Topic: My daughter is almost 3 and not talking yet

My daughter Kayla will be three in March. Currently she is saying hello,bye-bye,papa,grandma,night-night,thank you,and some other words. The problem is she is not putting the words together. She has just started to try to repeat certain things I am saying, but not much though. I read to her, gotten flash cards, and even brought some toddler computer games for her. Nothing seems to be working. This is my first child. I am getting quite concerned because other children that we are around are talking. what can I do?????? Please Help!! Thank you

Have you had a lot of problems with ear infections? Talk to your pediatrician about his/her suggestions. You can also take a look at other topics posted on this forum that deal with this issue. One good one is titled "Speech and Language Help on the Web".
