Discerning Parenting 003 - Two-Year-Old Babbling But Not Yet Talking?
Do either of these situations sound familiar?
Sometimes, I meet kids who are three or four and not yet talking. Often, the mom was already worried way before this. But everyone around her said, “Oh that’s okay, just wait and he’ll start talking before you know it.” Maybe she’ll hear a story about a kid who didn’t talk until he was four and is now very talkative. So the mom ends up feeling like she’s worried about nothing.
On the other hand, I also encounter moms who are worried because their two-year-old doesn’t know the ABCs or can’t name flashcards yet. Maybe they feel a lot of pressure because of what they see on the internet about what lessons their toddlers should be having.
That’s why in this episode, I’ll talk about what language skills most two-year-olds would have. And what to do if your two-year-old is babbling but not yet talking.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
- The ONE communication skill your toddler needs to develop at this age (and no, it has nothing to do with naming flash cards or reciting the alphabet!)
- The often-overlooked "hidden skills" when it comes to communication.
- What exactly you should be looking for to know that your toddler's development is on the right track
