of them aren't built the same.

Warning Signs of a Possible Problem
If you're concerned about your child's speech and language development, there are some things to watch for.
An infant who isn't responding to sound or who isn't vocalizing is of particular concern. Between 12 and 24 months, reasons for concern include a child who:
isn't using gestures, such as pointing or waving bye-bye by 12 months
prefers gestures over vocalizations to communicate by 18 months
has trouble imitating sounds by 18 months
has difficulty understanding simple verbal requests
Seek an evaluation if a child over 2 years old:
can only imitate speech or actions and doesn't produce words or phrases spontaneously
says only certain sounds or words repeatedly and can't use oral language to communicate more than his or her immediate needs
can't follow simple directions
has an unusual tone of voice (such as raspy or nasal sounding)
is more difficult to understand than expected for his or her age. Parents and regular caregivers should understand about half of a child's speech at 2 years and about three quarters at 3 years. By 4 years old, a child should be mostly understood, even by people who don't know the child.
=================================
What Speech-Language Pathologists Do
If you or your doctor suspect that your child has a problem, early evaluation by a speech-language pathologist is crucial. Of course, if there turns out to be no problem after all, an evaluation can ease your fears.
Although you can seek out a speech-language pathologist on your own, your primary care doctor can refer you to one.
In conducting an evaluation, a speech-language pathologist will look at a child's speech and language skills within the context of total development. Besides observing your child, the speech-language pathologist will conduct standardized tests and scales, and look for milestones in speech and language development.
The speech-language pathologist will also assess:
what your child understands (called receptive language)
what your child can say (called expressive language)
if your child is attempting to communicate in other ways, such as pointing, head shaking, gesturing, etc.
sound development and clarity of speech.
your child's oral-motor status (how a child's mouth, tongue, palate, etc., work together for speech as well as eating and swallowing)
If the speech-language pathologist finds that your child needs speech therapy, your involvement will be very important. You can observe therapy sessions and learn to participate in the process. The speech therapist will show you how you can work with your child at home to improve speech and language skills.
Evaluation by a speech-language pathologist may find that your expectations are simply too high. Educational materials that outline developmental stages and milestones may help you look at your child more realistically.
