When do babies/toddlers begin to talk?

it depends on several things... for example, how many languages do they have to deal with at the same time... if only one, then starting at about 1 year... if more than one, 18-24 months
 
You are too much. LOL

Mine weren't able to form sentences until they were at least 3 or so. By 2 they could put words together but weren't real sentences. None said their first word until well after a year of age.
 
Well, I don't know. I imagine a little babbling could be cute. I don't want the kid to be taking too much attention away from me with him reciting fucking Macbeth, so that's a consideration too. It would be cool if I could get him to say something like "he likes you" or "you're pretty".

Just make sure that he has had a nap.

NOTHING CUTE ABOUT A CRANKY TODDLER.... and I mean

NOTHING!!!!
 
Biologically speaking, the normal age is around 2. The reason for this is because the voicebox drops giving the ability to form words. This is the reason chimps though very close in development before the age of 2 cannot be taught to speak
 
LOL....when I was in the market, I didn't really talk too much to guys with kids with them, because I assumed that they were married. Dogs are better chick magnets because you don't have to explain that it isn't your dog.
 
They don't need to talk, trust me. As long as they could stand and take a few steps, it's all good. Even if they're in a stroller and not walking, they're too cute to get passed by. They WILL attract the womens.

At my kid's daycare, I have to wear an "I'm married" shirt to keep the single moms away.



Yes, my wife bought THEM for me! ouch.
 
i heard my first babbles from both mine at about 8mths (maybe a bit sooner) but total sentences were a bit later... Both my kids made their first full sentence, understandable at less than 14mts.
 
our boy is 16 months and is pretty much limited to pointing and grunting with the occasional "da da" here and there. the women still flock language or no.
 
Okay, I'm learning something here. The ability to speak is not necessary (funny, I could apply that to the womens I'm going for as well).
 
KB.... (now this is if you can actually see what I'm saying... if not would someone quote me? )

The more you read and talk to a child the faster he/she will pick up english. I'm not talking baby babble... gogo this and googoo that... I mean begin to speak to that child in full english.

I'm no damn expert in all of this and granted I still have my ups and downs with both my children, but they are both very smart kids. I began reading to them before they could even comprehend what I was saying. I read and read and talked and talked to them, but never did the whole ooogllly oooglyy thing. More of what I battle with now is the backlash of a broken home, to which I TAKE ENTIRE BLAME FOR! Things are taking the turn for the better, and I have and will always have positive words for both of them, no matter their struggles.

IMO, (and that may count for nothing) but I believe it helps them to strive for better. If you begin talking to a child with full sentences, then thats what he/she will pick up... if you gooogooo gaaagaaa... then thats what he/she will pick up.

thats just my

We have twin girls. . .they're 6 now. By the time they were 2, one was reading "Dick and Jane" type books and the other was putting together 100 piece puzzles.

My son will be 1 in a few days. . .he's babbling. . .kitty, kitty. . .doggy. . .ma ma. . .da da. . .etc. . .he's really cute and the ladies absolutely adore him and he loves them right back. . .makes eye contact with them, smiles once he sees that he has their attention. . .the kid's definitely got better game than his daddy ever had. :)

'Baby talk' is actually found to be a more effective means of communicating with toddlers. Someone told me this and I didn't believe it so i had to do research and found the proof.

well....

I've two kids, and have a total of 6 direct nieces and nephews, and then a total of 3 others that adopted me as godmother (only one is).... and not sure where the info comes from, but I sadly have to disagree here. its cute... its cuddly, but it isn't mentally stimulating. Why would you wanna gogogogogogogo... when you can stimulate the mind with much more. Sure it gets there attention, but how many people actually sit there and read to their child at 6mts old... even though he or she may not understand it, its much more productive and stimulating than googogogogo...
 
I talked alot of baby talk to mine, no gogo gaga, but alot of giberish.
She's freaking smart as shit, scored one of the highest math scores in her school on a state test.
So there.
Its freakin awesome when they're at the age when they sound like a bird/hindu.
 
there is a huge expansion of their vocabulary around age 2, but its different for every child.

It's more impressive though.

Scenario: Killah's leaving the record store with toddler as this walks by-

100% correct

You should talk to kids in NORMAL english - not baby talk. Don't say "want ba-ba" instead of "Do you want your bottle?" The more you talk NORMALLY and read NORMALLY to your child, the quicker they pick up language and reading.

Children, by kinder age, need to have AT LEAST 1000 hours of reading (reading to them) in order to have a fighting chance. Some will succeed without it, but it is a struggle.


THAT SAID, KB - toddlers, happy toddlers, are magnets for attention. There is nothing cuter than a little one walking around! Even before walking age - they are stinking cute! :)
 
Holy balls people, this thread isn't about my passion for teaching the future of this country how to fucking develop proper verbal skills!
