The process of our children learning to talk is one that most parents follow closely. Although all children develop their speech at their own speed, problems with learning to speak can also be a sign of a number of different other health issues.

Some of these issues can be due to a physical problem, whereas others can be due to oral-motor conditions. If it appears to you that your child is having challenges with the development of their speech, you should always speak to your doctor.

CBD – or cannabidiol – is often hailed as the cure-all essential oil, and some have suggested that it could be helpful for children who have issues with speech delay. Of course, its efficacy will depend on the reasons behind the child’s speech delay. Although there has still been limited scientific research into this, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence from parents to suggest that it could help.
