Question 1

What age should child be talking whole sentences?

Accepted Answer

Most children are speaking in full sentences between 2 1/2 - 3 years old.  Children begin with single words and a lot of repeating what they hear around 15-18 months.  Short 2-3 word phrases begin around 2 years of age.  If a child is not speaking, talk to your pediatrician.  Your child may need a speech therapy evaluation.

Question 2

Is it ok for my child to not be talking by the age of 3yo?

Accepted Answer

The normal three year old speeks & understands hundreds of words, speeks in phrases & short sentences and should be understood 75% of the time by strangers. If this is not the case, contact your local school district special services section to schedule an evaluation. A checkup & hearing evaluation are also in order.

Question 4

I had dorsal slit when i was a child(i dont remember my age at the time).
my parents dont talk about these things as they belong to a conservative family. does dorsal slit have any disadvantages over circumcised penis?

Accepted Answer

I believe the dorsal slit was the first & quickest method of circumcision practiced before equipment advances allowed a simple 360 degree foreskin removal. The procedure allowed better access for cleaning & prevented a problem called paraphimosis where the glans could become trapped & loose blood supply. It evolved to a more cosmetic procedure. Peoples preference varies.

...To begin answering that type of question is when your child begins asking them.  When s/he asks, s/he is ready to hear the answer.

Accepted Answer

If you're smart enough to have discovered healthtap, chances are you've already able to handle sex education in your home -- and it's critical you do so.

Question 10

What if my child doesn't like talking very much, he is 5, does he have a language problem?

Accepted Answer

Normal language in a 5 yr old has a good vocabulary, speaks words that are clearly understood by strangers & the arrangement of those words follow the expected pattern.( yoda in star wars has strange word sequence).To enjoy talking, a child needs the skill & self confidence within the group involved. Public schools have programs to asses kids for s&l needs & can separste the s&l issue from others.
