Why does my 2 year old not talk at nursery?

Question

He has a good vocabulary, and ask's questions such as 'What's that?' and 'Where's daddy?', but at nursery he only screms and laughs when he is playing.

Answer 1

Did it ever occur to you that he may be of above average intelligence??? Maybe his nursery school friends do more screaming and laughing and playing than talking, so by doing the same as them he is simply fitting in with the crowd. Truth be known, he probably has no real attachment to any of the people he knows at nursery. I bet he starts talking again as soon as mama or daddy pick him up from nursery??

Answer 2

You are aware the fact that he doesn't talk because he doesn't want to and not because he can't. Nurseries are generally pretty busy places with a lot of children coming and going and attention is constantly switching from different individuals to the group. It is possible that your son thinks he needs to make aditional efforts in order to receive what he considers is enough attention. Part of normal development is to gain control over your voice as vocabularly increases. In the meantime it is worth checking to finding out whether the staff frequently raise their voices during communication.

Answer 3

Hi, I am a director in a childcare centre it maybe normal as children are out of their comfort zone therefore they get their message across the quickest way possible. Especially when reacting towards a toy or something that they are doing that has been taken away from them. I believe you need to speak with your childs carers and discuss it futhure. eg observe when the behaviour is occuring and work on that. Good luck

He's probably just extremely nervous. Nursery's are full of noise and can be quite scary but given time he'll come out of his shell and speak. Just don't force it as he'll feel pressured and it might make him clam up more. If he's laughing then he must be enjoying himself!!

Children at that age imitate what's happening around them. How many other kids are screaming and laughing? As the other kids around him start talking more he will also mimic them.
