The average number of words based on age
12 mos = 2-6 other than mama and dada
15 mos = 10 words
18 mos = 50 words
24 mos = 200-300 words
30 mos = 450 words
36 mos (3 years) = 1,000 words
Early intervention for children is super important and I love sharing fun kids' activities that parents and therapists can use at home.

My sister didn't talk until she was 3! And there was no problem, she was just a late talker. Everyone develops at their own pace.
Reading this make me feel so much better my daughter is 20 month old has not said a word and I’m just so scared she will be so far behind but your comment gives me home
what was she doing before that, babbling ?
Now she is speaking
My grandson will be 3 in February and says nothing just jargon ..😏😏😏
It's TRUE, but a lot of people simply dont understand that you aren't speaking enough TO the child. Instead we're talking FOR them and taking what we know they are trying say.
This isnmy sons problem. Will be 3 in a few weeks.
Well, he is talking, but it's all blurred. No consonants.all vowels.
I work a lot, the oldest isnt as helpful. Basic teenager, mother imdpes that thing where she gets it, so she just follows, never really correcting.
I know he'll get where he needs to be but if the set up around him was kore oriented for his help, he'd already be speaking volumes, like other kids his age I've seen that are CLEARLY speaking.
You can see the interactions and the influences they have.
According to my aunt and parents, I started to talk between 3-4 years old. Everyone has their own pace.
Same to my daughter ,she started talking at 2 that made me confused however she is at 4 now started to speak still behind her school kids , i hope she will do it soon , thx your comment give me some confident that is normal as i though alwys
My younger sister did not talk until she turned almost 4. Consulted a lot of doctors until then. They all said she will speak not to worry. Now she is in HR ND and is a non stop chatter box
Was going to say or ask this too
My son his 3 years he can call mom dad and her sister but can talk much can sing song from TH-cam aswel just communication is a problem am worried and praying to God for a miracle
My baby is two years four months old she's not yet talking anything.. She's telling only meeeee meeeee meeeee for everything.. I'm worried lot
As a parent I think speech therapists are grossly underappreciated. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much! :)
They actually charge the same as psychologists
I agree
As a speech therapist , I agree
@@saeedimani3759, thanks for the work you do.
I have 2 sons with autism, and I wouldn't have coped without the support of speech therapists!
They are in their 20s now, and are both university graduates! They were given a solid foundation when they were given speech therapy. One of my sons even graduated with first class honours!!!!!
The work you do is important to the future of the kids. Thanks again! ❤️
This pandemic doesn't help me get my child be social. With the lock down and social distancing. He lacks the social skills. Of course he's fine with me and dad but he's not used to being around other people and he doesn't seem like he's interested...
AJ, it really is a struggle right now.
This is my child as well! He has to get used to someone new at first. Has not spoken one single word and is 14 months. But seems to be developing in everything else.
Same with me
Same goes to my daughter at 1 year old.
Same 😔 it's so depressing. No mommy meet up groups nothing. I try my best but my little one is missing out on so much
My son was a pandemic kid, we live in melbourne australia where we had the longest lockdown in the world. Basically lived all his life for most part lockdown, while he developed really well he is struggling with speech he is almost 2 now only says mama dada and one word “car” that’s all, we are now seeking a speech therapist for him, we are not alone many lockdown kids are same.
Yep. Same with my son. First time I took him out at 3 he was asking about the weird lights on the floor. He had never seen florescent lights before. 🥺 He's an extrovert so it was super tough on him. He has speech issues as well.
My lock down baby is doing the same
That’s so true my daughter also only says mama and dada and she’s 2 year one month I’m really concerned now 😞😞
Same in here my son is 22 months old and doesn’t use words yet. But also he doesn’t say mama nor dada:(We had a nasty lockdown in Singapore also :(
Same with sister, she is only 2 born in the Covid year, and the only thing says are “mama” “dada” and a little more words..
To everyone who might need to hear it on this thread: if you see signs of autism in your child, it may be because of too much screen time. Please search "virtual autism" as it has become very common during this pandemic. My child has all the symptoms but when taken off all the screens, he has started getting better (especially at eye contact and socialising). Good luck to all of us in this pandemic world.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you
Thank you
You gave me a new hope
That's exactly what happened to my son. Cut off nearly any screentime ( only half an hour in the morning and another half in the evening before bedtime stories) and it's made a huge difference. And it's inly been one week. He even started napping again and his night terror have almost entirely subsided. There is still a lot of work to be done, but he is slowly thriving.
Thank you so much for this! My daughter is all like that except that she can do hand gestures like bye bye, flying kiss, gesturing 'where?', eyes blinking, etc.
Same as my baby how old is she now?
Don't pressure urself mother. We all feel the same way. we just need to be patient and stay communicating to our child. My son is 2 years and 8months old. He only speak few words which he only heard from us daily so we always try to teach him new words and gestures to communicate with us. We don't rush him to speak coz he understands us in some ways and he's a smart kid and always curious in everything. He can manage anything by himself like pulling a chair and climb up the table to get a glass of water or putting his toys on his bag after playing etc.
