My daughter is almost 19 months old and loves dogs but will not say any animal sounds. I tell her the sounds a lot but she is not responding to them. I work full time – any suggestions as to how I should teach her?

I teach music, and we do a lot of activities with animal sounds in the kindergarten classes. After watching my son’s language develop, I thought it would be a fun thing to do with the kinders. As a bonus, they absolutely love to say animal sounds!

I was talking with my husband about this a few days ago. I think that you are right now. Learning animal sounds also helps children learn to form certain sounds with their lips, tongue, and teeth–skills that aid them in their speech development.

Her comprehension is astounding and she can sign please, thank you, more, go, and open. Since her mastery of animal sounds, only a few weeks ago, she hasnt acquired many more words, but comprehension has increased.

We do A LOT of animal names, sounds and I also teach them sign language. One daughter’s first word/sign combo was “dog” at about 11months. So many other word/sign combos soon followed. My other daughter used to say dog (and sign) about the same timeframe as my other daughter and also say duck (she did not sign duck) when my other daughter did, but now only signs “dog” when she sees or hears our dogs. That was her only word up until last week or so and then they both added “no”. She is the more observant child and isn’t as eager to please when it comes to communicating. When she does do a sign though, it is of perfect form. My more verbal daughter tries saying almost every other word and picks up about 1 to 2 signs a day whereas my other daughter does maybe one sign a week. Our doctor feels they are both more advanced than most their age, so I must be doing something right!? Thank for all the suggestions on this site. We have been doing most of them, but I’m always looking for new ideas/projects.

I am not sure what activities I should start with her at this age so that her verbal skills can be improved. Also her ability to recognize things should also be improved.

Could you suggest some activities or books if that helps.
Thanks

My son started out with most of the common animal sounds a little after he turned 1. And for a 22 month old, he is very chatty and speaking many sentences already!

@Emily – My daughter is also learning both languages and I to was a bit concerned but I feel that she is excelling in other areas and it’s just different for all children. I am going to take this idea and apply it to my daughter. I haven’t put the focus on animals but I know she’s knows them and some sounds, so I will start to work on them with her. :) (She’s 18 months)

However, with animal sounds, he took off! We can ask him in English or Spanish what certain animals say and he responds accordingly. It’s been so exciting!
