Every parent eagerly waits to hear their child’s first words – a sweet “mama” or “papa” that fills the home with joy. But when speech takes longer than expected, parents often begin to worry: Is this delay normal, or is it something that needs attention?
At Bhavana Hearing, we understand how confusing and stressful speech delays can feel. That’s why we have created this detailed guide on Speech Delay in Children: When to Worry and What to Do.
In this video/article, we explain:
What speech delay really means and how it is different from simply being a “late talker.”
The close link between hearing and speech development – and why a child’s hearing should always be checked first.
Key speech milestones by age, and when parents should seek professional advice.
Common causes of delayed speech, including hearing loss, developmental differences, and environmental factors.
Practical tips and activities parents can try at home to encourage speech and language.
When to consult a pediatrician, audiologist, or speech therapist for timely support.
At Bhavana Hearing, our goal is to help children hear better, speak better, and live more confidently. With early identification and the right guidance, most children with speech delays can catch up and thrive.