There are definitely a lot of pressures on mothers, you are doing great teaching his and being patient with him.
This video and your comments gives me hope. I’m so stressed over the fact the my son is 2 years old and is hardly speaking clearly. Often times he’s babbling. Whenever he wants your attention he will take your hand and pull you towards whatever he wants.
I can also see the frustration on his face because I know he wants to talk so we can understand.
Thank you for watching I am glad this gives you hope. I hope my channel helps.
Heyyy same with my son. When he wants milk he will take my hand and lead me to where his milk bottles are. He's copying gestures, copying dances on youtube it's just that he dont talk much but he can say some words like dont, come, red, blue etc and some letters on abc
I'm in the same boat. My son jus turned 2 a couple of weeks ago and does that exact thing...
Same here dear, can't wait till he starts talking
My son does the exact same thing. No matter how much we try, he just takes our hand or pushes us to the thing he wants. He just turned two and he barely says couple of words. Reading comments here makes me feel not as stressed about the matter, knowing we are not alone.
I have my 2 year old in early intervention. She has taught me lots of exercises that I do with my some of random times of the day. He really loves the interaction and engagement. He thinks it’s fun and probably isn’t aware that he’s learning. I see the progress little by little everyday so I’m completely encouraged to take 10 mines out the day a few times a day and sing sings and teach him words and phrases. He may not say the words but I can hear him babbling the melody. It’s so cute. I taught him to clap today which is big bc soon he will see that as a way to show excitement. Slowly he’s checking his milestones off the chart.
Hi Shantiqua! That is amazing! So glad to hear. A little work every day can make a HUGE difference! :)
I think speech issues are the hardest thing for both kids and parents to go through. I never realized how difficult the English language is to speak until I had kids. It has caused so much frustration. It effects literally everything.
I always worry if kids will make fun of him or if the teacher won't like him if she can't understand him. I didn't discipline him correctly as a toddler bc he didn't speak and I didn't know if he understood the rules. So this led to behavior issues. I even regret his name bc he can't say it. He can write it though. He yells at us sometimes bc "we can't hear him" so I have to explain it's annunciation, not sound. We spent literally 20 min. trying to decipher "look at that dirt pile" while driving on the highway. 🤣 I try to make a joke out of it, but then worry he's looking at it like teasing. Just a lot of emotions with it. I know it's common and most kids outgrow it. It's just frustrating, especially when I see 1 year olds talking in complete sentences. My kid didn't talk until he was close to 3.
I never knew "ah" for things wasn't so normal! That as well as the other signs is what my 2.5 year old does!
Thankyou sooooo much for this!!!
You're so welcome!
You are wonderful excellent information
I am a speech therapist from Egypt
Thank You So Much, you gave us hope. 💓
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much ☺️ you make me feel relief.
Happy to help!
The way our pediatrician mentioned to us is that yes in many cases the baby or toddler will catch up on their own BUT the thought is the things that seem behind some to do speech, physical therapy or both so that when you get to pre-k the child worse case is even to ahead of the curve instead of counting on catching up naturally and being behind the curve. Then everything can amplify in a negative and bigger way when they go to pre-k.
Thanks for the perspective.
Agreed! Very helpful!!!
So glad!
Would love to see a collab with you and a child psychologist talking about some of the differences between speech delay and things like autism or attachment disorders in toddlers.
My 3 year old can only say mama ,milk what will i do
Yes, this is my son. He just turned 2 years old over the weekend, and really only says Mama.
If you can I would see out an evaluation for him, just so you know! Check out the free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
My kid also
How’s he doing now?
My son just turned 12 months and he still hasn’t said mama. ☹️🙄
@@tinyking11 me too ☹️
Omg youre whole video is for me i swear! My son is 21mo and doesnt say words. He babbles like no others business, but doesnt say any words. He is VERY aggressive and has slapped me right in the face! I can tell he is frustrated that he cant speak. Its alot of dadadadadauuuhhuhuhhh.. or varying pitches of uhhh.. and yayayayayayayayayamamamamamamaaa.but cant make the p or w sound. We had an evaluation last week, so hopefully well be seeing a speech therapist soon. They said there is only one in our town. I work with him at home and watch ms. Rachel on youtube. Pray for us.
Hi! I hope speech therapy goes well!
This video was amazing thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the second sign
my daughter is 2.5 years old she says her ABC"s and can count 1-10 , she just babbles otherwise i was recommended that she get an eval.. so speech therapy and occupational therapy will be starting soon...I really feel that she knows a lot and is fully aware she just cant let it out yet and she will when she's ready Lord willing.
Hi Hermine, YES I would also recommend an evaluation. If you are also looking to help at home I have a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do. Check out my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
How is your daughter doing now?
My Son is turning 2 next month .He could read A to Z and 1 to 10 when he was 15 months old .He not talking , Sometimes he just says “No “ and “wait “.Most of the time he say ABC . When I called his name he don’t respond .Sometime he not interested what happened to other people.
