Ap ka concern bilkul valid hai. 19 months ki age tak bachay aam tor pe 10 se 50 words bol rahay hotay hain, aur kuch do lafzon ka jumla bhi banana shuru kar detay hain (jaise “mama aao” ya “pani do”).

Agar apki beti sirf 5 words bol rahi hai lekin sab kuch samajhti hai, kaam karwa leti hai, aur ishare karti hai — to iska matlab hai ke uski samajh (receptive language) theek chal rahi hai lekin bolne (expressive language) mein thori si delay hai.

Yeh time perfect hai early speech therapy start karne ka — abhi se madad milay gi to zyada asar hoga, aur baad mein zyada struggle nahi hoga.

My recommendation:

Yes, consider starting early speech therapy or at least consult a certified SLP for a developmental screening.
Therapy at this stage is often play-based, gentle, and highly effective.
In the meantime, use a lot of one-on-one talking time, narrate everything, repeat key words, and encourage her to use words instead of gestures.
You're not too early — you're right on time. Trust your gut as a mother. Let’s support her communication before frustration builds up or the delay becomes more significant.

Yes, early intervention is recommended if your 19-month-old child is speaking only a few words. Here's why:

✅ What’s Expected at 18–24 Months:

Most children by this age:

Say 10–50 words

Begin to use two-word phrases like “more juice” or “mama come”

Understand simple directions like “get your shoes”

Point to objects or pictures when named


? When to Consider Early Intervention:

You should seek professional advice if your child:

Says fewer than 10 words

Doesn’t try to imitate sounds or words

Rarely uses gestures (like pointing or waving)

Doesn’t respond to name or simple instructions

Shows frustration often when trying to communicate


✅ Benefits of Early Intervention:

Helps build strong communication skills early

Supports brain development during the most critical years

Prevents delays from getting worse

Improves confidence and social interaction


?‍⚕️ What You Can Do Now:

1. Get a speech and language assessment by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP).


2. Use simple, clear speech and talk to your child often.


3. Read picture books and label everything.


4. Respond enthusiastically to any attempt your child makes to speak or gesture.

Try to avoid her needs to be fulfilled through gestures.. start playing simple and easy games either physical or mental level.. like blocks building, hide and seek, playing football etc.. and during these joint play use different easy words/vocabulary as many times as you can.. so she can learn through play activities
