My two year old son only has certain words that he says, i cannot get him to learn new words, any advice?
Answers:
My two year old girl is the same way. She knows how to say YES clearly and that's about it. Sometimes when I outright try to teach her, she gets upset, and that turns into being stubborn. I think it's because I stress it to much on her. My mom tells people that I don't teach my daughter anything too! So it's really frustrating for me ya know?
She is coming around though! I've been having more fun with her about it. And I'm trying not to bother her.
It's tough for them too! They want to communicate with you back and can't say the words. She understands everything that I say to her too!
Don't worry! You're doing a wonderful job with your son! Maybe he just isn't ready to take that step! He will though! On his own time! Just like mine!

Just repeat things alot and show him pictures of the thing you want him to say and say it slowly and repeat it.
Hire a maid or serviceperson who speaks another language. This is the time when your son's brain is most receptive to other languages. Only allow the non-English speaker to speak with him. Soon he will be spouting all manner of new words in a second language, and one day he will thank you for it when he gets AP credits for college. make sure the words he is saying are not said around him, and reinforce the words you want him to say. they are little recorders. he will pick it up quickly.
Do not feel alone. My son is 2 too and only says 3 words.
Ddd dadah, Pa pa, and Ba. I am thinking that Ba means ma!
But we are very physced but concerned too. My son was born with congential catracts, I discovered them at 3 months of age, by 4 months of age he was wearing contact lenses. So far he is developmental delayed, and will be fitted for glasses this week, and yes he still wears the contacts! He doesn't walk yet, he still crawls and cruises with help. BUt you know what? Every baby develops at their own pace. Still talk to him all the time, love him all the time, play all the time. Soon one day you will see that he is ok. I have a friend who is super smart, he told me that he didnt' start to talk till he was 4! BUt now look at him, great job
great personality, etc. It just takes time and practice. Good luck!
Don't worry too much for now. All kids learn words at different rates. The most important thing is comprehension - does he respond to questions from you? Does he seem to understand you. Often kids know more than they say, or go through stages where they'll latch on to a few words, or a new word, and really run it into the ground for awhile. Then they'll get bored and discover a new word. Keep talking to him, and expose him to new objects, animals, etc. If you're worried, talk to your pediatrician - they might have some better suggestions.

My two-year-old nephew. make it fun. congratulate him when he uses his current vocabulary, and get even more excited when he misuses words. do not correct him, but for example if he sees a cat and says "dog" respond "yes! that is a cat."

I would suggest that you talk with your 2 year old about everything you are doing and sharing. He may not respond right away, but he will get the feel for engaging in a conversation, and learn new words at the same time. If he answers you with words or sounds, then give him lots of hugs and kisses and make him feel so special for talking with you. Good Luck!
OOOOhhhh..Honey...take your time with your child. Not every kid can do everything at that age. I didn't talk til I was about 7 yrs old. I have 2 grandkids that r 2 and they r learning but I don't expect them to say all the words during the age of 2.More time u have the more fun u see. Good luck.Smileread books and more books, interact with him as much as possible and when hes ready words fly out like crazy!!