(When he was until 12 months he is normal baby , he responded when we called his name , he interested in everything)
Is it speech delay or Autism ?
I really scared 😦
My son is the same
My son is exactly the same. How is your daughter now?
My son is 17.5 months and he says 6 or 7 words and the other is his baby language daadaa and other babling
He understands when i say close the door open the door or the fridge he knwos every furniture and some of body parts ...he points when he want something or when he show something to me and am very glad seeing this video
Thank you, this video was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Kayla, Thank you for these informational videos. As an adult on the autism spectrum my difficulty among other things is communicating with others socially often invisible in a crowded room, ashamed to have this problem. When people ask me certain questions it takes me time to respond. Often they get upset at me for not answering right away, I have to think about the question and process it and still struggle with stuttering to make a clear answer, Anyway, do you work with adults too or is it only kids, or how do you know if a speech therapist is a right fit as an adult? Thanks. And i am hoping to get help soon through the Regional Center here in Central Cali. Ryan.
My son just turned 4 he’s still behind a bit but talks and communicates great. My biggest pet peeve when we were in the early years was people telling just read books to him as though that was it. I just ignored it they meant well
That is great he communicates well. I am sure they meant well!
Very helpful! Thank you.
My son is 3 1/2 and exhibits 4/5 signs. I’m concerned and have been seeking speech therapy but everyone has costs we just can’t afford right now. He was our first child and we as first time parents could benefit from some direction
You can have him evaluated and they will do the speech therapy for free (if he qualifies) as early intervention. Then he will receive speech therapy. If he's in school like preschool or daycare you can ask to have him evaluated. Otherwise your pediatrician can send you to a speech therapist to be evaluated. Either case they drag their feet so you do have to sorta push the issue.
It’s the best feeling when you come to these videos concerned and leave relieved. 14 months-16 words, right on track. Just frustrated none of them are “mama” lol
Glad you found my videos!
My son has all of this ...some people keeps telling me go get him check cuz I know he might have some issue ....he was such a good baby until he was 1 ....than he started to watch TV and smartphone and he started to close himself up . We went to the doctor he did alla the test and everything was ok .No screen time and no smartphone ....He started to improve but in this day he still is not talking ...he says Ah for everything .. points towards everything he wants or wants to show me . And the dog says wof wof .....I am about to start speech therapy and hopefully it will help
See my child isn’t talking yet he’s 21 months but he understands everything we say. And I mean he actually understands. We dont use our hands to talk to him and he can follow any demand we give him. Like “go throw that in the garbage please” etc
My little boy will be fifteen months tomorrow and says only two words. I’m reading him his baby books and talking to him trying to teach him new words. He is also not standing or walking on his own quite yet. He is cruising and has great fine motor skills and is where he should be in a lot of things. Just a bit later then the average. His physical therapist says we can set up an evaluation with speech therapy early, though they usually do that at closer to eighteen months, I guess.
Definitely try to get it scheduled!
I have a daughter who just turned 3 in nov she can talk, but does not necessarily talk to us or make conversation with us she will say she needs to go to the potty or simple things like drink or other things she may want. She will also repeat things that you say if she feels like it, but you are not really able to ask her what she is doing or things along those lines she just won’t answer and almost acts like she doesn’t hear you (we have had her hearing checked and it is fine). she is also not very sociable some days she is more Interactive than others. She usually will not say hi or bye to people and does not make a lot of eye contact although some days she is better with this than other days, but a lot of times she will not even acknowledge other adults. She is very smart like she knows her ABCs and can also recognize them she can also count to ten and sometimes higher, very good at puzzles and other things, but it seems like she is having issues in some ways with social skills and in ways communication. I stay at home with her and she is not around children a lot of the time. She recently in the last couple months started saying mommy and daddy and although she knows her name and will repeat it she will not tell me it if I ask her. She also seems to have problems with directions a lot of time. Some family members think she may have some kind of a learning disability or even autism. I am very hesitant on accepting this, but wonder what you may think or what kind of therapy may be needed.
Hi Celena, have you had an evaluation done? I cannot say for sure anything without evaluating her myself but I highly recommend she be evaluated! While you're waiting for an appointment I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things and if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Thank you
The waving thing has been debunked. Toddlers and babies are instinctually meant to question who is around them other than their mother/father. They will not always want to interact and wave and be all bubbly with new people. It is extremely common to question new people.
well why some don't even wave at their parents and family members they see every day? and there are many happy children that wave at strangers all the time. it has NOT been debunked.
Curious where you get your numbers. My daughter is 22 months old, and the doctors say 20 words.
My son is almost 2 and he used to say about 5 words and then quit altogether. We have a speech therapist but he really isn’t saying much yet. His receptive language is awesome though. We are hoping he’s just a little behind. He says “ba” for everything
Speak with his pediatrician if you are concerned, it is great he is doing well with receptive language! Feel free to sign up for my free guide book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
same ba for everything other than mama papa ...and 2 or 3 words...
