Most babies can say Mommy and Daddy by the time they are 2 – but they’ll need to be able to say more!
Researchers have come up with a list of 25 essential words every 2 year old should know:
Mommy
Daddy
baby
milk
juice
hello
bye-bye
yes
no
dog
cat
ball
nose
eye
banana
cookie
car
hot
thank-you
bath
shoe
hat
book
more
all gone
Experts say kids who haven’t mastered this list might not just be late talkers — they could be showing signs of autism, developmental delays or hearing problems. If you’re worried your child isn’t chatty enough – turn off the TV. Kids develop language more quickly if they are engaged in conversation instead of parked in front of kids’ programs.
