When he was 8 mths old he said kitty cat
although it sounded like kih kah. then
aruond 12-14 mths he said byebye, but
other then that i havent noticed a real
word, sometimes he says stop it, but he
says it over and over a few times. he has
said puppy before a few times but thats
it, and i read by age 2 there vocabulary
should consist of like 50 words and he
really doesnt even use one . sometimes he
says dada, but again most of the time its
repetetive. He also throws tantrums alot.
when he doesnt get his way he will lay on
the floor and bash his head on the floor
or hit it on a table or stick his fingers
in his mouth to gag himself, i ignore it
in hopes he will stop but so far no luck
there. He understands things, like i ask
for a kiss he gives me one, i ask if foods
yummy and he smacks his lips , i ask him
if he wants to take a bath and he goes
right upstairs to the bathroom. But he
doesnt talk, he has his own language that
he bables in sometimes though. He goes for
his 2 year checkup next week, im wondering
should i bring this up with the dr and
what should i ask to help him out?

Hey Posted: 08-15-07 13:49pm
I would bring it up. he could just be
slow. or he could have a mild form of
cerebral palsy.
tempertantrums are usually a sign of
frustration. not being able to tell you
what he wants etc. ( do you notice when
his tantrums occure? is it when he wants
something? or just when you say no to
something?)
if he is doing it because he wants
somtheing and you said no extinct
it(ignore it) i will warn you that
ignoring a behavior will cause an increase
in that behavior but it will go down in
frequency when he realizes that you arent
going to give in. let us know how it
goes. ill be praying for you.

hey sortof sounds like me. when i was a
baby and a kid i never talk but then again
i couldnt talk.it took me almost 10 years
to talk. iam speach impaired. i dont know
what kind of speach imparement i have. i
was a little kid and i remember going to a
speech therapist at age 2. from hard work
i began to speak around 10 of age. 8 years
of working hard. and now i just stop going
to her when i was 16 and now iam 17 and a
half. but i still have trouble talking but
mostly its pronoucnig and rarly people
dont understand me and when i was a little
kid the doctors i went to said i will
never speak in my life. so maybe this is
the same situration like i have. plus you
should tell your doctor about this also
like dyanmatteson said. good luck i hope
this helps you a little.

Tink- don't let this freak you out too
much. Yes, you should probably bring it up
to your doc and they can refer you to a
developmental psychologist, but it could
be just nothing. But I would probably
bring it up if I were you.

two year old not talking Posted: 05-27-08 09:06am
i have a
three year old and when he was two he only
said shut up and drink and i was worried
but then he is now talking really well but
he seems to know because the health
visitor was keeping an eye on his speach
he wont say anything i always think when
they have something to say they will. also
you could try to encourage speach by
making him ask for his drink. they say you
have to say it twenty times for them to
start trying to say the word if that makes
sense
