My nephew is half a year younger and he talks so much. He repeats after me. But when I ask my DD to repeat after me she will just say something like yes, sure,etc. I'm not sure why? My closest guess is that because we are bilingual. When my husband and I talk with her we speak our native language. But when hubby and I discuss our matters. It's always in English. I'm not sure if that's why? She doesn't understand much English though. She has started to count 1-5 in English and basic words and that's about it. Everything I say in German she understands. Simple directions or what not. She knows most simple vocabulary in German. Anyway, my biggest concern is, is she behind because of two languages in the home? I haven't talked with her pediatrician about this because when we went in for her two year check up. She was fine. She is not scheduled to been seen again till she turns three. Many bilingual moms tell me not to be concerned. But how can I not? When their toddlers are talking more than mine. And they are my DD age.
Anyone in similar shoes? I would love to hear something promising. Or a professional opinion.View Thread
