Sometimes language delays occur along with these behaviors.
If your child's development seems delayed or shows any of the behaviors in the following list, tell your child's doctor. Perhaps say a few 3-word sentences like "I want juice" or "You go bye-bye."īe understood by others (or by adults) about half of the time. Say several 2-word phrases like "Daddy go," "Doll mine," and "All gone." Point to many body parts and common objects.įollow 1-step commands without a gesture like "Put your cup on the table." New word per week between 11/2 and 2 years. They will use gestures and words with you or with a favorite stuffed animal or doll. Name a few common objects and pictures when asked.Įnjoy pretending (for example, pretend cooking). Point to interesting objects or events to get you to look at them too. Get objects from another room when asked. Point to items they want that are out of reach or make sounds while pointing.įollow simple commands, first when the adult speaks and gestures, and then later with words alone. Take turns " talking" with you-listen and pay attention to you when you speak and then resume babbling when you stop. Look where you point when you say, "Look at the _."īabble with intonation (voice rises and falls as if they are speaking in sentences). Respond to their name most of the time when you call it. Look for and be able to find where a sound is coming from. Even when there are delays, early intervention can make a significant difference.
If you haveĪny questions about your baby's development, ask your child's doctor-the sooner the better. Keep in mind that they are only guidelines. Following are generalĭevelopmental milestones. Milestones during the first 2 yearsĬhildren develop at different rates, but they usually are able to do certain things at certain ages. Learn how children communicate and what to do when there are concerns about delays in development. Your baby is able to communicate with you long before they speak a single word! A baby's cry, smile, and responses to you help you to understand their needs.
