So when they start out, like one and a half year olds, 18 months old, the general guideline, I think, when you look at developmental milestones, it'll usually say, like, first words by 12 months. And that is usually majority of kids will have, like, the word mama or dada. They'll have a few words at 12 months. Some kids do not have first words, though, until like 18 months or closer to 21 months, especially kids who are really big motor kids. Kids who are moving around and moving around all over, they tend to be later talkers, and that's totally neurologically wired. The right side of your brain controls physical movement. The left side of your brain is where speech is until a child is three years old and only one part of their brain can grow at a time, so children literally cannot chew gum, walk and talk at the same day. So what happens is, is that I'm a super motor motivated and this tends to be what people think of as little boys, but it's really more just kind of learner, because I've seen just as many late talking girls, kids who are super motorvated. They're the early walkers, or even if they're the regular walkers on time, they're the kids that go straight from crawling to walking to running to climbing, and they're just all about motor. They are see it, do it. Their eyes lead them to go learn, find hands on, figure out how to do it. Here if they tend to be late walkers, their gross motor stuff, sometimes they tend to be on mark or early talkers. And that's because learning how to talk is a hear it, do it. I have to if we could build words our see it, do it kids could do it too. So it kind of depends on where they land. But by 18 months, kids should have a solid, you know, three to five labeling, kind of words. Momma, dadda, milk, juice, puppy, book, car. You know, toys that are favorites, foods that are favorites, things that they have a lot of experience with. They should be also consistently imitating words after an adult. So when you say banana, they say nana, or they say that simple word approximation to it. It shouldn't sound perfect, but it should sound close to the word. Important is we all love our children They're all geniuses. So obviously, sometimes parents are like, oh yeah, they've got 20 words, knowing that, is it really a word, or is it a constant vowel approximation to a word for a lot of things. So like ba for ball, ba for banana, ba for bed, ba for book, so nope, that would be, I have a constant vowel syllable approximation to a lot of words. So knowing that, does it sound close to that target? The constants don't need to be perfect. We'll talk about articulation later. But, um, but, so it sounds sort of like the thing you imitated. Then, as they get to about two years old, they should be able to now, they should be reliably pointing at an object, picture in a book, when you ask them, show me a ball, where's a shoe? Where's a boot? So a picture representation of an object, recognizing an object at like 12, 15 months or 15 months, but now at two, I should be able to find it in a picture. And then also at two is when they should start now be kind of combining two word phrases, more juice, daddy bye, mama up, baby sleep. So those simple action words, ing verbs come later. But those simple like, go, mine, it sometimes starts at two or my, a lot of times it's the grammatical error is okay, it's there. So they're like, mine, baby, yeah, you know. So two are kind of combinations and that and that, they're trying to then still, they're still imitating you. They're still trying to expand. In the previous podcast, we talked a little bit about jargon. So the debigabitdidyou, that can continue on up until about two where it's jargoning with true words in it. Because their brain is hearing conversation, and that is their conversation so big a dig a big a dig banana, big bab dig a dig ging imy more go and so they throw in these true words in the middle of their jargon, okay, and that's they're conversing. That's the only way they can do it. They don't have all those other words to fill in quite yet. So then just kind of keeps emerging and it moves on. Kids around the age of two should be able to and probably can also label a few, but at least be able to point to body parts and clothing when you ask the major body parts, eyes, nose, mouth, ears. When you say, touch your nose. Where's your nose that you will use? Usually and oftentimes, do that better on someone else or on a doll than on themselves, because to see it and point to it is much easier, sure than away versus finding it on me, and they all, all, all confuse eyes and ears. Always. So calm down listeners. Eyes and ears. We don't think those words don't that much alike, but to a small toddler, they do. Tommy's bellies, yeah, whatever you call your tummy, that also is one that they will find. Minor body part, that's not until closer to like four, neck, chin, elbow, knee. So yes, will they learn to do heads, shoulders, knees and toes? Yes. Do they know the body parts? Probably only head, because they've learned it by the imitation of the motor memory of doing it from the song trying it in isolation, maybe not so much.
