Answer 1

shes sounds like she is quite advanced! i have 15month old twins born 29th march 2006 and they hardly say anything. ruby the eldest says daddy and lily and bella(her sisters). lily the youngest says ta and knows all the words to the teletubbies theme tune lol. they are more into exploring than saying words. when was your daughter born? i cant believe she was born on the 29th of march!what a coincidence!my twins were born 12 days early.x

I wouldn't worry! That's the normal speech patterns of a 15 month old! You probably have started getting some gibberish- that is starting to "sound" like sentences. Your daughter is learning a new language- just because she hasn't spoken the new words yet does not mean she doesn't 'know' them. Following simple one sentence commands and atleast 2 words spoken is the cognitive level she should be at! Which by your post she is! All children learn at different paces - just speak clearly to her and often! The best for verbal 'awareness' would be to read her -her favorite book! & take into account that when you are counting how many words she can say- it also includes the mispronounced words as well! (Just as long as she's aware of what it is).
My daughter is 2 1/2. She was always on pair with her "level"- yet she really mispronounced alot of words- and she didn't try to speak often. She's say a new word- and when she could say it correctly- you wouldn't hear it again. My mother was starting to think she might need speach therapy. (I have nephews that needed it). However, at 2 1/2 my daughter chatters my ear off- pronuncuates fairly well- and understands and listens to compound commands. Every child learns/speaks/and acts differently!

I have a 1 1/2 yr old that babbles ALL the time! His gibberish sentences sound like a conversation- and he EXPECTS me to understand!

Best of luck! & Enjoy your daughter- sit back and don't worry so much!

i'm a speech/language therapist with a grasp's in speech/language pathology. infants frequently start up asserting their first words around 12 months of age, so technically your son is a tad in the back of. If the two your loved ones Dr. and the speech therapist have concerns it probably would not harm to take part in therapy. mutually as some factors of therapy are extra suitable off and not using a discern in sight, you will desire to be playing a considerable place on your newborn's therapy technique. The therapist is in basic terms seeing him two times each week, and you're seeing him for all time. think of in case you will desire to enforce the concepts she will supply for all time! The speech therapist would desire to get you in contact in the technique and coach you recommendations so you might use at abode. As you suggested, she does look doing issues which you already do, so i'm particular you would be extra suitable than satisfied to attempt any new concepts at abode. If she is often asking which you bypass away the room i'd talk that project together with her because you, in spite of everything, are the main needed language sort on your newborn's existence.

My daughter didn't say much first of all until i started putting her in playschool. Just keep reading to her all the time. Flash cards are good, Also ask your health visitor. By 19th months my daughter wasn't saying much and by 2.5 years she was having speech therapy. Keep an eye on it and keep it fun

Answer 5

I think your daughter is doing great! My first son was like this and he was always advanced with his speech, but my second son has just started saying a few words at 21 months. I think they all develop in their own time, but your daughter is doing really well! x

Answer 6

Don't worry, i'e looked afetr children who got to 2.5 years old before they could string a sentance together. They are just concentrating on developing a different part of their development first. Give it a year and youll be wishing she'd stop talking.

Answer 7

Sounds about right to me, my nephew is about the same age and has about the same range of words, but once they start to pick up the idea they'll learn really quickly - just give it about 6 months and you'll be wishing you could shut her up! :)

Answer 8

it does sound like your daughter is within normal limits for talking.
it is normal for the first child to be a little slower with there speech. try and encourage her to socialise- this will help.
other than that- don't push her too much, you might have an adverse affect.

Answer 9

Speech-normal. You may want to reassess the flashcard idea though, unless you keep it short and very much a fun game you may turn your child against learning altogether!

Answer 10

She is doing just fine by the sounds of it. Children develope at different rates, some are quicker some are slower, but she sounds just fine to me!!!
