Is there something wrong if my two year old doesn't talk?

My daughter will be 2yrs old mid August. People have questioned why she does not talk. She just grunts or makes sounds kind of like a minion.she just started babbling about a month or two ago. She will say words then stop saying them. She's said mommy and dada for months. Then she started saying "Hi" then stopped. Then she started saying "No"...and stopped. Then "Baby" and stopped...then "barbie" then stopped...now she is saying "Ma" and "doggy". I find it strange that she knows words but chooses not to say them after a week. I read that if a baby feels like there baby talk and sounds are understood they do not see a need to rush to learn words. Is this true? Because I can decode her minion sounds and no exactly what she wants w out her using words. She also will not mimick words. If I say to say something she will put forth effort to NOT say the word. Is this normal?

    Gov't is killing you with highfrequencyelectricity. Theotokos Virgin Mary gave prayers to "Schema-nun Antonia" on how to save aborted babies from hell. If you pray these prayers diligently, aborted babies are released from hell. On each painted nail there are forty demons. Smoking is censer to the devil.Using foul language calls upon Pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens.America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion;using contraceptives for one year = five aborted kids.Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of pants (second generation cesarean will be infertile).Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell until Final Judgement; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chippedusing IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside your home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs/brains; stay away from cats [Athanasius 3rd of Constantinople]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (dome); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on three stalactite pillars (The Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreamsare from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7530 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground and because earth is heating up. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash (Tibet) 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath double ocean floor of Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean). There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "Christ is here; Christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He'ssurrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms/hypnosis; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flourfrom mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm)because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your forearm, then you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign ofthe cross (last mercy for you will be to cut yourforearm off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't usingchemtrails; they're also in gov't food andmedicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of abortedfetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human fleshis in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging,anticancer, vaccines, perfume, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-15 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse,Christians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos VirginMary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Unforgivablegreen666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (WorldPassport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyescan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. GabrielUrgebadze said thattheydoitonindexfingerwhenthey scan your finger. Basically, trytoavoidnewdocuments at all cost. Policewill microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, greenmark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotoperaypeopletoo. Antichrist will also release prisoners/insaneasylumpeople tomarkpeople. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with OrthodoxChristians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can'ttrack you; burn documents because they're fromSatan. TheMostHolyTrinity gives you a name during baptism; devil gives an antiname during antibaptism (ex. SocialSecurityNumber). People who die with these Satanicdocuments go to concentrationcamp in hell to await FinalJudgement; once the BEASTComputer is burned down, souls will be released for FinalJudgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceasedrelatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristiannames given during antibaptism by the beastsystem; or just burn thesedocumentsbecause gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Prophecy from halfamillennium ago describes FinalJudgement like this: Jesus was very upset with people who had littleboards (plasticcards) in their hands because they wanted discount from the antichrist. Givetocharity in the name of ArchangelMichael; he rescues people from temporaryhell twice a year [at midnight September18-19 and similarly on November20-21; pray at these times on your knees remembering the deceased by names (adding "and relatives by flesh up to Adam") so that they arerescued if they're in hell] (or brings them up alevel, that is, to a level with lesspunishment;eventually, people arefreed). Feed thepigeons;when pigeons bowdown, people are savedfrom temporaryhell. It's a big sin to rememberthe deadwithwreaths (because demons put these wreaths on their necks if they're inhellwith theirwrists tied up behind their back while hanging by their wrists), meat,alcohol,sweets,andworldlymusic. Demons print icons of saints/crosses/8sidedstarofTheotokosVirginMary in newspapers/products so that you throw these newspapers/products in the trashblasphemingthesesaints. Crosses on solesofshoes and backofpants are blasphemy. Demons makecarpets with crosses and put them on sidewalks so that people walk on crosses. Playingcards mockhow Jesus sufferedonthecross: clubs(cross on which Jesus wascrucified), diamonds (fournails Jesus was crucified with), hearts (sponge with vinegar that Jesuswas given to drink),spades (spear with whichJesus waspierced).Cremationisdevilworship; only blasphemers such as Lenin should be burned; if Lenin is buried, earth will be polluted, and China will attack Russia because of this. AfterChinaattacksRussia, RuskiOrthodoxTsar (shown by resurrected SeraphimofSarov) willcome topowerinRussia;this Tsar will slay traitors inside Church and gov't; asaresult, Russia will be the only country not under the antichrist.Ecumenism=263heresies;each heresy leads to hell. In 2006 in Moscow (that's why Moscow will sink),representatives from most religions signed a document where it says that all religions worship the same SupremeBeing [aka thedevil]. Priests who participate in ecumenism will have Pagans walking on theirheads in hell. ArkhimandriteAntoninKapustin left a prophecy that Church of All Russian Saints in Gorny Monastery, EinKarem, Israel will be blessed by forerunner of antichrist; pseudoPatriarchKirillofRussia and MarkofBerlin blessed thischurchin2007.

