i have a 2 year old son and i noticed that at his age there's a problem with his speech,until now he only say mommy and milk and most of the time he is shouting because i didn't understand what he likes. I am really upset because i am afraid that he might have a behavioral problem. Please help me! I want him to grow like a normal child.

Have no fear.
All children develop at different speed's/age's and he may be slow/lazy.
My son who is 2 in 11 day's time is in a similar situation to your son. He can say about 12 word's. We took him to a doctor's who refered us to speech/hearing test's. The hearing test he passed fine, and the speech came back as mild developmental delay. This may catch up over time or infact he may be a bit behind his peer's all through his life, they dont know, they have to see how he progreses.
My advice for you would be to go to the doctor's and ask for a hearing/speech assesment to be done.

Thanks for the message..we already went to behavioral doctor and the my son undergone hearing test but the doctors said there's no problem with it..the doctor advised me to enroll my child to nursery class to have social interaction since the only problem of my son according to the doctor is interaction because he is my only child....Thanks God because my son is normal...thanks
