how i get my 22 month old to start talking more?

Answers:
Try to be at the same level as your child when you're playing with him/her. For example, if s/he's on the floor, get down on the floor too. If you're tall you might need to lie down.

Watch your child to see what s/he is interested in, and make a 2 or 3 word comment on it. Don't use too many words in one go

Talk less and listen more. (you might find your child is saying more than you realise, you also might not be giving enough time for him/her to respond before you say something else)

Talk about things in the here and now.

Offer your child choices:- e.g. "do you want milk or juice?"

Let your child lead the subject of the conversation, don't try to get him/her to talk about what you want him/her to talk about.

when your child says something, repeat it and add one or two more words, e.g. child says "Cat", you say, "yes, a black cat"

Avoid telling your child they said something wrong or saying "no, not 'tar', it's 'CAR'!"

Don't try to make your child repeat what you say.

If you continue to be worried, speak to a Speech and Language Therapist/Pathologist

by talking more to your 22 month old

22 year old what. if u r talking abt ur baby then dont worry
he or she wil talk when time arrives

START ******* IT Talk more to him or her. That is how she studies language and pronunciation.

YEA TALK MORE, THE BABY WILL RESPOND

talk to it but defiantly not in baby talk it is absorbing everything around it so if u talk to it in baby talk at all it will make your child most likely grow up with a speech impediment and if you have another kid never talk to it in baby talk talk to it in a sophisticated manor

You say more uncomplex words more vowel sounds. sing to her, let her listen to more music. sing simple songs to her. do the patty cake song. good luck! Don't let a toddler do the uh uh thing and point to what
they want. Make them earn it by repeating [what do you want, water, say water.] It takes a lot of patients but
the pay off is great. It builds communication for behaviors
control and for the fun times.

First of all, relax. Children don't really devolop on a strict timeline as some books can lead you to believe. Talk to your child often, read age appropriate books together that name objects. Often, children do not start to talk until they are two years old or older and it is my humble opinion that parents, myself included, often worry about milestones like talking and potty training due to pressure from other parents, media, books, etc...which is not healthy for the child *or* the parent. I have 5 children, ages 20 to 4yrs. I also worked w/ preschool children in child development and have learned from experience that they(children) are all different and all eventually meet these milestones. Occasionally, something may be wrong, but as long as your child sees a pediatrician regularly, they should catch any abnomalities in development as will preschool teachers, etc...
Good luck and feel free to email me with other concerns any time:)