At the age of 20 months, my little girl went to see a speech therapist, because she spoke her fantasy language and knew only 20 real words. Everything was fine with the speech therapist, but she still speaks her language. Of these 5 characters, she has 2. Now she is 2.5 years old, she tells some short sentences of 2-3 words, she knows colors, numbers in two languages, her name and how old she is, she repeats most of the words. But I notice that children her age talk more than she does. She normally lives in a bilingual environment. I need advice sometimes I think it’s ok and sometimes I worry.
Here is a video with more information on speech delay th-cam.com/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/w-d-xo.html. I hope this helps.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
My daughter is 20 months old and is “talking” (over 100 words) but she only says part of a word.For example for dog she says da, cat is ca, happy is hap. She does this for all words she is learning and I try to get her to repeat the word the proper way. Her pediatrician wants to wait until 2 for a referral to speech therapy.
That is great she is definitely trying, here is a video on some DIY speech therapy you can try if you are concerned th-cam.com/video/6tbWU2shHvw/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps.
my son is 19 months and uses a lot of sign language to communicate wants, ( down, up, hungry, food, tired, ) etc. Some words are there....I know more should be, but he says a new word every week, everyone is at their pace.
Same! My daughter is 19 months too and mostly signs to communicate. I feel like she’ll speak when shes ready.
Thank you so much for this 💕
You're so welcome!
This is so relatable. Soon as you said babbling my son says 3 main words, which are Dora (childminder is Laura and can't say it yet), dada and ugh (grunt). He's 18 months, and I'm in the UK and tried my health visitor for almost a year with no luck, my childminder is also helping with the referral and soon as he hit 18 months they were able to escalate it on my behalf x
I am glad this helps you! Feel free to check out my free guidebook here, walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/
Hi there I’m also in the uk and was wondering what one needs to do to get a referral… may daughter will be 2 in feb do I just wait till that health review we somehow didn’t have an 18month one … yikessss
My son in law spoke to his therapist and she said same thing: her one child didn’t speak until 3.
I had 2 children who started speaking at 6 months, one at 3. But, he used pointing and hand gestures, and then at 3 spoke in full sentences. So, I wasn’t concerned about my grandson at first. Now, what his father does is not to acknowledge is that Max had many more words 6 months ago, now, almost none.
Speech regression is totally different than a late talker. Beware uninformed parents getting information with uninformed information.
Using sign language with young ones helps SO MUCH with communication, especially when they struggle with language. It is always good to get an evaluation from a trained professional. Best of luck to you!
I have a one year old who has spent most of her life quarantined and minimal interaction with other children and I wonder if that is a contributor to her semi delayed speech? She says a few words (mama, dada, baba) but no other words. I’m a first time mom so honestly I’m not sure if that’s a normal amount or not.
Hi CMC, this is a rough time to be raising a little one with quarantine and far more social isolation. That could certainly be part of the problem. Do you read to her every day? Talk to her throughout the day?
Also, I have tons of free videos on my youtube to help with a few small things but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide on exactly what to do then look into my online course for parents called "How to Teach a Toddler to Talk." school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you so much for responding! I do read to her every night before bed, but she’s so tired and fussy by then that I think maybe during the day might be better to do? I talk to her constantly but the bigger words just aren’t coming along. I will say, she is very verbal and constantly babbling to herself so maybe she is saying words and I just can’t make them out.
Of course! I get that, when kids are tired engagement is really hard. But YES read to her during the day then, or check out some of great videos with fun interactive ideas that can help you work with her. If you're feeling really inspired (or when you're ready) I also have an online course that teaches parents how to teach their kiddos how to talk. school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Hey! I wanted to know if you've seen any improvement in speech. I have a 17 month old who isn't talking (mama, dada, nana and no is the limit). Is your baby talking now? If so what did you do?
I wouldn’t worry the baby is only one years old that is not a concern my baby is doing the same thing I have 3 children they all talked late but they walk early and did everything else two oldest are honor students with absolutely no speech delays try not to compare your child to others or fit them into a timeframe read the other comments each child is different it’s just like a doctor telling us we all have to be a certain weight yes that’s ideal but we are all unique and different I wouldn’t be concerned until the child is like two 1/2 3 years of age
We are waiting
Hi waiting for what?
This is one of your best videos like this. The graphics and music are a nice touch and you spent more time giving out information than promoting your course. I am just one person, but I really liked the format of this video and noticed the increased production value!
Thanks for noticing!
What if your child only shows signs from number 1? I can ask him for some from the other room and he gets what I ask.
My son turned two in December, and he uses some words but not nearly as much as he should. When i get his attention, he seems to pick the things up but once his attention is gone, it's hard to get him back to wanting to learn. Do you have any tips to make things more entertaining for him to keep his attention?
Hi! That can be tough! Take a look at some of my videos on activities.
