Language delay
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I understand your concern..
I have few questions and suggestions for you -
1. What is his birth weight and current weight?
2. When did he start walking?
3. Did he cry immediately after birth or did he require any special assistance to take the first breath?
4. How long does he see television or tablet or cartoons per day?
5. Did any one of the parents' had a speech delay as children?
6. How many word s does he speak as of now- I mean his vocabulary consists of how many words?
Suggestions:
1. I suggest you are doing great by singing rhymes to him.
2. Do not use tablet or computer or TV or laptop for doing that.
3. Do not force him too much comparing him with others.
4. He might get benefited by speech therapy, but before that kindly get back with the answers to my above questions.

*** I feel like my son is slower than other at his age.Before he turn 18-20 monts. He didnt get what I asked him to,like get bottle, diaper, etc. , he not pointing, not knowing how to answer the toy phone, not looking when I point to thing, doesnt care to response when call( he doesnt care , he does response when he wants to).And after 20,, after he back from state fair, he catched up. He can play puzzle when he never play before, he can put in the right shape, color which he never touch them before, he respones to whst I asked like get his toy , jacket, stuffs. He even tried to put on his shoes. I read him book but he doesnt really like sitting there and listen, if it is book in ipad , he will listen and when I asked him like whst piggy do, he grab a pig and shiw me piggy eating like in the story.

Definite language delay - needs speech therapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi...I went through your reply in detail. Actually I am happy that you have given me all the required information.
I feel that your son has a speech delay definitely and he will definitely get benefited by speech therapy.
The reasons could be -
1. Three languages being spoken at home, he might be getting confused.
2. Laptop and tablet - the issue with these gadgets is that, these make the kids understand the circumstances well according to the wordings, but the gadgets wont speak back and the it wont be giving kids an idea that they should interact.
