Words
How many words does/did your 15 month old say? I know some babies are different but just kind of seeing others responses. Cam mostly babbles, can say dad/daddy when he wants to, use to say mama and then he stopped. He understands almost everything I say to him. We speak to him in Tagalog but I'd say 70% is English. I'd like for him to know Tagalog since it's a lost language here in USA but what are ways to get him to say new words? I do read to him every night and we started on little flash cards I found at Target.
My chatterbox said a lot, I would say 80-100... but, only English. I've heard babies in bilingual homes can take longer to speak initially, but then catch up very quick. They are processing twice the information! Just keep talking in both languages, lo is soaking it all up! We read tons of books, talked about the pictures, named everything we saw on our walks, etc. I wish we knew a second language well enough to teach ?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
I know this sounds sooo fkedup but sometimes i wanna get into a bad accident so my husband sees exactly all the things i do ... and how wrong he is by saying i don’t do enough ( not in those words but the jist of it ) anyway .... i think this all the time . Maybe then he will think differently .
@pp it's a language they speak in the Philippines