Thank You for this. My son just turned 3, and has lots of words but cannot put them together in a sentence or form any actual conversation. We are waiting for a speech pathology assesment, but in Nova Scotia Canada, the wait is 6months plus :-(
Katie Rideout same kind of situation in Liverpool same age too. Use some sentence but not too many :(
@@nataliatalamali1355 my guy doesn't even say sentences unless he's echoing. He uses them in the right context though so I'm not sure what that means.
My son is the same
Katie Rideout my son he put lot of things together but not in right way like : me nursery papa. Or « a me slide « for example if he want to go to a slide. I’m waiting for speech therapy as well because he love to sing or talk 24/7 but nothing proper yet
@@nataliatalamali1355 my son won't use "I" or "me" he will just present you with something "open" or sometimes "open please" or "night night mommy!" And run to his bed when he's tired. 2 months later, 8months total this far waiting for speech therapy and still no call yet.
My son has all of these and he is 5.
I thought it was autism but the psychologist said it wasn't.
We have been to a speech therapist and she say she can't help him cause she thinks is something else than just speech delay.
So I don't get any help from anyone and I'm so stressed about him starting school.
I live in Sweden and we don't have private speech therapists or home schooling program :(
Did your son talked yet
@stephabie could you please share with us if your child started talking it will help a lot of us. Thank you so much
My son had evaluation today. He is almost 24 months. He says about 10 words and few sentences. The thing I was worried about was autism. But he doesn't have problem with finger pointing, he mostly responds to his name, doesn't have repetitive behaviour, has great eye contact. So they eveluated that his motor skills are good, non verbal comunication also good, but understanding of the language is at abput 16 months and language at about 1 years (baby language). They said that he needs speach therepy because he probably want talk on his own mostly because he tends to give up easely if something is to hard to lear and has short atantion spann.
My granddaughter is 27 months. She doesnt even put two words together. Her 2 older sisters were talking good at that age. Their mom was talking at that age as well. But it good just be speech delay. My daughter is afraid she has autism. The doctor just wants her to see a speech therapist.
Thank u so much for this informative video, i can understand now that my child is having problem talking n i need help. My child is 22 months n bable a lot lot like whole day, she says some words to be precise 11 words only in our language which is hindi but cannot communicate her needs. Surprisingly She has learnt english language rhymes (complete sentences till the end) n keeps repeating them whole day like twinkle twinkle, jony jony,etc but she don’t talk n is highly frustrated n furious all day every day, hitting me n family in face is a general ordeal of hers. And she doesn’t like to make eye contact or interact wth anyone except objects

God...U explain so well..My questions wr finally answered here... Thanks.
You are welcome!
That's my grandson at 3yrs
How do u think is there a difference in speech development for twins?
Sadly, my five year old son still struggles to speak. Also, he doesn't really concentrate/understand certain commands. So I go slow now, struggling to study as well. Really hoping this phase will pass. So much pressure on the parents
Farha, I am sorry, I know it is so hard and YES so much pressure on parents. Have you had an assessment completed for your son?
Yes I did. Told me to talk to him a LOT. Some days are great, but the other days I turn anxious and keep questioning him why is he talking to himself about the cartoons? Adventures are his fav or infact any child I suppose.
We did go through a year of speech therapy and he has definitely improved. Just need him to concentrate into things so probably he would frame better sentences. 😃 He is bilingual also and just started school. Apparently, the first time he attended, the school is online. 😅😊
@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy my son is 3years old , with very good eye contact,high sense of humor, he likes to play with children, and never flap hand ir tip toe toe walking, but he does not point neither he take my hand to show me what he wants, a privately hired SLT said she need around 5 sessions with him to inform me of the problem, does he sound of speech delay or ASD to you?
Hey! So I know a Kid....who is 3.8 years old. He is really smart and can count till 100,can name fruits, vegetables,says mom and dad,and name various animals BUT he repeats words that he hears from others.For example ,if someone says "Chloe,come here" he repeat the exact words and says"Chloe come here" .he has been in speech therapy for nearly 1 year although he has improved alot he is not forming complete sentence .If we ask him to follow an instruction he follows them too . But sometimes he does not answer some Yes /no questions. Because of this ,he is not able to mingle with other kids.... :(
How many years do u think he will take to form a conversation like a normal child?thnax for ur help
Hi there! Sorry I really can't say. I'm so glad to hear he is in speech therapy though!
@arooshi could you please tell how the kid now does he speaks full now please share with us
Thanks for this. My 16month does alot of mumbling. He does say certain words but mostly speaks in his own language. Also, he understands non gestures (verbal only) words. Share your thoughts. Thx!

My son is 26 months. He hasn't had time with other children because of the pandemic the past year. We live in Costa Rica with no neighbors and he's having to learn 2 languages. He know lots of words but he just says one word at a time. He will respond to detailed requests like "get that and give it to mommy." Should he be saying sentences? Are we making a mistake by keeping him away from people during this pandemic? I can't get him to keep a mask on and all the parks are closed here. What can I do to help his development?
Do as much interacting with him as you can!

Helloo Everyone.. Just finish watching this video 👍🏻
And i read most of the comments here.
All of us are worried that our kids does they have autism or really just speech delay.
