What should my child be doing from 13 to 24 months?

As parents or caregivers, we often worry if our child is meeting their milestones. The follow are communication skills we expected to see present by the end listed age. The skills are presented generally chronologically. Children should have most of these skills by the time they are 24 months old.

  • Looks around when asked “where” questions—like “Where’s your blanket?”
  •  Use gestures such as pointing to make requests, to comment, or to get information.
  •  Shakes head for “no” and nods head for “yes.”
  •  Understands and uses words for common objects, some actions, and people in their lives.
  • Knows a few parts of the body and can point to them when asked
  • Follows basic directions (“Roll the ball”) and understands simple questions (“Where’s your shoe?”)
  • Enjoys engaging in simple rhymes, stories, and songs
  • Points to pictures, when named, in books
  • Learns new words on a regular basis
  • Uses some one- or two-word questions (“Where mommy?” or “Go bye-bye?”)
  • Puts two words together (“More juice”)
  • Uses many different consonant sounds at the beginning of words
