Kid just turned 15 months and she's a "mama" "dada" mumbler but not much else so we might need to get her started in speech therapy if she doesn't start learning 3-5 more words. Thought a bunch of you all on here might have experience with a situation like this. Any help or tips is appreciated.
Any tips on getting children talking

You see, when a man and woman love each other they want to express that love with their bodies.
Oh, sorry man. I only saw the subject.

I recommend that you post less and talk to your kid more.
My experience is toddlers will begin walking at around 11 months. After a month, they will run everywhere.
They typically will begin saying a few words at 18 months. Then the momentum accelerates.
She sounds on schedule to me.

Who needs words when facial expressions are so much better?
Have two grandchildren that are austic and and that is one of the signs , but at that age I think you are good ...just don't talk to her like a "baby" anymore if you want her to talk sooner. She can only learn from what she hears.
Get an evaluation and get therapy. Had a similar thing but it more was that we couldn’t understand ours at all. Had it pretty well fixed by the end of kindergarten.
JMO, but I don't think it's a big deal yet at 15 months.
Let me start by saying I have three children.
My middle child (boy) didn’t talk for what seemed like forever. I was concerned and talked with speech therapist. When he did he talk it was in complete sentences and is so smart it’s odd. He’s a genius.
The other option is your kid is handicapped. Good luck.

I think 15 months is way too soon to make that call. I have a 4 year old brother, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't doing much, verbally, until 2.5-3 years. He understood everything, just couldn't quite get to talking.
And now he won't shut the **** up..

Way too early to be worried about that. My daughter was the same at that and my wife was worried but the pediatrician wouldn’t even consider therapy until she was 2, now she knows all kinds of words, recognizes colors and counts to 10 at 22 months.
Read to your child, sing songs with them, and talk to them. If they’re babbling and at least understand words you’re fine.

Some kids talk earlier than others do. I see no cause to worry.
If she has older siblings this is not unusual. My oldest daughter talked up a storm right away. 2nd daughter rarely talked. Younger siblings differ to the older ones to do the talking.
Great advise in a couple replies above about reading to her.

A good ol gut punch will get'em talking....ironic....it also makes them shut up!
Oh she understands. She knows when she's doing something bad and ill say her name or "No" And she'll look at me with a grin as to say " I'm going to do it when you're not looking".
Read to your kids every single night until they are old enough to read to themselves. Even for just 10 mins. Even when you're tired.
That's what we did with both of our kids. Not only is it good bonding time (you'll miss those quiet moments together once they get older, so soak them in early), it's also been proven to lead to your child reading sooner and better in addition to talking.

Your brother is 4? How old are you? 10?
Or did your old man trade in your mom for a trophy wife?
Even if she doesn't listen, she hears.
And yes I stole that from White Men Can't Jump.
Our granddaughter is 18 months and talks a lot, but her mom & dad read to her, we read to her, her other grandparents read to her, her great grandparents read to her. We have tons of books and puzzles for her and she loves them. We don't even have to encourage her, as she'll grab a couple of books and climb up into your lap. Agree with others that reading to them is a key.
My oldest is 26 months and is very advanced for her age, can count to 30, recite alphabet, just smart as a whip. My niece is 11 and extremely smart too, started talking at 3, barely talked at 2.5 years old. My son is 8 weeks old and if he’s not talking at 15 months can’t imagine I’d care that much. Long story short - everyone is different and the stupid “milestones” crap you read in books just stresses people out. If your child has an actual condition you’ll know.
Only let her watch Masterpiece Theater. You don't want her sounding like these uncouth savages.
Believe this or not, but my granddaughter could read well before she was 3 and I'm not talking see Billy run stuff. Read her own birthday cards and all that stuff. Now is given special books in kindergarten to read and works on comprehension. She can read HS stuff, but may have no clue what it means...amazing!

Kids learn from others. Just put the kid with a bunch of women. It'll never quit talking
Yep. Dad's 67. Dad remarried. Step mom is hardly a trophy. I'm 32.
Sounds like granddaughter. Was reading 200-300 words b4 2-1/2 & elementary books before 3. Told her what a word was once & she knew forever even if she didn't fully understand it Was just student of the Q as a HS FR in school of 1200. Did I tell you I can't contain myself?
This is worth infinite likes.
Best thing a parent can do to help a kid learn and ultimately do well in school is read to him. Keep doing it as long as you can. Neither you nor your kids will regret it.
My condolences Col. Angus on these troubling times. Mine we're talking at 2 months and 23 days. I'll pray for you.
My grandson loves reading anything regarding neuroscience. He will be 1 tomorrow. His parents read to him, and stay off social media and Rivals. Weird huh?
Mine turned two a month ago and he talks non stop but we did what a lot of people suggested and read to him all the time. He loves it! Plus the wife being an Occupational therapist didn't hurt either she worked with him a lot too. Main thing is read to them they pick up more than you think.
I watch my wife's niece's 12 month old for a couple of hours here and there and she is talking up a storm in baby talk. She says about 3 words that are understandable right now. She came a long way quickly though with other things so I am sure the words will start flowing here soon. Probably the same for your kid.
15 months seems a little young to worry about it, but I’m no expert so don’t take my word for it. Just google it.
IMO you’ll be back in a year asking how to make them shut up.

I can only get on the rivals via CPU so I'm only on here during downtimes at work of after my kid is already asleep.
