POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. At 2 years and 3 months, children generally start to say simple sentences, although there can be some variation in speech development. It's common for children to initially say single words, and then gradually move to two- or three-word combinations. However, some children might take a little longer to start forming full sentences.
Here's a general guideline for speech development at this age:
By 2 years: A child might say 50-100 words and begin combining two words into short phrases (e.g., "want cookie," "go car").
By 2-3 years: Many children start using 2-3 word sentences like "I want milk" or "Mommy help me."
By 3 years: The child should ideally be able to use simple sentences and be understood by others, though some mispronunciation is common.
When to be concerned:
If your child is not using at least 50 words or combining two words by age 2, it might be worth consulting a speech-language pathologist or your pediatrician for further evaluation.
If there are other signs of developmental delays (e.g., difficulty understanding language, lack of social interaction, or trouble with motor skills), it’s a good idea to seek professional advice.
Steps you can take:
1. Engage in Conversations: Encourage her to speak by talking to her regularly and responding to her attempts to communicate, even if they’re just single words.
2. Read Together: Reading aloud and discussing pictures can help her language development.
3. Model Sentences: If she says one word, try to expand it into a simple sentence to encourage her to use more words.
If you are concerned, it’s always helpful to talk to her pediatrician or a speech therapist who can assess her specific needs and provide targeted strategies.
