Language development is one of the most important stages in the growth of children. The little ones learn to talk and communicate through the people they live with.
Therefore, this is the most intensive period of learning and acquisition of speech and language in infants.
To know that your child is on the right track, at 2 years of age you should already know how to say most of the words that we present below.
The names of his close family
For this age, your little one has to know how to say ‘mom’, ‘dad’ and the name of siblings, if he/she has them. The baby may also know how to say ‘baby’, his/her name or another word to refer to themselves.
Baby and baby
If your child lives with more children, these words will become everyday in their vocabulary. They must not necessarily be a baby or a girl, you can say girl or boy or some synonym.
Food
The mealtime is very relevant for the little ones, and it is common that at 2 years the little ones know how to say the name of several foods, such as water, milk, bread, among others.
They can also pronounce the name of some everyday utensils, such as a glass or spoon.
Hello and goodbye
The greetings are part of the favorite words of the children, because they are very easy to pronounce and it is easy for them to identify when to say them.
Yes and no
Like the greeting, yes and yes are not basic words. Children use them to express what they like and what they don’t, and they are very easy to memorize.
Car
Cars also cause fascination in babies. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is one of the first words in his learning.
Dog and cat
Animals cause curiosity in the little ones, and since dogs and cats are common pets, they are the first names to learn. It is important to let you know your correct name, so there is no confusion.
Body parts
At this age, children already have better self-perception and have an interest in how their body works. It is common for them to pronounce body parts such as eyes, hands, nose or mouth.
Pee and Poo
It is also close to 2 years when infants learn to control their sphincters and leave the diaper, which makes them more independent and sets a pattern in their development.
Words like pee, poop, pee or any derivative will be part of your vocabulary.
Please and thank you
These words will be spoken by your baby as long as you have instilled them. It is a way to demonstrate the manners you have learned.
Age
The age of your little one also excites him and is one of the questions he likes to answer. It is common that he knows how to say ‘two’ and even that he can express it with his little hands.
