According to the Mayo Clinic, children are generally saying simple words by their first birthday. But it's important to remember that children vary greatly in their speech development.
Even so, a doctor would likely be concerned if a 2 year old was not yet speaking. Children at this age can typically:
- Point to an object when it's named
- Recognize names of familiar people, objects and body parts
- Say several dozen words
- Use simple phrases
If you are concerned that your child may stutter or have any other problem with language development, consult your family doctor.
