you just have to understand that children develop at different rates than others. This doesnt mean that they are "slow".

Sounds kind of like my son when he was that age. He is now almost 5, and can understand a lot, but still has trouble with pronunciation. I recently found out that he probably has ADHD (not diagnosed yet, but sure of it)... one of the main symptom's of that is trouble with pronunciation. But also some kids are just a little shy or cautious, and two years old is still pretty young, no need to worry yet.
Apparently my brother-in-law barely said a word his first three years, then one day after church (when he was three) he suddenly sang a whole song that they just sang at church.

My son was 2 when we moved to Mexcio and he was using 1 and 2 word sentences...we moved back to Canada before he was 3 and he was fluent in 2 languages. Kids will speak when they want to speak. My son knew that I knew what he was trying to say, so he didnt feel he needed to construct a full sentence, when he saw other kids speaking and they couldn't understand him, he learned really quick to change his "lazy" habit. Enjoy it while you can...once he does start, he won't stop...and it gets mouthier every year that goes by. He sounds fine to me, he's only 2...worry more about it when he's doing this at age 4. Good luck! :)

My 2 yr. old grandson is like this also...he is starting to pick up more words and trying to put them in sentences. As long as you see him putting words with objects and has understanding, you're fine. It seems that girls learn to talk sooner than boys do (which is probably why women have the gift of gab! LOL!). By next year, your boy will be verbalizing much more!

What is going to happen, my niece did the same thing, is one day, he is gonna just start jabbering and then you will wish he would shut up!! He'll be fine, don't force the issue let the little guy work it out for himself. He may be able to speak but is a little afraid to do it. We are like that our whole lives, right?
Don't sweat it. I bet he'll be chattering in no time at all!

Every child is different. If the doctor is not concerned (and you think you have a good pediatrician), then I wouldn't be overly concerned. BUT, if you still aren't at ease, you can ask to see a specialist and possibly early-intervention. I guess it's all a gut feeling, but don't get upset.

My mom has had a creche for the last 22 years, my experience is not be concerned at all, trust me, you bebe might not be saying allot of words now, but they make up for lost time as soon as they discover they can actually talk!

Have you had him to a specialist to determine there is no problem? Sometimes GP's (family doctor's) just don't know. Some kids just talk later, when they are ready.
