Every mother awaits her
child's first spoken words. It's like their dream to be addressed as mama come
true. The first word the child usually speaks is mama or dada or papa easy to
say and that's majorly what we want to hear them say too. Simple words of maa,
paa or dada make that one simple moment into a special and memorable moment.
Children usually say their
first words by their 1st birthday and by their 2nd birthday they should be
saying at least 2 or 3 word sentences. However, some kids say it much earlier
in comparison to many and a few speak much later in comparison to all.
I know, it can create a
huge panic when we realize our kid hasn't spoken yet and our friend's kid or
other kids of the same age are already on their way to pronounce more words.I
know it is scary, but there is no reason to panic. Speech development in some
cases is known to get delayed as children develop their speech as and when then
want to and you cannot force them to speak. It is generally noted that girls in
comparison will always speak faster and way sooner than boys. Your child comes
into the late speech development category that too only if he has not spoken
even a word and he is 20 odd months old as by this time. We expect babies to
learn atleast 10 to 15 generally used words.
Usually, a child should be
saying atleast 2 to 3 words sentences by their 2nd birthday and by their 3rd
birthday simple words and sentence understanding should have been developed. By
the age of 4 your baby should be able to understand all instructions and
pronounce her words correctly, and by 5 your baby should be a non-stop chatter
box. Though this may be the case of many children, but in some cases this may
not be the case for all children. Some children start their speech as late as 2
or 3 years old.
