Problem solving the frugal way.
One of the problems I have is that I tend to look for solutions to problems that involve spending money.
So now I have a problem, my 16th month old will not talk, his only word, whish he used once in a blue moon (maybe once every other week) is "No"
He does not say mom, or water or mama, or agua (Spanish for water) nothing, nada.
The first solutions I thought about? Speech therapy, and then, by googling my problem, I am presented to a world of products from books to DVDs, and also kits and courses to help toddlers figure out speech. My credit cards are tingling...
But I stepped back and one of the centers I called directed me to a free service by the State of Florida. I am navigating their system. They are all very nice, but each number I call directs me to a new one.
While that is rolling I still want to find games I can do with my son at home as it relates to speech, talking, etc.
What are frugal solutions to my dilemma?