I am first time mom here, My 3years old girl just started her school. She never been to any school yet. She is afraid of going to school and not eating any food. She is afraid of trying new food.. When she is baby to 1years old she doesnt have any eyes contact then we realised slowly she have eyes contact with us. Recently she likes to count 1-10 or 10-1
Abc. And want me to read her books.
The school is from 9am to 6pm. THE Principal always ask me to bring her back home early at 1200 as they cant handle her, sometimes felt so depressed when i see my girl like this. Is this normal? Are we going to stop her from going to pre school first? Go speech therapy? Or? What should i do now? 😢
Any suggestions?
My son is really social, loves people and can understand some of what we are saying to him, hes still quite young and 14 months old but not doing more than saying letter like A Ber and his nickname which is D he goes Deeeeee he will also mumble mum mum mum but he doesnt know thats me i dont think, apart from that no more words and he can sometimes get frustrated with not us but himself when he cant show us what he means :( waiting for the health visitors to call me back to maybe refer me to the speech therapist so i can see if he is behind or just going to be a late talker!
Thank you for watching, it can definitely be frustrating waiting I hope my channel helps!
Wish I was in your area!
My grandson just turned 4 and he can talk but often decides that he doesn't want to. He also still talks a little gibberish and usually keeps his talk at a low tone. He does play with other children and wants to be around other kids. Much of his talk is in a cartoon like tone where he is imitating voices from cartoons and his father who often talks to him with cartoon like voices. He is very independent and if he wants something to drink rather then ask he just goes to the fridge and get it himself. Or he has opened up the pantry door and stated "Google, find snacks". He is a very big boy for 4 ( wears a size 8) so when people see him they expect a lot more. He never does things on command, only when he wants to. How can we get him to talk and communicate better. We are in Florida. Ant suggestions?
Hi Bob, I laughed about the "google, find snacks!" Has your grandson had any kind of evaluation completed?
This video is for teaching toddlers but the simplification, motivation, and repetition would be the same for teaching communication skills.

My daughter will be 3 in July of 2021. She Babbles a lot. I usually know what she wants 95 percent of the time but she does get mad and frustrated when I don’t know what she wants. She actually started out with words then stopped using them. She would say puppy and a few other ones but has stopped like she is not interested anymore. Her ears are great and we have been seeing an SLP but I feel like it’s really not helping. It’s only been like a month and a half but still.
Hi Eagles, are you working with her at home as well? You would be amazed the difference when everyone in the child's world uses similar strategies working with them!

Hi Kayla , great videos, really helpful. My child is almost 2 years, he says 3 to 5 words but he knows most of the alphabets. If you point your finger to a certain letter, he can say it. only Q, L and W cannot pronounce. He can follow directions and his attention span is really good. he is attentive too. However, compared to his twin brother, he is far behind on saying more words. Any suggestion on which area we as parents should focus on?
Hi! I have tons of video on her to help!
My son is 2 and has only learned about 4 words such as moma Dada and nite nite and baby. However he recently stopped using these words all together. Randomly he may say momma but for the last month or 2 he doesn't really talk at all just babling. He also has a delay in fine motor skills and he doesn't self feed.
Check out this video for more information on speech delay, th-cam.com/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps.
2 year old daughter
1, She only speaks Mom, Dada and her own language
2, I am not aware of this but I will try. She follows direct which I think was great but I am not aware on the hand gestures which is I am going to try.
3, I contact was the only think we are aware of and she is good at it. She plays whenever she saw other kids but this pandemic really is so hard for us. She is so clingy to me and my 2 aunts.
4. She is just say Mom, Dada and others are just bubbling or her own language. 😭
5. Well I didn't notice it yet. Yes she has trantrums but I will observed on this.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching. Here is another video on speech delay th-cam.com/video/jXRe7XZZqeQ/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps
My nearly 16 month old is showing all the 5 signs. But I have a question is speech delay n autism are two different things.
P.S. he has a good eye contact though
Hi Harnoor, to know for sure you would need to get an evaluation. They are not the same, although sometimes they coexist.
Thank you for this video. My daughter just turned two. She can sing multiple songs and even quote movies perfectly, however when it comes down to communicating she isn’t good verbally. My husband and I are both mommy and she will say simple things like up please, hi, bye, bobo (our dog), Oo yummy, and some other things but isn’t good telling us what she wants. She will grab me by the hand take me to the toy or area she wants to play with and point at the object she wants me to play with her with but doesn’t verbally say what she wants. I called my pediatrician today and they are going to send a request to jhach to get evaluated. They won’t see he till may (I put her on the cancellation list too. Hopefully by then she will say a lot more. Crossing my fingers she is a late talker. She is developing in other areas more than speech, like math, building, art, has advanced motor skills, and excels in crafts cooking and more. I’m not concerned her having autism she is just delayed in verbally communicating.
That is great she is singing a lot of songs I am sure that is so fun! I am sorry you are concerned it is great to take those concerns to the pediatrician just to get evaluated. Feel free to sign up for my free e-book walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/emaillist/ I hope this helps!
