Accepted Answer

Thanks for sharing. At 2 years and 7 months, most children can usually say 50 or more words and start forming two-to-three-word sentences like “mama come” or “want juice.” If your son is only saying 3–4 words, it’s definitely something to keep an eye on, and early action can help a lot.

Here’s what you can do to help your son speak more: 1. Talk, Talk, Talk Describe everything you’re doing: “Mama is cutting apple,” “Let’s wash hands.” Repeat simple words often. 2. Read Books Daily Use picture books with animals, vehicles, and daily things. Point and name: “Look, a dog! Woof woof!” Let him point too — give him time to respond. 3. Use Music and Rhymes Play and sing nursery rhymes like "Twinkle Twinkle," "Old MacDonald." Do actions with your hands and encourage him to copy. 4. Limit Screen Time Avoid mobile or TV as much as possible. Passive watching doesn’t help speech — interactive talking does. 5. Play with Him Use toys like animals, cars, kitchen sets, etc. Talk about what’s happening: “Car is going fast,” “Dog is eating.” 6. Give Choices Ask: “Do you want apple or banana?” — This encourages him to speak to choose. 7. Expand His Words If he says “bus,” say “Yes! Big yellow bus!” — It shows how to add words. When to Consult a Specialist:

You should talk to a pediatrician or speech therapist if:

He uses less than 20–25 words Doesn’t combine words (like “want milk”) Doesn’t follow simple instructions Doesn’t try to copy words you say Prefers gestures over speaking Has no improvement in last 3–4 months

Early speech therapy can be very helpful. It's not something to be scared of—it’s just like giving a child a little extra help to catch up.
