My son turned 2 in Feb. He says about 20-30 words and repeats his ABC's Other than that he doesnt talk. He also has fluid in his ears and has had many ear infections. Maybe thats the problem.

My soon to be 3 year old daughter also will spin off into repeating words and now even mimicking words I say when talking to her - she will also have a full "conversation" on her toy phone (to granny) and she its amazing how she answers to the "questions or what you would think is said on the other line". But langugae also came out when she started daycare - she is now learning three if the 11 official South African languages, Sesotho, English and afrikaans...so cute to hear her combine all three languages

oh and real quick: im not concerned that he just wont say things at all cus like i said he does say a few words but when i try to get him to say words that he's heard a million times it comes out and doesnt really sound anything like the right word...its like his own little language wich is fine i cant get fustrated with him it will only make it worse... but he has an issue with his ears wether or not its a bad one i dont know so im hoping there are no hearing issues. Going to get a second opinion on that one....

well, supposedly they'll talk when they are ready is what everyone is telling me but im right there with you because Aidan is 2 1/2 now and says maybe 20-30 words (doesnt even come close to repeating his alphabet) he can count 1,2,3 and says things like thank you, mommy, puppa, normal everyday words but no phrases whatsoever, not even like backwards. I am starting to think i may have to get him into some kind of speech therapy or something. My daycare lady (wendy curtis, who is great : >) says that its a good idea and cant do anything but help. i guess they will come to the house and everything to work with him...something to start looking into asap!! Anyone have any tips at all that may help us ??? he is a little genious when it comes to technology though lol its too funny. i cant ask him to point to any body part or object and he can do it, he can open dvd case take it out press eject put it in and press play lol and he can play all kinds of toddler games online using the mouse by himself and dragging and dropping. sorry for the novel i just cant quite figure out why he wont talk for me : ( anyone have any ideas??

My daughter she babbles stuffs but shes also says her ABC's her way most of the letters aren't as clear but she say it from A-Z and she's also counting from 1-10 and singing songs.......................................She talks but of course not as clear as I would like her to. I also realizes that she likes to whisper..........and speaks softly.

My two year old will only say words that he wants to say. When he is playing in his room he will say all kinds of things that I did not know he could say, but If i try to teach him to say something he doesn't seem interested and usually will not repeat them. On the other hand, when he visits my mom he will say just about anything for her? some of he words are not very clear either. Everyone says not to worry about it, but my in laws stress me out sometimes over it.

fluid in the ear is called glue ear and yes it would be the problem. go and talk with ur gp and get a letter to the ears nose and throat dr as soon as u can . he may need gommets and if so it will improve his speech very quickly

at 2 my daughter says everything! she knows what every object in our house is called often i think she is abit strange as she knows too much and often more than i teach her! she saw snow for the first time recently and told me it was snow i was gobsmacked as i never told her what it was. she can count to 18 (no a, b , cs yet but i will work on it!) and says a good 300 - 400 + words (50 of wich are animals (she learned rhinosoruos at 18 months =o) and all of her colours and shapes inc iregular shapes like octogon!!!) she shocks me everyday!!! she knows wich way is left and wich is right and knows about 10 nusery rhymes and prob about 5 tv theme sons too!
she talks in almost adult sentances like mummy lets do some washing or "mummy what is that very loud noise it makes me scared."

Our son is actually quite the jabber jaws. He talks more than his older sis who is about 1 1/2 years older than him. I wouldn't think the ear infections would be a problem, but who knows. Our boy has had tubes since he was about 9 months old due to his constant ear infections.
I see you posted several months ago, so maybe by now, you are happy with how your son is doing--he's 3 now? They develop at their own pace, so I wouldn't be too worried yet. Best of luck!

My daughter is 2 turned 2 On Decmember 4th. Her first words was around 4 months and was saying sentences before a year old. She can say 100's of words ( Doesn't always what they mean picks up words very easy.) and compelete sentences, abc's, numbers up to 20 and colours. I am sure it has to do with the ear infections it has be hard to learn now words when it's hard to hear them properly. Your little one will get there!

My son had fluid on his ears. His docs said that putting tubes in his ears will open a new world. He had surgery when he was three. You can not tell he ever had a speech problem.

Ear infections suck. I think my 2 year old son is an average 2 year old. He can hold a conversation about his favorite shows, tell me about his day, tell me what he sees, identifying objects, conveying emotions verbally.

my daughter now makes meaningful sentences and can communicate well. yes she pronounces some of the words wrong but she can hold her own with other children and grown ups
i guess each child develops at their own pace and we cannot rush them

My daughter had the same problem but my son whom turned 2 in May only started talking after 2yrs now hes jibbering away but only to close family .He doesnt know his abcs he doesnt like counting but he talks a lot. One thing I have learnt is kids differ what the other does may not be what teh other will do. My daughter knew her abc's early too but is still developing her speech at 7yrs of age.

