Hello everyone! My daughter is 2 years and 2 months old. We speak little, but she understands spoken language very well. She knows how to ask where we're going, what to bring, and similar questions. However, she also says words like 'mama,' 'let's go,' 'give,' 'yum,' 'bird' (that's a bird), 'woof,' 'meow,' and makes gestures to indicate what she needs. She points to everything she wants. I'm worried whether this is normal or not. I would appreciate any advice or reassurance!

Please consult an early intervention specialist; they can help determine if there is a concern.

If you're worried, consider visiting a neurologist. My child didn't speak a single word until age 2, so by my standards, your little one is quite the chatterbox!

Around age 2.6, my son started speaking words, and he had been doing so before that as well. Initially, he didn't want to repeat even animals, only cars. But then he couldn't be stopped! As long as he has speech and makes even small new sounds, everything is fine. Besides that, nothing else seems to bother him.

So, if you say it yourself, it still counts as speaking.

We speak in two and a half words as well, but he understands everything. We've seen many neurologists, and they diagnose ZRR (speech delay), but they don't specify it because he's still young—under 3 years old, so they wait. Only one neurologist advised me that there are rehabilitation centers where children aged 2 to 3 receive developmental support, specifically funded by the government. These centers offer developmental activities and procedures to help improve speech. Ask your pediatrician if such centers are available in your city. After age 3, children can only be admitted to these centers with a psychiatrist’s conclusion, but before age 3, all children with speech delays are accepted.

Sometimes, speech development activities can be helpful.

Both of them spoke very softly and unclearly in the beginning, but by the third time, they suddenly opened up: they started speaking in complete sentences and with meaning.

I believe there are no problems. She understands speech and speaks simple words. The rest will come naturally as she becomes interested in communication and words. Once she has her favorite words, it will be impossible to stop her from chatting! 😊
