Every child is born at his or her own pace of development, and when it comes to language skills, while many babies only babble simple words like mama, baba on their first birthday, most children can say 8 to 10 words by the time they are 18 months old. If your child’s speaking ability is slow, there is no need to worry too much.

“When do children learn to speak?” is always the question that young parents are most concerned about. The process of language acquisition in children is a long-term process from the time they are in the womb. More importantly, parents always closely follow their children’s developmental milestones to help them develop their language skills as well as their speaking activities.

The motor development of 3-year-old children is often lively and sociable. This is the age when children speak and have more complex actions. In addition, children also become curious, approachable to strangers and have richer imaginations.

Signs that your baby is about to start talking is a question that many parents are concerned about. Understanding the milestones of a baby learning to talk will help parents equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to recognize whether their child is slow to speak or not.
