I would appreciate your views on when your child starts to speak. My 22 month old daughter is very quiet and does not seem to be able to formulate any words. She can at times babble quite a bit and understands most of what we are saying to her but does not formulate hardly any words herself. Her vocab is a limited "dada" and an "oh dear". When should toddlers start to speak more words? Is there anything we should be doing to encourage her speech development ? Or is this quite normal at this stage?
