Sam and Ren McEntee were aged 17 months when their parents took a video of them excitedly nattering away to each other in their kitchen at home. The video has captured the hearts of millions around the world because of their seemingly adult mannerisms. Despite the fact that neither baby can utter a comprehensible single word, it appears that they both understand exactly what the other is trying to convey. You can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY
In the UK, speech and language therapy for children under the age of 5 is readily available, both on the NHS and with independent private practices such as Integrated Treatment Services. Research has consistently shown that if a child develops a speech and/or language difficulty, therapy will be of most benefit to them before they reach the age of 5. If you feel that your child may benefit from some speech and language input, I.T.S. could be of help. Contact Sarah Davis here: https://integratedtreatmentservices.co.uk/contact-us/enquiry/
