At the age of two, most children love to have conversations with you, your partner, and any other people that he or she knows. Those conversations probably contain a few questions – your child may even be using questions as a conversation starter.
Toddlers love to ask, and answer questions. They also have a fairly large vocabulary – and can name 50 or more objects that they see in and around the house. Your child probably understands a lot more than that too, and can follow even fairly detailed instructions or requests.
Then there’s the abstract concepts your child is starting to grasp. He or she may now say something like ‘juice all gone’ or request more of something. Those are important signs that your child’s language skills are developing properly.
Read to your child, teach him or her nursery rhymes or play question and answer games, and you’ll be making sure that your child’s vocabulary and language skills keep developing nicely.
Language is one of the most important skills your child is learning at the moment – so spend time answering those endless questions, and conversing with your child.
