When a toddler says <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> first word, it can open the floodgates, but it can also be one step out of many, as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they continues<\/span> to experiment with sound and meaning. Even once <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they starts<\/span> understanding and responding to words, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they might<\/span> still be working on making sure the words <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they says<\/span> in return sound the way they should.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where you come in &#8211; in your role as one of the people who knows <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> better than anyone else in the world, you probably have a better chance than most people of knowing exactly what that string of vowels <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> is calling out is supposed to mean, especially when <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> wiggling <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> fingers like that, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your new job as <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>-translator feels like it\u2019s already starting to get old, don\u2019t worry &#8211; <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they just needs<\/span> a little practice. <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">They will<\/span> be a fluent speaker before you know it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>How long will my role as <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>-translator last?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, even you may not always know what <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> means, but by the time <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> about 18 months old, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll understand about 25% of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> words. That\u2019s just you, though &#8211; other adults in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> life may still be a little in the dark. However, <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> ability to be understood should improve pretty steadily, and by the time <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> 4 years old, pretty much everything <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they says<\/span> should be understandable not just to you, but to people who have never even met <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every child\u2019s language development moves at its own pace, but if you\u2019re still doing most of <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s interpreting for <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> by the time <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> 3, it could be a sign that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> having trouble with communication. The cognitive ability to speak&nbsp;is just one part of your toddler&#8217;s communication &#8211; understanding words, and finding ways to make <span data-pronoun=\"themselves\" class=\"pronoun-themselves\">themselves<\/span> understood are more telling. Even if <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they is<\/span> communicating well except for enunciation, though, it could be a sign that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they\u2019s<\/span> having trouble hearing, or that the muscles in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> mouth are having trouble making the sounds <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they needs<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re concerned that your little one might have something that\u2019s getting in the way of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> ability to speak clearly, don\u2019t hesitate to talk it through with <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> doctor. If the doctor&nbsp;is concerned, he or she&nbsp;may recommend an evaluation with a speech-language pathologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Responding to toddler-ese<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your response to toddler-ese is important &#8211; it\u2019s a part of how <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they builds<\/span> <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> confidence in <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> growing communication, for one thing. When <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> says something to you, and you understand what <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they means<\/span>, and respond in a way that <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they can<\/span> understand in return, it encourages <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> to keep trying new things as <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they learns<\/span> to talk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t let out the occasional giggle when one of <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> word-experiments is a little too far outside the box, and no matter how much you practice, there\u2019s a good chance <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> occasionally say things you just can\u2019t figure out. As a general rule, though, <span class=\"pronoun-they\" data-pronoun=\"they\">they will<\/span> appreciate you taking these early communication attempts seriously, even if you have to do a little extra work to figure them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other important part of your response to <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>\u2019s more mumbley communication is that, by casually repeating <span class=\"pronoun-their\" data-pronoun=\"their\">their<\/span> sentence back to <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span>, you can model the right pronunciation of the words to <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> without making <span class=\"pronoun-them\" data-pronoun=\"them\">them<\/span> feel self-conscious. This kind of mirroring also gives <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span> the chance to correct you if your translation isn\u2019t perfect &#8211; you may be the best <span class=\"pronoun-baby\" data-pronoun=\"baby\">Baby<\/span>-translator around, but that doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t slip up now and then.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peter Flipson Jr. \u201cMeasuring Intelligibility in Children: Why and How.\u201d <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Speech-Language-Hearing Association<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
