According to the normal development of children's language and speech, when they are 18 months old, they will be able to speak about 20 and 50 words or more when they are 2 years old.
However, the time when children learn to speak is not the same. There are babies babbling the first simple words at 12 months of age, there are babies 24 months new babbling. But often children begin to learn to speak at the 18th month

.
If your child is 2 years old and still can't speak, it is considered a slow speech. The cause of slow speech may be due to the mouth's ability to move like difficulty using the tongue, teeth and jaw to make sounds.
Usually children start to learn to speak at 18 months
Hearing problems can also sometimes cause speech problems If hearing is poor, children will have problems understanding, imitating and using language.




You should continue to monitor and encourage pronunciation by talking to your child more often, reading stories, singing to them and encouraging them to imitate their language, explaining what your child is doing when cook or clean the house, tell children the names of foods: vegetables, tubers, fruits or utensils, drinks, toys ...
You should take your child to see a pediatrician or check the Audiology Department to find out the cause of speech delay. Usually when children are 2 and a half years old, they can temporarily catch up with their peers..
