Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2022 What do people class as first words? As in, Jack is already saying "mama". But he's not REALLY saying it. He has just discovered how to make the "ma" noise and has strung it together. So sometimes he'll say "mamamamamamamamamama" or any number of "ma" in a row, but sometimes it's "mama" He doesn't know that he's saying a word. But he is kind of speaking. Does that count? His mom thinks it counts. I'm saying it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively, I reckon it needs some basic understanding or intent, if he says it while looking around for her, absolutely But I'd just let her have it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel bad if it was Dada. She deserves it. It's more that I don't want us going round bragging that Jack is talking when he's 5 months old when he's really just making noises.

Nothing for months, then suddenly a dozen words. Then another long wait, and another sudden increment. Goes on like that for the first 3 or 4 years. When our eldest was about two, she was doing simple sentences like "I want some more", "Where is Teddy?", and so on. Then one day at the dinner table she looked at her mum and said: "The trouble with you is, you're TOO OLD". Knife, fork and jaw all dropped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on to sentences like that yet but my 2 year old daughters 5th or 6th word was tortoise, I was gobsmacked She has an animal puzzle and me costantly saying her bring me the tortoise that's my favourite taught her the word She can name a lot of animals and make animal noises but she still can't say cat or dog, the ones that we taught her the noises for are the ones that she can't say Can't remember what her first word was, the first word she could say in English and in German though was more / mehr, she knows about 10 words in both languages, leans more towards english in general as we have a lot of German books that my wife reads the story to her properly while I don't I just point at things and say the word, her mom reads her 6 sentences in german about the mouse going to bed I point at the book and say "mouse" and "bed" so she's picking me up quicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start them early, and kids that age can easily learn multiple languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled to keep at it during lockdown and he's massively regressed. Was the same with swimming. They'll learn super quick but you have to keep at it or it'll go just as quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is 5 next week. It's only since starting school in September that we've got her to stop saying Gog and Gonkey. Although think it turned into a bit of a game because it was quite funny and endearing to start with. We would get her saying D D D D D then when prompted to say dog she'd still go Gog.

For my son it worked great, he’d go to sleep before the end. Not so much success with the daughter but still settled her down. What is this called mate?
