VerifiedHello and Thank You for using Just Answer. All children develop their oral language skills at different rates. It is hard to say that there is a problem especially when you do not see him on a daily basis. Many children, especially boys, blossom with their speech at the age of three and even a little beyond. They may seem to babble and mimic words and then it is almost as if overnight they start to talk in sentences. If your daughter is keeping up with your grandson's routine check ups, then one should not be concerned just yet. If he was around the age of 4 and still not speaking, then a speech therapist should be seen to evaluate your grandson. However, hopefully he is receiving a great deal of social interaction with verbal exchanges with children as well as adults. Tell your mom that she need not be concerned right now. As for the discipline issue, hopefully your grandson is hearing more than just the word "No" from his mother. Children are such observational learners and need a great deal of positive guidance as they mature.
Have a great evening!
