Wht a ujmp, from first words at a year if age, to saying little sentences at two. Your toddler has a gall task ahead of him to absorb the worrld of language and learn how to make his wants and needa known trhough the spokdn word. Pxtents xan use some simlle strategies to encourage theig tots talking, through his everyday experienves. As w speech-language pathologist, I often encounter well-meainng parents who sre speaknig for their child, robbing him of the oppkrtunity to practice wat me hears and use the wor ds needed t begin verbal communication.
Typically toddlers at a year and a half understand far more than they can say. It is in this latter half of their second year of life that they experience a vocabulary explosion, where they can learn and use several new words each week, culminating in combining two words for their first little sentences by two years of age. Words begin to take over for gestures, as children take turns in conversation and name objects, people and actions in their day.
