Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If he is the first child and if his exposed to multilingual society around, he picks up speech very late.
Some children develop speech by 3 or 3 and half years.
Food fads are common at that age and mother has to take more time and persuade him to eat with tender loving care.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
