If you are worried take him to a speech pathologist, the can either assist his speech or put your mind at ease. All of mine were talks at different ages.

All children are different. But if you are really concerned i would get him checked out.

Great! Really very interesting comments on this!

Not sure really all my 3 sons where talking well and master 23 months old is putting words together but all kids are different don’t stress it will come.

You have to sit with him a repeat words over and over again.

Honestly please don’t worry. My son turned two in January snd has only just started speaking but not putting sentences together. They all start in their own time

dont worry about a thing..

I have plenty of friends with 2 yo who are still babbling… DOn’t worry!

How is he going with his speech now?

How is he now? I would suggest having him around other small children – day care/occasional care. I’m sure it will pick up once he goes to kinder.

I would hope he is speaking better now. If he’s still not starting, I would speak to a speech therapist .

I hope all goes well for you and his speech is progressing x

Technically it would be considered behind in speech but my son is very similar and so are the vast majority of boys I know. You could get him checked if you’re worried.

If you’re really worried get him checked but that sounds very similar to my son, hes 2.5 years old now and has had a word explosion, is saying things much more clearly, and starting to string sentences together. I was starting to get a little worried because he has been a bit slower with talking than my daughter was but hes progressing slowly and steadily.

Take him to the park where he can meet other children and talk to them You too can ask him a question which requires an answer

If you are really worried see a doctor, but I was quite surprised with my niece (who is also almost 2 years old) that when she talks you can understand very little of hat she is saying. As long as your kid has enough language skills to let you know what they need, I would not stress too much. To encourage more vocalisation and new words, try reading them a new book once a week. The more words they hear, the more words they can learn.

If your worried visit a paediatrician to find out

I can remember having anxiety about both my son’s speech development around that age. And now they are complete chatterboxes. I remember worrying about it with my mum (my son didn’t babble how I imagined babbling should be, so I was worried about that) and she was so unconcerned that I relaxed about it. But if you do have concerns, as we always like to say, ask your doc!

if ur worred id see ur doctor bout it but i think its nothing to worry about.. my DD never realky stared talking till she wss 2.5 an now she is 3 u csnt shut her up.

by all means go and seek professional advice. As I put on another post, My eldest had issues and could not say mummy until he was 2 and a half (thought said daddy from he was about 9 months.) The other 3 I watched and my youngest just turned 2 and has a few words, but since he is alert and understands us, and comes out with a new word every couple of day, I am not worried at all yet. He knows Mummy and thank you and please. What else does a 2 year old have to say :o)
