My son only says 20 owrds at 22 months old, should I be worried?
Answer:
please don't worry about it. kids do things in their time
he not even 2 i think that's pretty good be happy some kids don't talk until there 3
just enjoy him he will be grown in a blink of an eye
PS when he starts to talk youll be thinking i miss it he when he couldn't talk lol
My son was three before he had a good vocabulary. Now I can't get him to stop talking. Stop worrying...kids develop at their own pace.
No need to be woried at this age, if by 2 1/2 years it is the same then maybe you should just get it checked out, but you are likely just to be told that toddlers develop at different stages. My oldest at 18 months says 8 words, but babbles on in long tirades like I know what he is on about!
Your son is perfectly normal. Not many 22 months can use full sentences and make full conversations just yet. Children go at their own pace..many children at that age can talk..but won't just yet. Relax..your child sounds fine.
well, somehow I have the feeling that when he reaches 24 months, he'll be like my "SHMOLTZ", and start blabbering away, as soon as he gets around other kids, he'll be fine ! just keep an eye on it, and get a second opinion from another doctor. My Dad was a Dr, a GREAT Dr., they are not always right (how ever hard they hit me).
Boys are usually slow starters, as far as speaking goes.
Boys sometimes start talking "very well" later than girls. This usually isn't cause for concern. If he can say words clearly without sounding like he has a speech impediment and he knows what you are saying (even though he doesn't repeat most of it) it shouldn't be a problem. I mean, if he knows what you are talking about that means he is grasping it, right? My daughter is 13 months and she already says about 20 words, but I've noticed that when I'm trying to teach her to say new words, she just moves her mouth without speaking. I think I've figured it out...she is just trying to perfect the sound and the movement under her breath before she actually says something.
If your son is saying 20 words, that's not bad. If I were you, I'd follow your doctor's advise and see a speech therapist...but this is only to get a second opinion just in case. Better safe than sorry.
No need to worry. When he starts talking you're going to wish he would stop!
Was he premature?My daughter was 8 weeks early and could only say a handful of words at 24 months.Her doctor said that her speech was impaired due to being premature.As my daughter got older,her vocabulary increased,but she was still having difficulty getting words out.She began to get frustrated because other children/people couldn't understand her.My local school offered a free early preschool/kindergarten program for children with delayed speech.My daughter worked hand and hand with a therapist daily.As her vocabulary and pronunciation improved, so didn't her confidence.My daughter is now 11 and hard to keep quiet.She recently ran for student body president and gave a 10 minute speech in front of her whole school.My thought in this whole situation is that if speech therapy is going to help your child function better in society and boost his confidence,then why not give it a go?
