Disappointed Mommy Posted: 02-05-07 12:53pm
How can I help my daughter talk? She's
already 15 mos. Old, and the only word
she knows is .Mom. She communicates in
other ways, such as pointing, whining and
making "ugh" sounds. I can understand
what she wants, by all that and her
crys... But as a mom, I guess I just want
to hear her talking. Her doctor said
it's not a concern yet, b/c they give them
up until their 2nd birthday! That's too
long...
on the plus side, she gives me kisses and
hugs!! :d

My son's big sister was exactly like that
untill she was 3 yrs. Old. She would
only say mama and dada for the longest and
other then that shre did the grunts and
whins and points and all that. They went
as far as to bringing her to a speech
therapist. It wasn't untill they stopped
giving her what she wanted and started
making her say what it is she wanted.
Like if she wanted something to drink they
kept it simple at first and all she would
have to say was cup or sippy. Well now
she's 3 and she dosent stop talking. You
just have to give them that extra push and
then let them learn the rest of the way on
there own. She'll get it eventually.
Hope it all works out.

You can't get her to talk.. She will talk
when she is ready. 15 months is still
little.
From the time trey was born, I always told
him what I was doing when doing it (in 2
languages) and I .N.E.V.E.R baby talk him.
His bottle was a bottle and not q
baba's, his food is breakfast, lunch,
supper and not num num's, etc...
When he was starting to talk, I would not
let him have something that I knew he knew
how to say if he would just grunt for it.
I would wait for him to say the word.

I agree, they will talk when they are
ready. My stepdaughter was 19 months old
when my husband and I started dating; she
could not say a whole lot at all. It
seems like she really picked up talking at
about 2 1/2-3 years old. She is now
almost 5 and will not stop talking!!!!!
she now knows words that you wouldn't
expect a 4 year old to know! She has
also picked up a few dirty words from her
mother's house. They will talk soon
enough...Don't rush it.
