#AskTheExpert my daughter is 2yr9 m old.she is not starting talking yet although she understands my commands and follow them.M very much worried.plz help.she only says Mama papa .

A. Although your child should be speaking clearly by age 4, they may mispronounce as many as half of their basic sounds; this is not a cause for concern. By age 5, your child should be able to retell a story in their own words and use more than five words in a sentence.