My daughter does the same with taking our hands to what she wants and points at it and says please… I will then point at the item and say what it is for future reference or help her repeat it but she doesn’t at the moment.
How is your child doing now
I’m so stressed my 3 year old is also struggling
My son is 16 months old, and not talking like at all. He’s said like mama or dada a few times. He tries to say our dogs name. He doesn’t like to play with other kids. He almost seems terrified of other kids. He plays by himself a lot. I’ve tried showing him shapes and bought him educational toys to help with talking and doing other things. I’ve talked to his doctor about these signs . He didn’t seem too concerned. He said if he’s 2 years old and still “grunting” to communicate; he’d be a little bit concerned. In the mean time, I really don’t know how to help my son. I had him at 19 and just recently turned 21.
Hi! I understand your concern and I'm glad you found my channel. I have ton's of free videos on here but if you are looking for a step-by-step guide, then sign up for my online course! school.walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/
Also i noticed that she learns anything fast n keeps repeating them whole day or for some days n then she looses interests in those words n doesn’t want to utter them again after few days. She has learnt 1-10 numbers n some alphabet but all in English language n all rhymes she has learnt in english. Surprisingly hindi is our mother tongue n we speak all the tym at our home in hindi n she doesn’t pick a word of this language
This is great to hear she is repeating words
Thank you so much!! My son just turned 2 in March, he is showing all the signs for language delay. I called to make an appointment for a speech therapy evaluation. However, with this whole coronavirus pandemic; we have to wait a bit longer. I have been working with him at home. He has improved a lot. I did want to ask, he does say more of a eeeeee sound than a ahhh sound you mentioned in this video; is that common?
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover best toddler parenting books try Loctavan Teaching Toddler Strategy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
is your son talking now?? my son does the same aaa ahhh sounds
My son clocked 2 few days ago... the few words in his vocabulary are- yes, fine, see, and he says them in low tone or sometimes only hum the sounds... although he understands when spoken to and gesticulates alot. He also throw tantrums often and has this abnormal motor movements when doing that.... I’m beginning to get worried, his teacher also said he hardly participate in class activities and doesn’t answer when asked his name....should I see a Paediatrician already?

Hi, my child has #1 sign and has very less vocab. So how can we go from here. We have Kaiser and in Temecula ( near to San Diego)
Hi! If you are interested in therapy with me, send me an email therapy@walkietalkie.education
My child is 5 y.o. and hasn't gotten many words in. I'm extremely worried about him. He is in speech therapy in school with an iep but doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Any tips?
How is your son doing now x
Trauma might be the issue. Make them feel comfortable and try that way if possible
Mary can you share how's your child now please?
Hello Mam,
My daughter is 3.2 years old, she might have a problem of speech delay, she has started repeating since 1 months back only. She repeats few things which she likes, but doesn't make sentences, or communicate with us. Her screen time was more the last year, it was a huge mistake we made and due to covid, she was not going out anywhere, but eventually we have reduced the screen time. We talk to her the whole day, but she doesn't communicate us back. We have admitted her in a playschool, which she will be going from the next month. Mam please suggest, what should we do, should we wait for some time, after she goes to playschool, or we should consult a doctor.
@. Sonal how's your daughter now does you see any difference yet?
Hii sonal your daughter now talks?
Hi my son is turning 3 this. Coming june. he can spell and read some words. he knows his name but no conversation. Is it speach delay
I’ve noticed that alot of parents are unwilling to recognize their children have speech delays. I’m a children health care worker and often I see children who are 2 years old and still baby talk and when are spoke to, they have no idea how to communicate. Or they are unable to form simple sentences such as “ I’m hungry”.or “ where are you”. Simple things like that. However, when I speak to parents about it, I’m often faced with “ She talks a lot, she knows a lot.”. I understand parents may not feel happy when told that their child needs help. However, because of their ego, the children end up not getting the kind of help they need.
My child is 3 years old and has 3 out of 5 of these .
Glad you found the video! Seek help in your area.
So weird that my son does go do why I say without my hands , he’s interactive with other kids us he plays all the time ! He says very little words and babbles also and he is 31 months he’s in early intervention and he says some things and he gets frustrated that’s the only one he has but yet still not saying everything ! I just tried I told him to go get his cup without pointing he got out of bed and went to find it and brought it back I’m so confused I don’t think the speech therapy helps via FaceTime though I was worried about autism but he clearly doesn’t have that ugh
is there any self help programs for a 37 year old adult who had these same symptoms all throughout I first started speaking? In today's time, I wished I spent more time mastering my communication skills. It's been rough and it's affecting important areas of my life professionally and personally in a negative way smh.
I just work with children, I would recommend reaching out to your primary doctor if you are concerned.
