Question
Is it normal for a 2.5-year-old child not to understand the meaning of words? Are there any methods that can help them learn language?
Answer
At 2.5 years old, language development can vary greatly from child to child. It’s advisable to check your child’s overall growth and development and create a good language environment for them. Parents can guide their child’s language development by engaging in more communication, teaching them nursery rhymes, and storytelling. At the same time, parents should be mindful to encourage their children to express themselves and provide appropriate prompts and responses when they do.
