By around 24 months, your little one might surprise you by combining two words! This exciting milestone, known as "telegraphic speech," isn't quite full sentences yet, but it shows they're putting the building blocks of language together.
Before this two-word stage arrives, your toddler needs a strong foundation. Ideally, they'll have at least 50 different words in their vocabulary and be using a variety of word types – nouns (things), verbs (actions), prepositions (location words like "on" or "in") – to build those expressive sentences.
Simplify your own speech a bit. Use lots of two-word phrases yourself, giving them plenty of exposure to this communication style.

When your child uses a single word, build on it!

Take what they say and add a word or two to demonstrate a more complete thought. Did they say "banana"? Respond with "More banana?" or "You want a banana!"

Slow down your speech when interacting with your little one.

Teach your child handy "carrier words" they can use in various situations. Words like "more" (more milk, more tickles, more snack) or "my" (my milk, my cup, my turn) become building blocks for longer phrases.

Many parents worry when their child's speech development seems to take a step back. This is called language regression, and it can be caused by several factors. Let's explore what it means:
What is Language Regression?
It's when a child loses previously learned communication skills. This could involve:
Stopping speaking altogether.
Using fewer words than before.
Losing interest in talking.
Replacing words with gestures or babbling.

What to Look For:
Loss of previously spoken words: This might be accompanied by a decline in non-verbal communication as well.
Slow learning of new words: Your child may take longer to pick up new vocabulary during this regression period.
Reduced communication attempts: They may stop engaging in typical communication behaviors like babbling or trying to start conversations.

What to Do:
If you notice any signs of language regression in your child, the best course of action is to consult your doctor or an SLP. They can assess your child's development, address your concerns, and recommend appropriate resources like speech therapy.

Early intervention is key! By getting help early, you can support your child's communication skills and ensure they reach their full potential.

This isn't just playtime; it's a powerful therapy session, unlocking the potential of speech and language development.

Examples of Play-Based Therapy Activities:

Pretend Play: Using dolls, puppets, or simple props, children can act out real-life scenarios, practicing turn-taking, requesting objects, and expressing emotions.

Board Games: Simple board games can be a great way to work on turn-taking, following directions, and using descriptive language.

Arts & Crafts: Activities like painting, drawing, or building with blocks encourage children to express themselves creatively and practice using descriptive vocabulary.

Sensory Play: Sensory bins filled with sand, water, or play dough can be a calming and engaging way to encourage communication, especially for children who are nonverbal.

By incorporating play into therapy sessions, SLPs can create a fun and stimulating environment where children can develop essential communication skills, build social confidence, and ultimately, unlock their voices.

You might be wondering if your child has a tongue tie.

Here are 6 signs to watch for:

Does your baby struggle to latch on or stay latched during breastfeeding? This could be a sign of a tongue tie, which can make it difficult for them to form a proper seal around the ni**le.
If you experience pain during nursing, it could be related to your baby's inability to latch effectively due to a tongue tie.
Is your baby breathing primarily through their mouth, especially during sleep? This could indicate a tongue tie that's restricting tongue movement and making nasal breathing difficult.
Does your baby seem to have trouble eating while breastfeeding or bottle-feeding? This could be due to limitations caused by a tongue tie.
While not always the case, some tongue ties can contribute to speech difficulties down the line.

REMEMBER!!

The presence of one or more of these signs doesn't automatically mean your baby has a tongue tie. Always consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis.
