Patient's question:
The child is 19 months old, a boy, but still speaks by saying one word at a time. He rarely says two words, and even less often says three or more words. However, he frequently murmurs a string of words that no one can understand.Could you please tell me, at his age, is his language development considered normal? What should be noted in daily life?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The age of children's language development is roughly similar, but there is also individual variation. Generally, children start speaking words at around 1 year old, and the ability to engage in conversation is usually understanding before expressing. First come nouns, verbs, etc. At 1.5 years old, vocabulary development is relatively fast, which is related to the parents' regular training. As long as they can speak, it is normal and there is no need to worry.