    It sounds like you are giving in to her too much.  I remember when my youngest went through.............he would want something but just babbled.  I finally told him to speak plainly and clearly or he would not get it.  It took him a day or so, of babbling, and discovered I would just ignore him - then he instantly asked for thing plainly and clearly.

    Do you recognize or repeat when she speaks? Repeat or emphasize words she has said. 

    I would not respond to any of the noises she makes, but only to words. Enunciate very clearly when you talk, and be sure you are giving her easy to repeat words. Design things that will be just for her to repeat. Label things in your home and/or environment. Use picture word dictionaries each night before bed, labeling things and talking about them. Be sure she can hear, well.

    If those don't work, try the doctor.

    What you're describing definitely warrants an evaluation by a speech language pathologist (SLP).  The average two year old has between 100 and 200 words and is putting words together.  From what you're describing, it sounds like she may have some great non-verbal communication which is good to hear and a solid foundation to build on!  Based off of what little you've shared, I also wonder if she may have some phonological issues or other speech sound issues that are impacting her ability to be understood.  These wouldn't be able to be diagnosed until she has more words, but I have had children before who we quickly discovered had more words than the parents were initially picking up on, they were just so hard to understand!  It could just be a language issue, but an SLP who actually interacts with her should be able to give you an idea of how likely that is.  If you're in the States, I'd recommend doing a search for "(your state) early intervention referral" which should put you on the right track.  Therapy services through your early intervention should be free or low cost to you. You can also talk to your pediatrician about it or directly contact an agency that offers therapy services.  Do not wait - if she doesn't need services then there's no harm, but if she does need them, then the earlier the better.  Language growth is exponential at this age, so if she is language delayed the longer you wait to get her intervention, the further behind she'll become.  You're absolutely doing the right thing by questioning her development and seeking advice.

    ETA:  2 is absolutely not "too young" to start speech therapy.  18 months is generally the age when children who aren't acquiring language as expected are referred.  If a child gets over 24 months with only a few words, I am extremely disappointed that they weren't referred sooner because we've already lost so much time that we could have been changing the trajectory of their language development.

    If your child has an older sibling, that could  e a reason for delayed speech. 

    My boys are 21 months apart. The older child obviously learned to talk first, so I realized he was seeking for his brother. Therefore the youngster had someone talking for him so he did not make much of an effort, which delayed his speech.  Until one day, my older son was at playschool.  I was on the phone while my younger son was underfoot. I was so shocked to hear him say, as clear as day "Mommy, cookie and muck, peese" I nearly dropped the phone!

    If there no other children speaking for your child or if you are giving your daughter the opportunity to speak, then give her until her next scheduled doctor''s visit to voice your concerns.

    Unrelated funny story...when my youngest was 17 months old, I was on the plumbing depth at a store when before I knew it, my youngest pulled his pants down and took off his diaper and peed in the display toilet. Really. From then on he basically potty trained himself and when he had an accident, he brought me a diaper and layer down on the floor. My "easy" child, indeed! 

    Children do things at their own pace. It is odd that your daughter spoke some words and stopped and of course you are concerned. But at her age  I am not quite sure she could participate in speech therapy  so at her 2 year check up, talk to her doctor.

    some times there is. I would take baby to speech therapist just to see. they can recommend the right things to do.

    or doctor to go see.  some times it's trauma that has effected them. they just have to be reassured all is ok. lots of love security in their lives. all's ok.

    Please bring this up with your daughter's pediatrician.  "Normal" is pretty broad when it comes to speaking and 2-year-olds.  Some say words or two-word phrases. Some speak in paragraphs.  Some have very clear diction/pronunciation, many do not.  Some kids babble and struggle and then eventual get to talking.  Some are quiet and then come out with complete sentences. 

    Any time a parent is concerned about development or reaching developmental milestones, they should discuss it with the child's doctor.  There are hearing tests and other developmental tests that can be done now, and others that can be done if your daughter fails to progress in the next year.  

    It is also important to look at the whole child.  Is she walking well? Does she have appropriate hand-eye coordination. Does she appear to hear things she canot see? Does she seem to see well?  Does she seem interested when you read to her?  Can she indicate knowledge non-verbally? For example, can she point to a ball or something green or determine the difference between a picture of a dog and a cat? Does she make eye contact with other people?  Is she generally happy or is her standard mode one of frustration or defiance?  Can/will she follow simple directions?

    It's not typical. But I wouldn't worry to much. Find a specialist. 

  • 9 months ago

    Since she's started saying words and then stopped saying them, I think I would consider asking her pediatrician for a referral for early childhood evaluation (your local school district might also be a resource). Are there other things going on developmentally? If speech is the only issue, then speech therapy could be beneficial. I've also met a couple kids who just didn't find it necessary to talk because everyone around them was able to understand and get them what they wanted without words.... of course, around three years old they decided to talk and haven't stopped.

    Of course there is something wrong.  Is your pediatrician not going over milestones at your appointments every 3 to 6 months?????
