my daughter is 21/2,she speaks very few 2syllable words (say 10words).does she have any problem speaking?

Question

she makes different sounds from which i get to understand what she wants.otherwise she has no problem.

Answer 1

some children speak late, so that is not the problem.. you try to apply Jaifal, ( just rub it on the stone adding a drop of water and apply that paste ) on her tongue.. little once a week, it helps

Answer 2

there is a general notion that girls learn to speak faster than boys and i think your anxiety stems from the same fact. i have a son who is now 2 years and 10 months. he until the age of 2 1/2 was speaking very few words say not more than 10. but kids pick up very soon. what you will see is in a few months your daughter will have a very good vocabulary. what i did and recommend is to use alphabet flash cards that have picture and words and either side. they are really useful, using charts and trying to teach is also useful. i can say that trying these techniques and being patient is all what you need.
HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS

Answer 3

My 19 month old is in speech therapy twice a month and it has helped tremendously. I didn't think that she had that much of a problem; however, she's already in a birth to three program so her pediatrician advised it. In six weeks, she went from just baby talk to 23 words!

I wouldn't think, at 2 1/2 two syllable words are that important, but if you're concerned question your pediatrician about some speech therapy. I know that it sounds like a lot; however, it doesn't have to be frequent....twice a month and just watch your child's vocabulary bloom! Keep talking to your daughter and labeling everything in her environment, give your daughter choices that don't require a simple yes or no answer...use adjectives and pronouns, have your daughter look at you so she can see how to position her lips to say what you are trying to get her to say.... but mostly keep reading!

Answer 4

If she can get away with others doing her communicating for her, she will. Just say "use your words" instead of guessing or taking a grunt as an instruction. It will take time. Don't give in unless you know it's something beyond her developmentally. If you are stiil concerned after an amount of time with no improvement you can take her to a developmental specialist or speech therapist just to be sure you're not missing anything. Also consider her hearing.
I know a guy who did not speak at all until the age of 5 (!!!) and then went on to become a successful lawyer. There was nothing "wrong" with him when he was little, apparently he just didn't have anything to say!!

Answer 5

My daughter did this as well and it was so frustrating. She is the second child. What I did with her was try to make her use her words when she wanted something. I would pretend I didn't understand her and she eventually started talking more. I was so proud of her when she could communicate better and talk more clearly.

There is nothing wrong with your daughter. I think every child goes thru it a little bit. When they don't need to use their words because everyone around them knows what they want without the words, then they won't bother trying.

Hope I've helped. Good luck.

Answer 6

is that how you talk to her? Or the other people around her? Try speaking in larger sentences. Try having her hearing tested, it could be she needs tubs in her ears to better hear you. Try learning baby-signs or sign language and see if that helps her communication skills. Try looking at her so she can see your mouth when you are talking so she can see how to make those words. Let her talk in front of a mirror to copy and watch mouth movements. Maybe she's spoiled and try not giving something to her right away until she uses her words and once she uses her words then give it to her and praise her. Talk to her doctor. If all else falls maybe she's like my brothers one's roof of his mouth is too high and he didn't talk so well and had to go through speech class to talk when he was 3. The other just was a very content child with four older siblings and found no need to talk. Like I said talk to your doctor. I hope this helps.

Answer 7

If your daughter is 30 mos old and only has a ten-word vocabulary, yes, she is delayed by about 12 months. Get her to an audiologist to have her hearing tested, then to a speech pathologist. The earlier she gets therapy, the better off she will be.

Answer 8

The only person who could answer that would be her doctor. I would request that your daughter have a cognitive skills test... and also have her hearing checked. A friends of mine had a son with a slight hearing problem. The reason he spoke only a few words was he was hearing things differently.

Answer 9

my daughter is 3, and she say some words unclear for the letter c, j and h.
My brother inlaw late speak when he was toddler.

so, it's still natural, as long we monitor and make her exercise to speak words.

Answer 10

my friend's sister has that problem. It is a disorder that she has people come to her house and play with her with special development and computer toys and help her with conversation, etc. I think they are therapists or something. SO tell her doctor about this and suggest 'helpers'. Good luck to you and her :)
