The little one begins combining syllables and uttering simple words like “mama,” “papa,” or “dada.” Your positive reactions help them grasp the special meaning attached to these words. By the age of one, toddlers typically have two or three consciously spoken words in their vocabulary.

It’s important to note that, while their speech may be somewhat unintelligible, most toddlers at this age already understand speech quite well. For instance, they comprehend phrases like “time to sleep” or “let’s go to the park.”

Throughout this year, your toddler will become more receptive to your instructions and requests, and there’s a possibility they may even start forming sentences consisting of two or three words. This stage marks an exciting development in their language acquisition journey.
