My son will be 2 feb 10th... He refuses to talk, but he says mom and thats about it... It stresses me out not knowing what he tries to tel me, and I know he get fusterated with me because I dont understand what he wants or needs... Does anyone know what I could do to help him talk?? I have tried everything, but nothing seems to work... thank you for your help!!

i would just give him time or herhaps you can have him evaluated for speech therapy.

my daughter did not talk much until she was lalmost 3 and my son is turned 2 in september and only has like a 4 word vocabulary. i would recommend trying sign language. thats what my speech therapist did for my daughter.

I was doin the same but i went and had him tested and they say he will talk when he want so i took matters in my own hands i teach him how to sign its great and it works so know when he wants more or jucie or even say thank you he can with sign language you can go to wwwsigningbaby.com or go to your library and get books and dvds try it . it just might be your answer it was mine

Well, my experience is that my son, who just turned 2 in January was delayed in speech due to chronic ear infections.  He ended up with tubes in when he turned one.  So because of the surgery I didn't take his nook away until about 2 months ago.  Once the nook was gone and his ears where open he started talking.  He also didn't really talk until I put him in daycare.  I put him in there for the social skills and playtime he would get.  Now, he's counting and singing the alphabet telling me things I didn't teach him and I love it!  I'm amazed everyday!  Good luck!

My son will be two in March and he is not saying much yet either.  I am not worried though because I have heard that boys somtimes talk later.  We use sign language to communicate with him.  Good luck!

Dont stress until he is 3 and still not talking...I used to be a speech therapist asst. and sometimes when you use signing it takes them longer to  talk because they can already communicate so they dont want to learn something new.... just something to think about...
