Help, My 2 Year Old Does Not Talk Yet. by Xundi73: 2:40pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Greetings, My family has become very worried because our 2 year old (27 months) son doesn't talk yet and doesn't seem interested in making effort to talk. The only word he says almost correctly is BYE whenever someone is leaving the house. However he has his own version of 'daddy' (ampu) & 'mommy' (mei). He is smart however, but just not interested in talking and sometimes it appears he does not understand when you give him instructions, other times he'd do exactly what you ask him to do. He plays well with his older siblings who started talking well before 2. We have ruled out hearing issues as he seems to hear when music or sounds he likes come on tv, he would start dancing to music he likes even if he's not seeing the TV. Has anyone here had experience like this? Should we be more worried? What can we do to help our son start talking. Mods please help put this on front page so we can get enough help/opinions - thanks.

This can be as a result of different languages being spoken at home, confusing the child which language to pick or understand. Imagine the parents speaking indigenous language to themselves and speaking “irregular” English Language to the child. That is so much an enough confusion. 3 Likes |

Xundi73:Im sorry to ask this question sir. Hope there is no difference in the spoken English accent you both speak at home? This may cause confusion also. But sincerely, if your son isn’t deaf and dumb, he will still talk. Just give him the time, the boy is just 2years for goodness sake 3 Likes |

Because you see that your fellow counterpart's thread was moved to front page, you now remember that your 2 year old can't talk abi? Do you expect your toddler to speak perfect diction? Leave that child alone, not all 2 year olds is expected to say out complete sentences. 14 Likes |

The other one, 3 years old can not read and write. This one, 2 years old can not say anything aside "bye". It seems you all expect your children to be Albert Einstein right from the womb. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Your son doesn't seem to have any developmental delays from your story but is just a slow starter which is normal for some kids. You've got nothing to worry about,your child will pick up at his own time. 1 Like |

JovialJune:Thanks for your comments. 1. I just registered today, I have used nairaland as a guest member for some time. 2. I opened this to seek opinions to calm the wife's mind. I'm not at all worried like her. I myself didn't stand or walk until I was more than a year old. 3. I don't expect perfect diction or a sentence from him. If you read our worries objectively you'd have seen the part that I mentioned he is not interested in talking or making efforts at all. Again thanks for your comment 2 Likes |

Amotolongbo:No accents except Nigerian accent Thank you for your words |
Re: Help, My 2 Year Old Does Not Talk Yet. by Xundi73: 3:39pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Karleb:LOL, thank you for your comment. That's not our expectation. The worry part stems from his lack of interest is trying to produce a sound or even blabbering except for bye, ampu for daddy and mei for mommy. He would rather not make any sound or show interest in listening when you try to talk to him or get him to do anything. 2 Likes |
