​If you are worried about your child not talking – 

See if you are making these 5 BIG MISTAKES

And STOP

MISTAKE 1
Feeding your child pureed food

Stop now!
Biting and chewing develop the muscles required for speaking.
Start offering food with various textures and tastes
.
MISTAKE 2 
Using a sippy cup

Stop now!
A sippy cup prevents the development of the mature swallow pattern required for speaking.
Start using a regular glass.

MISTAKE 3
Wiping your child’s face as soon as there is food on it.

Stop now!
Left to themselves children slowly learn to close their lips to keep the food in. This builds the lip muscles for speech 
Start encouraging self feeding

MISTAKE 4
Distract feeding your child with the mobile or TV.

Stop now!
The mobile or TV hamper the development of social skills and communication skills.
Start eating with your child and chat with them while eating

MISTAKE 5 
Scolding your child for not finishing their food

Stop now!
When a child is not allowed to trust their own body’s signals of fullness and hunger, they lose confidence and stop talking.
Start giving your child the freedom to decide how much they will eat.

Don’t base your parenting practices and decisions on what others are doing or saying 
What you think is best for your child may be causing a big problem for your child.

Think about parenting in the context of neuroscience and brain development.