My son is speech delay, I’ve been trying to read to him yet he doesn’t make words. And I’m worried I’ve tried “EI” and they don’t help at all they just did an assessment and they didn’t even follow through with home visits they mentioned a speech therapist but never came trough with some either. I’m about to ask his doctor probably because no one has guided me in that direction and I’ve have had this so called services that in turn have not helped and I feel frustrated and I don’t want to do that, I’m looking for a real specialist that gives answers. Thanks for your videos, kindly.
Glad you found it helpful. Good luck.
How is he doing now?
I am facing same situation with my 3yrs old son
I used her stance -- you can't just say however "go get 'that" for me' unrealistic. If you hold your hands down and say go get me your cup, or ball. My son is able to do this, parents try it that way but use a word.
YES, naming items is SO important.
I was trying to find the world list you talked about for the different ages and I can't seem to find it? Would you be able to show me the link?
Hi Jess! Here you go! walkietalkiespeechtherapy.com/five-signs-printout/
A friend’s 2 1/2 yr old only says ‘ehhhhhh’ while pointing. It is very annoying to me when I am with her. I have not heard her say anything. She also gets very upset if she is around other kids she does not know…to the point of having to leave the event.
Yea my son Is 3yrs old he just turned 3 and I'm still waiting on his speech appointment set up. He talks..but not the way he needs to. He doenst say certain words correctly and other words he does some are harder than others he does say two word sentences but by his age he should be saying way more. He says maybe about close to 100-150 words I think but I'm pretty sure he's supposed to know more he struggles with sight words and forming sentences and I'm afraid he may have apraxia I believe uts called. It's veterans hard because I work and I can't give him the attention he needs
You are doing great! I hope his appointment goes well.
I have a 3 year old who isn't putting her words in understandable phrases. However I have caught her counting on her own. She recognizes colors and tries to pronounce them all on her own. She loves being with other kids and fully engages in play.
How would I be able to know if she has a speech delay? Her pediatrician has told me that she doesn't seem to have delays. But the most she says to me is "Mami ka" or "Mami no".
This is stressful because I feel like I should trust that she will speak eventually but I'm feeling pressure that she should be talking and that she might have a speech problem.
Anyway. Sorry for the long post but would appreciate if someone shed some light on this, maybe a parent that has gone through this.
Please and thank you.

Hi, my son is 3 years and 2 months old, he doesn’t speak at all. He understands language, he knows words and wants to talk. If we see a blue car, I’ll ask him “what colour is this car?”
And he will make the B with his mouth but won’t say it, and this goes for many words. He maybe says we words at random here and there. Yesterday he said “done” after finishing his dinner , but it’s so random. He definitely understands language as I can tell him what to do without doing any hand motions and he know what I want.
He is obviously very smart, can count, learns very fast yet the speech is where he is delayed. I spend a lot of time with him in the car and I try to make him call things but then He gets mad at me. So I back off and give him a break. I don’t believe he is autistic and he doesn’t exhibit any traits of autism.
We want to send him to school next year but I am worried he will not have a good time due to that delay.
Should we get him into speech therapy or continue trying at home?
I tried to talk to my son’s doctor about him not speaking hardly at all he can say dada and bye. He is 19 months old. The doctor literally told me that I was letting him point and grunt rather than trying to get him to communicate without even doing an assessment.
Do you accept insurance for speech and language services?
My 16 month old doesn't say any words, he used to say "mama" a bit not towards me just as a sound but now he doesn't even do that. I'm waiting for an appointment with a speech therapist but with everything going on I have no idea when that will be.
What happened did your baby talk now? My baby is 18 months old and she has the same issue I am worried so much. Earlier she used to say babababa mamamama and 'bye' now for a month she is not saying any thing just nenenene for every thing. I don't understand probably she is watching baby rhymes in English and we used to talk in a different languages. Probably she is not able to understand the language.😔
Mine too, says a baba bab sound and sometimes wave bye

My son definitely gets frustrated trying to communicate with me, and I think he only understands my gestures, but not what I’m saying. He says words and will string 2-4 together to form “sentences” on his own and can repeat my words and short phrases, but has trouble expressing what he wants and mostly babbles. He just turned 2 five days ago. His pediatrician recommended speech therapy yesterday at his 2 year visit.
It turns out he does understand me, he just doesn’t listen lol
Hi Brittany, So the pediatrician is suggesting you seek an evaluation?

@@WalkieTalkieSpeechTherapy thank you for replying. Yes, though she couldn’t get a good read on his vocabulary because almost the entire appointment was a temper tantrum because he was tired, but it was a temper tantrum with almost no words. I’ll watch some more of your videos, and I think I may also get the course. Anything to help him progress.
Very helpful for me thanks 🙏🏼 first vídeo that really help me 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are so welcome! Please share the video on social media.
What could be the cause for the toddler to delay to speak?
Could it be genes or the environment the child is in or what?
These videos are helpful thanks for sharing. I have hope for our babies. My son is 2 1/2 he doesn’t say much but he understands what I’m saying to him. He can say mama daddy Tay nana Jesus. If you’re wondering I pray and go to church. So that’s why he says Jesus.
My 18 month old has said 15 but only very rarely uses 5 the others are rare now