My son is about the same and has had no eat infections or fluid. Abc's he loves and he has conversations that we dont understand and about 20-30 words as well. My
Pediatrician wasnt to concerned because he said some just start later but the fact that he says words is a good sign vs nothing at all.

My son turned 2 in September and when he had is 2 year old check up the doctor told me he was very delayed in his speech and she thought is was his hearing because he to has constant ear infections and has had tubes in his ears since he was 9 months old. Well just in the last month my son has not stopped talking and I do not think it is his hearing. Every child is different and they will talk when the feel like it.

Children develop diffrently, my daughter talks way too much. she has a huge vocabulary. I think it depends on the child and maybe what you expose them to my daughter is either with me, my husband or her grandparents we have never spoke to her like a baby we have always used correct words for things.

my 2 yr old son talks up a storm always asking what things are where people are repeating just about everything... but then again he has an older brother so i think talking came natural your son could also just be shy... which is normal for some children even in preschool i wouldn't worry to much until you talk to his doctor...

OMG!! My daughter talks so much, it's scary!!! She repeats a like of things, so my husband and I have to filter our conversations in front of her. She's also kind of tall for her age (tallest in her daycare class), so people think she's older than she is... sometimes I have to remind myself that she's only two years old.

I dont know if someone has already said this but
when my now 6yr old was 2 he had tubes in his ear to drain his ears. They told me that there could be a possibility that his speech woudlnt be as well as others.
He constantly had ear infections since he was born. And after sugery hes ear infections stoped & his speech progressed well as any other child.

As a teacher I was always taught to look out for audible delays. A person learns thier vocabulary through listening and participating in conversation. From there, phonemic skills are tackled. It is very important that you not only take your child to the pediatrician, but also to a specialist. Specialist can run test that can save your child hardships in the future.

My daughter is wayyy more advanced in speech then my son was at her age. My daughter, Chanel, just turned two in September and she has a vocabulary of at least 100 words, though probably more. She can communicate with adults no problem. She has started using longer sentences now also, like before she would say "More juice," now she will say "Mommy, I want some more juice". She can repeat ANYTHING you ask her too though, when i am going over the alphabet and counting, etc with my son she will repeat everything. Sometimes she will just randomly start singing part of a song we heard the other day or a show i didn't think she was even paying attention too. Just proves that they really do absorb everything!! She has also repeated a few things she shouldn't have:O I think a big part of it was having her big brother talking to her 24/7 since she was born. My son was the first born so he didn't have that. They also say that girls are generally more advanced then boys, and so far i agree that they do seem to be, with my children anyways.

Each child develops at different stages. Don't get discouraged when reading about children who happen to develop quicker than your child.
Regarding fluid in ears. Yes that can be a factor with speech. It was best explained to me as hearing underwater. You can hear, but not clearly. I took my son to an Ear Nose and Throat Dr. where they found the fluid and my son actually didn't pass his first hearing test. He did a few courses of special antibiotics and thankfully most of the fluid was gone. The other alternative would be tubes in your child's ear to drain them.
Once the fluid is no longer a problem, the speech still needs to be addressed. In the US, each state provides early intervention evaluations and possible services to children who qualify. This ends at the age of 3. An evaluation can not hurt. You as the parent always has the right to decline services if you so desire and it is kept private. The earlier possible issues are addressed the less effort that will be needed later on.
Bets of luck and stay positive!

Wow I'm reading about alot of advanced kids... my 25 month old can form some short sentences, some words don't sound right yet but I'm not worried, her last check up I was told that she should be making 2-word sentences and trying to count/alphabet but not really knowing them... she's doing longer sentences than that... with help can count to 10 and has no interest in the alphabet but can recognize some letters.

I worried about my daughter when she was 2. Even had her evaluated. Then about 27 months she just started talking and never shuts up. Enjoy your peace now! lol My son is just 17 months, he is very quiet. I have been told that boys tend not to talk as much.

My son just turned two yesterday and I have had him assessed by the Early On program for speech delay. He had 5-10 words around 12-18 months but has "lost" them. He wouldnt say any words at all around 20 months. He is now speaking at a 13-15 month capacity and is being assessed by the speech therapist tomorrow. They feel that since he is getting help early he will have no issues when he is ready for school

My son will be 3 in Feb. He is saying many words, but no full sentences. His words aren't very clear either, so he usually points or drags me to what he wants.
