development of speech in a toddler?

My grandson is 19 months old and the only problem he has is that his speech has not progressed. He makes grunting sounds. And does not open his mouth to speak. It is like he tries to say words but does not want to open his mouth. What does this mean. Is there a possibility that it might be genetic since when I was a child I stuttered, but my daughter does not stutter. Why does he not want to open his mouth to talk. Everything else about him is ok just his speech.

He is able to communicate his needs sufficiently so he does not see a need to talk. My youngest son is now 25 months, and just starting to form a full variety of words. I learned quickly what his grunts and eh’s meant, so he had no need to talk. He also has a brother that is 23 months older than him who did a lot of talking for him.

Give him time, I’m sure he will start to form words in his own time, and if you’re super concerned about it, contact a pediatrician and ask if it is something that needs to be addressed.

Best wishes!
