I read the average 2 year old knows about 50 words. My kid knows 1000 and he will turn 2 in 2 days. He can ride a bike with no training wheels. He can also do 2 pull ups. He knows all the basic colros and count to 100 in English, to 20 in Spanish, and to 100 in Asian. He can sing over 10 songs by heart. He can also take apart a DVD player and put it back together....blindfolded. LOL.

First thing I want to say to all these moms that are taking this concerned mothers question as an opportunity to brag about how many words your child knows and how brilliant they are doesn't help. Mothers like that get on my nerves! Have some compassion. Second thing I want to say is no you shouldn't be concerned yet. My daughter wasn't speaking that much at all at 18 months and now she is right on track! Don't worry so much, kids seem to talk all of a sudden!

My daughter will be 2 in 5 days and she can count to 20 and knows her abc's. She doesn't know any colours yet, but we read "Colours" everyday and paint, draw, and use chalk on a regular basis. She knows sign language as well. She can cut, with children's scissors, and paste. She loves dancing, jumping (really high for her tiny stature), singing running, and making wishes on dandelions. She eats very well with a fork and spoon and she can even cut her own meat. The joy of my life. :)

my daughter will be 2 in a few weeeks, and i can have conversations with her. she speaks in clear sentences like " i dont want to eat that banana" and "i have to tee tee on the potty". she repeats anything we say. she knows her ABC's and the sounds they make, and can count to 15. I wasnt sure what the average was because i have a nephew only a couple months younger who can only put 2 words together at a time, and youre lucky to be able to understand him.

my son is 20 months he can say many words but every day he learns a new one he repeats ealmost everything we say and learns so easely. man he knows his numbers until 5 for the moment but he knows some animals just by showing the picture or asking him where that animal is in a book. he is polite by saying hi to everyone he sees and shake their hands and when they live he sais bye and some times shakes their hand. That is awesome he also sais please when he wants something such as milk, or water.

My son is almost two. He chatters away plenty but I don't understand more than a dozen or so words. He wants to know the names of everything so that's good. And we read a lot. I know he is learning for sure. Many people have told me that boys can sometimes speak late. He doesn't have any other kids around him to help him out. If we have a second child, I suspect they will have an easier time of it with my son to help them.

My son Brayden is only two years old and he is saying 600-800 words. Im a fourth grade teacher with 3 kids Brayden(2) Brittany&Brain(twins)4 they were walking at 6 m. and crawling at 5m.i bought things that will help them devolp faster at 3m. and i my hubby got walking toys i teach them there # an letters at 10m. if your little ones will be ccalm and sit down for maybe 10-20 mins then your finr i have a little girl on the way her name is brianna i will be doing the same treat ment for her 2

My son is almost 2 and is just now really starting to take off on his vocabulary. I was worried for a while because my daughter was speaking sentences and having conversations by 2. I've been told its a boy thing, but I don't know if I belive that. I've come to realize that each child is different and moves at their own pace. I don't think my son has hit the 100 word mark like this article suggests is average, but he is well on his way!

The most important conversations to have with your doctor are concerns about your child’s development. You know your child best and studies have shown that parents are the first to detect 70-80% of all disabilities in children. Delay in reaching developmental milestones is usually the first symptom of CP. If you have concerns about your child developing normally, it is urgent that you share them with your child’s doctor.

My daughter is two years and a month old. She qualified for oral motor therapy and special education. She still cannot say more than 10 words. I took her for a hearing test. She had a tremendous amount of fluid in her middle ear and needed ear tubes. The ENT believes we will have a very different little girl on our hands...always go with your instincts.

My son is 2 years old and can only say maybe 10 words. I was told that he needs to see a speech theapist. But i don'y know what to do. I have people all the time telling me that he will eventually start talking and that i better watch it that when he startes talking that he would shut-up.

my baby girl is 18 months old and she is bilingual already. She knows about 200 words in spanish and 200 in english as well. She says thank you, please, your welcome, bless you, etc. She can count till 10 and I she can say sentences with 3-4 words. She is also watching your baby can read program and I really think it has a lot to do with her super fast learning skills.

i have a 2 year old son who speaks good he repeats everything you say or do he is like a sponge.he can say his abc's,counts up to 10 knows sign language also knows his colors,but every kid is different and is smart in there own way :)

my son just turned 3 and he speaks like his about 4 or 5 at times and then he goes so fast i lose track fo what hes says it becomes hard to understand him kaila

My son was talking a little at two, but he wasn't putting two and three word sentences together. His doctor recommended calling for an evaluation, but she wasn't overly concerned. We called and he did qualified for 2 hours of speech therapy a week. Long story short, he just turned three and now talks your ear off. He responded really well to the therapy. Like another comment said, he was advanced in all motor skills...maybe spending too much energy there! All kids ARE different...but get help if you can!

My son is 26months and hardly talks at all. It really bothers me bc he gets so frusterated. We are having a hearing test done in a few days and then a speech test a few weeks. Im so nervous but I just want him to be happy and be able to express himself!!
