You can also see there's a limited variety in babbling and you will also see that babbling is reduced in terms of the frequency because children who are typically developing to babble a lot and they use a lot of sounds to play by themselves and learn and actually practice themselves. Right. The last thing I really want to talk about is if your child has any vowel errors. Let's say that if you tell them to say get, they say, yeah, like that. Totally wrong. Then please go see a speech therapist immediately to check out how much they can actually imitate and so on.
