Ming from Agents of Speech explains why speech-delayed children seem to ignore caregivers and how to fix it. Stop pushing language production and build a playful relationship instead. Give the child reasons to talk: let them hold the camera and pretend to be a YouTuber, co-write scripts together, play games. The back-and-forth happens when the relationship is strong, not when the language is perfect.
If a speech delayed child they're in a position where you're trying to grab their attention trying to get them to a level where you want them to be like in a social dynamic your child doesn't want to talk to you and play with you or whatever because you know that they have to do like this, that and whatever they can feel that you're trying to get them to answer questions get them to like do work get them to talk which is the hardest thing that is in existence to them because it comes so naturally for us but it's very hard for them Teach to provide more value to things that she cared about Teach her new ways to play hold the camera for her so that she could be semi youtuber and show like toys to the camera and play games together write scripts together that's how you start it. If you want to have a back and forth conversation it's up to your relationship with the kid not the kid's language level, right?
