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

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
