Toddler Not Talking Enough Sentences Help
Show your support
Honestly i would encourage you to have conversations with her as if she is able to do it. Asking open ended questions—tell me something fun that happened at school today. Instead of did you have fun at school today. Sometimes they’re just registering things. And will out of nowhere make full sentences.
Every kid is different. My son will be 3 in Dec and asks/answers questions but isn’t quite having conversations. He has a buddy who will be 3 in January and is already saying things like “I like Paw Patrol and my favorite dog is Rebel!” I think the best we can do is narrate what we’re doing and describe everything he can see because they copy everything at this stage.
I think just talking to your kid continually, like narrating what you’re doing. Having conversations with them, asking them questions… anything to get them hearing and thinking about words and sentences. Eventually they will pick up on phrases and how certain words flow together. It’s just that exposure that really helps.

Find out what makes her happy. My daughter is the same way, but I figured out that she loves these Spider-Man popsicles they sell at the store. Every day when I pick her up from school, I ask, ‘Do you want ice cream?’ Now, she reminds me all the time and even tells me what she wants and when she wants it. She started doing this with other stuff and we are able to have a full blown conversations.You have to be engaging—ask her questions and make it a routine.
