Talking?

My son just turned 2 on the 10th. He’s healthy and happy but I don’t feel like he’s talking as much as he should be? But it’s also been a few years since I’ve had a 2 year old and idk if I’m just outta the loop haha. He will say maybe 3-4 words that’s it the rest of it is him showing me what he wants or him “screaming” (they’re kids it’s what they do to a point). Anyone else’s little one not talk much?

Hi Megan, We have a similar situation, but my son had a speech regression. He was talking and then stopped completely saying any words. He’s in an early intervention program now with speech therapy. You are gonna know your son better than anyone else. I would bring it up to his pediatrician and see what they recommend. Sometimes kiddos just need extra time. 💛

Same with my daughter. She understands everything we ask of her in two languages and barely says 3 words. Doctor keeps telling me that she’ll talk when she’s ready

So my son had some words but didn't talk a ton. He did he's own language thing though. It wasn't until his baby sister was born that he really started talking. If you think he's capable just refusing. The best thing you can do is "force" him to talk ... rather then responding to the pointing. Our mothers day out program mentioned the kids said more there then at home because the teachers didn't have time to figure out what a kid wanted so they had to start communicating

We felt the same, and reached out to Early Intervention. Its made a big difference

I do tell him what things are called when he’s asking for things and trying to just point. If he’s not pointing and I ask if he wants so and so he responds to the words so he knows what they are ya know. He just won’t say it haha. He’s super smart when it comes to figure out how to do things so I don’t think it’s that he’s not learning what they mean ya know.

Our sons are bday twins !! But I hear you. My son knows says of words and understands everything but he doesn’t really use sentences. He just says one word demanding but yesterday he said “ i see airplane” and tbh I didn’t catch it, My mom caught it. Because his pronunciation isn’t the best yet. I heard “ i she ehplay” 😂😅 so that got me thinking, has he been saying sentences and I just haven’t been understanding lately !!?

@Megan i pretty sure my daughter couls talk months before she started... i think she knew if she started talking she would have to admit she understood what we were saying... lol
