Help - 2 and a half toddler concerns
Answered 5 years ago
My toddler is 2 and a half.
Always talking/babbling ( you can’t understand it’s his own language ) he can count to 10 and learns things from monkey see monkey do BUT he can’t talk like other kids and can’t comprehend things.
If I say “go pick up your toys” or “would you like a drink” “are you hungry” he won’t do it and can’t awsner back but if I put one toy away he will understand and put them all away. If I put food in front of his face and kind saying yes he try’s and says “yessyesyes”. He laughs and smiles a lot and always has a lot of energy but lately been having meltdowns where he just wants to hit things and throw his head into walls ect.
My son gets chronic ear infections and has since he was 1 the last few weeks he has been on three rounds of antibiotics and can’t fight it now, he is going to see a ent next week.
Has anyone been a similar position?
Have an answer?

His actions would be typical of frustration and / or pain.
Lots of kids have ear problems, and some have to have grommets inserted to drain their ears.
Without it they can end up with permanent hearing impairments, and that will hinder their progress at school.
ENT should be able to sort it out.
One of mine had ear infections, but the antibiotics worked for him.
