2 Year Old Babbles But Doesn T Talk. He understands our commands and questions. However delays in communication either the ability to understand or use spoken language can signal more serious problems. What he does do is HUM. I first became concerned around his second birthday and although the number of singular words he says has increased he doesnt pronounce half of them correctly and the connective words he uses are just nonsense.
He doesnt talk babbles a lot though and has a couple of animal sounds down and wont copy or try to imitate any words Im saying hell sometimes copy random sounds eg. If your child isnt showing these signs of readiness you may want to make an appointment for a speech and hearing screening. Since your daughter is almost 2 you can review typical speech milestones at this link. He understands but just doesnt talk much. Children who arent yet talking and dont grunt are more likely to later be diagnosed with a language delay. He babbles jibberish constantly so I know hes trying but he just cant make out the words.
In addition if you are using baby signs then those signs should be recognizable and distinct versus simply pointing or waving.
I first became concerned around his second birthday and although the number of singular words he says has increased he doesnt pronounce half of them correctly and the connective words he uses are just nonsense. By about 2 years of age she should have transitioned into using more words than gestures. According to the speech experts Ive either read or spoken to a two-year-old boy who doesnt talk is not unusual. Unless a primary caregiver communicates using signs your childs sole method of communicating with you should not be with gestures. My 2 year old hums and babbles but doesnt talk. I have a two year old just turned two boy that doesnt speak much.
