My 2.3-year-old son only says 1 or 2 letter words like mummy, papa, ayu, bhavu. He also mixes up words, saying 'taj' instead of 'raj.' His pediatrician suggested surgery for extra skin under his tongue is this really necessary? What else can I do to help his speech development?

- Buy simple cardboard books like animals, fruits,transport books and read together, this will improve vocabulary. Then buy books like Bubble series.. and together read every night . Also ,Singing rhymes with actions is fun way to improve language. 2.Talk to him everything you are doing in daily activities eg: if you are chopping veggies, tell him so.. 3.Send him to Play group/preschools. 4. Wait for a month and If this doesn't help then go to pediatricians to evaluate in details.

View allCan parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?
Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.
