Any advice on how to help teach my toddler son to talk?

He'll be three in July, and he doesn't talk yet. He can only say about 15 to 20 words.Any advice on how to help teach my toddler son to talk?
With my first daughter, I had the same anxiety. I wanted her to talk so badly, I listened to every body's advice on how to go about making her talk. The truth is that your son will speak when he's ready. What you are doing is not bad, so keep doing it.n Just as an anecdote, A Lady from the market told me to put my daughter with a pound of tomatillos in the husk, and she would start peeling them one by one, and this focusing task would accelerate her speaking. I joke to her now that if I'd known better, I would have avoided that because now it's hard to get her to stop talking...Any advice on how to help teach my toddler son to talk?
Make sure not to use any baby talk with him. You can try making him ask for what he wants instead of pointing to it. If he wants a cup, try and get him to say cup instead of just pointing to it (if that's what he does). Don't give in and give it to him until he makes some kind of effort. Does he watch Sesame Street or anything? Maybe that could get him more motivated. Some kids don't talk until later on, but most of the time it's because they can get what they want without talking.
my daughter just turned 2 in november and she doesn't shut up sometimes....she watches dora the explorer. she can speak and count in spanish from watching dora....she knows colors and numbers. she even knows some sign language and knows what they mean.....just work with him. that's the only way he is going to learn..make it fun for him.
Don't let him watch Teletubbies, you know how they talk. NEVER use baby talk. Point out things randomly and say, in a full sentence, ';This is a _______.';


I was very talkative a toddler. My mother always read to me. ALWAYS. Scedule a daily reading time, if possible.
Some children are late bloomers. Has his hearing been checked? I'd take to hearing specialist first. If he grunts or points I'd say, ';Tell me what you want';. Does he have older siblings? If so, they might ';interpret'; for him so that he doesn't have to use language.
Normal. Let him learn at his own pace.
Read to him. Read ANYTHING to him! Books, the newspapers, street signs, the backs of cereal boxes.





When you are doing things around the house, TALK to him. Talk to him about anything. Explain to him what you are doing (like folding laundry, doing the dishes, etc...). Just keep talking. If he tries to talk back, stop and listen... even if you have no clue what he is trying to say.
He will talk when he feels like it, but in the mean time, the best thing you can do is talk to him. Do not talk to him in a baby voice, just talk to him in a normal tone using real words. He will surprise you one day trust me. My daughter didn't talk for a long time and one day she just speaking in whole paragraphs (she skipped the sentence phase). He is trying to listen and learn (he is wise) which is probably the best thing he can do at this time.
Try not to pressure, he will sense it and rebel. The best thing to do is label everything with a high pitched tone. Do it while you are driving, at the store, outside at the park, while you are dressing him etc. Every time he responds, acknowledge right away and repeat back every word every time he says anything to you. For example if he points to Elmo and says Elmo, say ';Yay, it is Elmo, he is red!'; Play kids music in the car and at home. Get books with easy pictures and point to the objects in a fun way to get him interested. You have to repeat alot and all the time. This is what I did and my children talk non stop. He will eventually catch up with all his friends. Children develop at their own pace, you just have to relax and turn talking into a game. He will respond better when there is no pressure.
talk to him.
well i sang alot with my son, so i used to start singing a song then act like I was comfused and forgot the words, then he would try and help me by telling me how it really went. ';No mommy its ';please dont take my sunshine away, not today'; maybe it'll work for you. I think they like the idea of knowing more them the all knowing MOM, it makes them feel special or something.
No need to worry too much .Maybe you can take him to see a doctor. As I know some children talk latter than the otheres. Maybe you can turn on the radio or T.V all the time to let him listen more. He would learn a lot invisible.The other way is to let him listen to classical music . It will have a very good effect on his future. Believe me, I am a two children's mom.
try not to push him my three year old was a slow starter but now hes doing fine. he watches all that stuff and believe me hes learning more than you think he is my son can just about tell me all of dora stories and he can sing spongebob and all the other songs he will come around when its time
Talk to him. NOT BABY TALK. Use simple clear words he can pick up easily. Juice...Cup...Mama...up..down...etc
