Hi there,

My two sons talked at very different ages (one was well before 2 and the other well after 2).
I myself didn't talk til I was 3! I had an older brother and sister to do my bidding for me (and presumably, didn't feel the need to speak much).
I even remember my mum taking me to see somebody about it and screaming the whole time.
Don't let your family make you feel bad for being proactive and checking it out - best case scenario is that everything's fine and you don't have to worry and worst case scenario - your son might need help with some area and you can get onto it earlier, rather than later. A few friends have kids who have had trouble hearing, which has affected their speech development.
Mums know best, so just do what is right for you and your son
Wishing you all the best!
