"It worked for my child. Took him back to Nigeria, and on his first day at school he returned home saying ‘bye bye’. He finally started speaking after he clocked 2. Also took him to children department during church services. Limited screen time. Now he rambles like a generator."

@KOKO_DE_KOKOLET reacted:

"With time he will communicate. I am a mom to a child in the autism spectrum. So I understand how feel."

"Yes, yes, yes. When parents come to me about their child not speaking, one of the questions I ask is “have you enrolled your child in school?” amongst many others. Social interaction plays a vital role in building communication skills."

@TOLANI added:

"He will get to speak mama, just take him to a Nigeria school that won’t treat him bad and also make him watch bluey or Baby Signing Time / Signing Time or even SpongeBob."
