So my 2 yr old son was sorry a few words before. But now he refuses to say anything but mama and dada. I think it started because i went back to work and my husband dont give him any special time like i use to. Any ideas on what I should do. Thanx a million. Oh he is almost potty trained thanx to his older brothers.. Now we just need him to talk again.

Is he in child care with other children his age? If not, you may consider having play dates with other kids his age. There should be a way to meet other mothers in your town and join a group or something. He needs to be around people and peers who will talk to him like a person, not like a baby, and he will pick up millions of words.
My daughter is 3 and one day she just started talking. Now I can't get her to shut up!

One thing that you should do now is to spend more time with your son. Having his older brothers is also a great help but being the parents, I should say both of you and your husband should be with him when he start to learn how to speak. What I did for my 3 boys was, we shared colourful books with pictures and let your son do the turning over of the pages and from there you will discover that there are pictures which he like most and from there he will makes sound to discripe the pictures. For example a dog, he might makes a barking sound for all you know! You can also bring him out, lets say to the playground where there are children around. You will be suprise to see that at the age of 2 years, he appreciate being out from the house once a while.
But than I belive you have better idea than all this. It wont hurt trying. Good Luck and the best for you and your son.

My 20-month-old had an extensive vocabulary a couple months ago but now only says "what's this?" or "what's that?" (and mama and daddy, of course). I think it's just a phase and he'll be talking your ear off again before you know it. Good luck and congrats on starting back to work. You could also give your husband some ideas on what he can do to learn with your son (i.e. find a book that your husband has interest in whether sports, trains or whatever and encourage him to read it to him everyday)!

ok, I definitly think of that that's an area situation. besides the undeniable fact that, if issues proceed to bypass the way they're, I surely do not think of you 2 will ever date lower back. Its an quite not ordinary ingredient to do, yet i think of possibly you may desire to tell her which you need some weeks of no touch, so which you would be able to sparkling your head and think of roughly your relationship together with her. this is going to be not ordinary. besides the undeniable fact that it is going to help. on a similar time as on your 2 or 3 week hiatis, you may desire to construct a letter pouring your self into it, telling her precisely the way you experience approximately her, and each thing you have chose to do for her, and how you do not see your life complete without her. then you provide her the letter. it is going to artwork. Please have confidence me. As not ordinary as that's, it is going to artwork. It worked for my husband and that i! we've been married now 3 years.

Something might have happened while you weren't there.I have a two year old and boy she talks a lot but i never ask her to stop talking.My point is 2 year old talk and ask a lot.Maybe someone told him to shut up or not to talk so much?Just make him talk and every time he does, a reward or hug and kiss.Get him confident again.

try giving him a recording of your voice, maybe in a story. Those teddy ruxpins are coming back I think you can record your own voice on them. also they have those fisher price tape players with mics so he can tape his own voice. Also, Have you asked his daycare provider if he talks there, he might just be punishing you for leaving him. If that is the case maybe you could just let him get used to you leaving but always coming back before getting too concerned. Kids are so confusing. i have three wonderful ones myself

Try not to give him what he wants until he asks for it. If he grunts, ask, "What do you want? You need to tell me or I don't know." Give him lots of attention and be patient. He'll talk again when he's feeling secure enough, but don't baby him too much. :) Try to get him to talk to Daddy after he unwinds a bit after work. "Do you want to tell Daddy what you saw today?" Maybe Daddy can take special note of any birds or trees that he saw and tell your little boy all about them.

Dad isnt abusive is he? Sometime a jolt in routine will set them back alittle. Make sure to have Quality time with him when you are home.
Keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary when it comes to his relationship with others.
He might need to be around other children his age to help him open up. OR if he is with someone other than dad perhaps they aren't treating him right. GOOD LUCK Never let your guard down when it comes to your kids.

It might take him a little time to get used to you working so give it a little time, but when you get home try and give him as much time as you can. try getting books of animals and things and go and read them to him and ask him things about the pitchers it.

savor the time when they do not talk, cause once they start, they wont stop and it will sometimes get annoying and you will wish they didnt talk.
but if you really want him to start talking just keep on doing what you were doing
