Red Flag #3:
By 18 months, if your toddler is not following simple directions and understanding names of familiar objects when you name them, it’s time to go see a speech-language pathologist.
Your toddler should easily follow one-step commands by 18 months of age, possibly even two- step commands. For example, one-step direction: pick up the ball, or two- step direction: pick up the ball and put it on the table.
