How to Get Your 24 Mth Old to Talk? Posted: 08-15-07 07:04am
My son just turned 2, he doesnt use any
real words, he says stop it sounds like
"dobit" but i dont think he understands
what it means because sometimes he will
say it and just go "dobit dobit dobit"
repetitively. He understands some things,
i ask him wanna take a bath and he will go
upstairs and i hand him the diapers and he
goes upstairs to the bathroom to take a
bath. i ask him give mommy kisses and most
of the time he will. But he doesnt speak,
at 8 mths he said kitty cat sounded like
"kih kah" he doesnt say it anymore. he
used to say byebye too but only said it
once in the past 6 mths. Other then that
he really doesnt say any real words, he
blabs in his own language. I have flash
cards i try and work with him to point
things out and say them but he usually
throws the cards on the floor . I ask him
to say things to but its not working, i
just dunno what else to do to get him to
talk. he has his 2 yr checkup next week
and i plan on asking the pediatrician as
well. It seems he is delayed in speech.
When he wants juice he hands me his sippy
cup then when i get up he runs to the
kitchen to get his juice or milk, when i
give him things i say things like heres
your juice etc. but still he doesnt talk.
I know that all kids develope differently
but i dont want to not do anything and
wait then something was really wrong and i
didnt do anything. Its hard to find out
what is available since i am overseas on a
military base, so we are limited to what
is available on base as well since i am in
germany. Does anyone have any ideas to
help him out?
