[QUOTE="nvts, post: 400510, member: 3814"] Music is a wonderful tool for communication. You might even get him to "sing-song" different words to you. Little silly rhyming word songs might get his attention. If he is on the spectrum, try playing with different textured materials and see if he might have some sensory issues. Do tags on his clothess drive him nuts? Certain types of food set him off? Textures can be a huge issue. Believe it or not, sitting with him in a high chair and playing with play-doh, theraputty, moon dough, etc (non-toxic - some of these little buggers - like my 2 year old daughter-stick EVERYTHING in her mouth!) lets him use his imagination, tone the muscles in his hands and allow him to explore new things. Building blocks, mega blocks, etc. can be fun if you can engage him in these things. It helps him manipulate and helps his fine-motor. Have you called Early Intervention? You don't need a diagnosis and if you get approved, you can get Speech, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, etc. at no cost to you AND they do it in your home with your input and supervision. It might also help him acclimate to new people. He'll age out at 3, but then the Dept. of Education sets this stuff up for you. I don't know if you're in the US, but if you are, I can help you search it on-line OR you can call your pediatrician. It's 11:00 here, the snow is blowing pretty hard, so I have to get up at the crack of dawn to dig us out, so I'm jumping off now. Welcome to the crowd! You sound like you've got your hands full and we're all here to lend a shoulder! Feel better - you've got us in your corner now! :hugs: Beth [/QUOTE]
